In this politcal cartoon the satire is obvious. The idea that left wing and right wing ideology has been slowly seperating over the past years up to currently in 2012. The ideology of both sides and their politcal views once has something in common but by 1992 the center ground was nearly separated and by 2012 it is completly apart. The common grounds of both party's politcal views have significantly changed since 1982, mainly due to the difference in political figures and their opinions. How they relate to personal interest can be a primary focus point of this distance. In class we cover how the politcal ideology of both parties has changed over the years and how this influences people that vote. In 2012 this can mean less people are likely to vote and be less represntative of American issues.
