A deluge of editorial cartoons the past few days. Attribution: Andy Singer, Politicalcartoons.com Please Read This This past week, the Jan 6 Committee of the United States House of Representatives held its last scheduled hearing in its wide-ranging investigation of the insurrection by MAGA fanatics that took place on the Capitol grounds in Washington, DC on January 6, 2021. Following the committee’s decision and historic vote this past Thursday to subpoena Donald Trump, the nation’s editorial cartoonists were in high gear and closely following every political move. The result was that more editorial cartoons were published than I’ve seen in any one-week period in recent memory. Therefore, I’m going to limit the diary to include how Trump was portrayed by the cartoonists, how his actions were interpreted prior to and after the insurrection, and the predictably indifferent reaction of the GOP and its hordes of MAGA supporters. Note : This diary includes almost 40 editorial cartoons and other relevant Tweets and images. I have alreay posted 20 additional cartoons in the comments section. I might post additional cartoons in comments on the disaster that is Herschel Walker as the GOP’s US Senate nominee in Georgia, the Russia-Ukraine War, climate change, pot legalization, protests in Iran, women’s rights, the DeSantis shenanigans in Floriduh, and other issues of interest. Should time permit, I will more than likely post Part 2 of this diary on these isues either later tonight or at some point tomorrow. Hope you enjoy reading it. Thanks.

HOW TO VOTE
WHAT’S ON THE BALLOT
EXPLORE THE ISSUES At the height of the Civil Rights Movement, 20-year-old Andrew Goodman joined the Freedom Summer Project of 1964 to register Black Americans to vote. On his first day in Mississippi, the Ku Klux Klan murdered Andy and two other civil rights workers, James Chaney and Michael Schwerner. Their murders catalyzed a movement to oppose white supremacy and voter suppression throughout the United States and led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Founded by his parents Robert and Carolyn Goodman to carry on his legacy, The Andrew Goodman Foundation’s mission is to make young voices and votes a powerful force in democracy by training young leaders, engaging high-potential voters, and challenging restrictive voter suppression laws.

Finally…
Charles Schulz was more than just the cartoonist who created the wildly-successful “Peanuts” comic strip with its legendary cartoon characters such as Charlie Brown, Lucy Van Pelt, Snoopy, Peppermint Patti, and a host of others.
Schulz was firmly committed to the democratic process and used his platform to actively support women’s issues in the 1970s as I mentioned in this diary last year about the historic Billie Jean King-Bobby Riggs tennis match — “The Male is King, the Male is Supreme, and Women Should Know That." — Part I and Part II.
Charles Schulz brought his life-long passion for sports to Peanuts, and from the very beginning his girl characters participated in sports of all kinds. Schulz often used the theme of fairness in his comic strip and believed in giving everyone equal opportunity. Consequently, in Peanuts he created standout girl athletes, demonstrated that a girl could excel in one sport and not in another, and encouraged girls’ participation in sports as diverse as football and figure skating. Schulz became even more aware of the issue of equal opportunity for women in sports after meeting legendary sports icon Billie Jean King in the early 1970s and throwing his support behind the Women’s Sports Foundation (WSF). One of the WSF’s major goals was to ensure the implementation of Title IX. Signed into law in 1972, Title IX guaranteed equal access to both men and women in federally–funded educational programs and activities, including sports. “I have a vision, Chuck … I can see the day coming when women will have the same opportunities in sports as men!” — Peppermint Patty, September 27, 1979 — Charles M Schulz Museum.

Diary Poll
Is MAGA Madness and Trumpism a fleeting political phenomenon? Or, does it have any lasting value? How long will it last and impact our politics? When Trump leaves the political scene, will it still resonate?
I’m interested in hearing your opinions.
