The Weight of ‘Greatness’
This impactful cartoon depicts a figure, likely representing the average American, struggling under the enormous weight of a large, brick-like structure labeled “Make America Great Again.” The burden is visibly heavy, causing the figure to strain and bend under its pressure. The image critiques the slogan by suggesting that the pursuit of this idea of “greatness” is placing an overwhelming burden on ordinary people. The cartoon highlights the potential costs and challenges that come with political slogans and promises, questioning whether the drive to “make America great again” is truly benefiting the people or instead placing undue strain on them.
