What’s wrong with this picture? Nothing really, just that the democratic donkey and the republican elephant are agreeing on conduct. So what is wrong with this picture? If they are agreeing, then why are they glaring at each other? Well, the cartoonist makes it very clear. Democrats and Republicans agree on hows. But the Whys, well, there’s a reason why Gun Control is in blue and Immigration Reform is in red. Democrats and Republicans may both want strict background checks, limited numbers, and beefed up enforcement, but while the Democrats want them to be implemented for Gun reform, the Republicans want them for Immigration Reform. Same hows, different whys. The two parties are saying the same thing, just with different reasons. So why are they glaring at each other?
Well, I believe that’s the whole point of this little cartoon. The two parties are too stubborn to compromise on the one point they actually agree on, because of categorical discrepancies, the very sad thing about party politics. The question left is, will the two parties compromise on this point, or will their separate 'whys' prevent them from moving forward?
