SCRATCH A PROGRESSIVE, FIND A TYRANTCartoon published 03/16/2026Maxine Dexter, a US Representative from Oregon, recently labeled milk in schools as ‘white supremacy’ because some races may be lactose intolerant. Progressives then called milk consumption ‘dietary racism.’ It sounds crazy—and it is—but such reactionary thinking is a predictable result of leftists who must always be progressing further left. Progressives are all about making ‘progress’ by means of government. They tend to reject God—and especially Christian conservatism—but they worship government. The more the better. The bigger the better.SIGN UP FOR THE GRRRGRAPHICS NEWSLETTER AND NEVER MISS A CARTOON- CLICK TO SIGN UP TODAYThe result are perpetual tax hikes, along with expanding fees and fines that feed their burgeoning bureaucracy—a bureaucracy that orders us how to live. It’s all getting worse. Want to do a little kayaking at a public waterway in Oregon? Get ready to pay a $10 dollar ‘waterway access fee.’ Oh wait, it just went up to $20. Progressives are control freaks and if you are having fun somewhere, somehow, then they want to supervise and tax it.Subscribe to us on X and support our work!

Progressives have become anti-police and as a result crime has exploded. A urine-soaked Portland is now just behind Memphis in crime—it is no longer the safe city it was only 20 years ago. Over 100 restaurants have closed and many businesses have already fled. Vote out the progressive leadership? Not likely. They utilize Trump Derangement Syndrome to gain reelection and their anti-Trump disease is so deep and embedded that progressive leaders would rather destroy their own states and cities rather than display even a small hint that their steady leftward march might be slowing.California’s Governor Newsom has all but destroyed his state due to his leftist, progressive policies. He could not be recalled and he keeps getting reelected. How? The blue cities and states control the elections, that’s how. They especially utilize fake mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting, which has become completely corrupt. Gavin now thinks he can become president, mostly using his baseless confidence and good looks. He wants to destroy USA like he did the once-great state of California.All progressives want to be seen as more progressive. Democrat politicians who are seen as letting up—even a little—are drowned in ridicule. The end result is taxpayer slavery and misery. A tyrant can be found in all progressives. They want total control, just like Castro, Mao, or Stalin. Taxpayers become virtual slaves—the progressives steal our labor just like the gulags in the old Soviet Union under Stalin. A corrupt media props up their progressive leaders’ lies and corruption.Join us on SubscribeStar, you can support Ben with an easy monthly donation and see all cartoons before they are published, see you there!To solve the problems caused by progressives, we must first remove them from office. Requiring voter ID and the elimination of mail-in ballots are good first steps. — The GrrrTeam
