David, The cartoon and any other form of communication is always helpful. I don’t want anyone to call a god damned coup, denial! Harris: Record breaking money raised! Filled stadiums with people who know how to deliver messages. The fucking right wing press BLITZED the US. This is the same reason UK ended up with Brexit. We HAVE BEEN ATTACKED. So let’s start with that. Do we have a massive number of idiots? YES ! Did Harris lose every swing stare that Biden won? Hell No!

Trump goes to prison without this win. FASCISTS are vile! This was helped with cooperation of Putin (proven) and other enemy countries…of which we have many. We have blitzed other countries in the 1950s onward for tyrannical control of their economies. We’re experts.

Where to go? Blue state Governors are taking this on! I live in IL. My Gov has already called a special session to block as much damage of trump’s lunacy as possible. Scott Dworkin has been in touch with every Blue State Gov to work with a consolidated force! Blue California is the 5th largest economy in the WORLD! Fuck around with that!

Steps you can take from red or blue states. Call or email or write physical letters to these Blue State Governors to thank them! They NEED TO SEE SUPPORT! Look up Democratic Governors and start writing!

I will put a list on my Substack.

David, thanks for sharing Kevin's cartoons and his words. I'm glad he's being selfish.

Right there with you, Kevin. Not sure what comes next. But I’m stuck wondering if my country ever measured up to my high expectations.

That sums it up. I assumed good would win over evil...silly me. There is no reason, based in fact, to vote for him. Russia and Disinformation won. It pays to cheat like hell.

In my opinion it is time to change the branding of the Democratic party to the Center Left party which is where the majority of Americans are. We can fight authoritarianism with that coalition.

I keep hearing that the USA is the land of opportunities and dreams being fulfilled. Yes maybe for the strong but what about all those who don’t get to reach their dreams? I think it is only for the few and the rest say what about us and why aren’t we reaching our dreams and getting those opportunities. I am Danish/Canadian. Stop lying to your citizens and to immigrants. It’s shaming when most ordinary people cannot reach theIr dreams . They blame the government and Trump promises to put more money in their hands and of course people go for it. The USA needs to get real. Stop worshipping your founding fathers. Stop B.S.ing your citizens.

Musk stole the election. Period

Thank you. I love that you're doing these and look forward to your other cartoons as well. As for me, I went through a brief period of Denial. Currently Angry. (And I expect to skip the rest of the stages entirely.)

I’m experiencing all the same things Kevin is feeling. Gratitude to Kevin for using his art form to process his grief - and then sharing it with the world so we can see we are not alone in our feelings. I needed this. Thank you.

Keep in mind that trump improved his 2020 figures by only about a million votes, despite all the fear mongering and bigotry thumping. What lost this election was voter apathy. The fact that such apathy may not survive the effects of Project 2025 on ordinary citizens--bigoted, misogynist, or not --is something we can use going forward.
