and his Twitter account.
Some of Garrison's toons have been posted about here previously, because of the bigotry on display.
I finally looked at his Twitter account and his website after seeing one of his gross cartoons the other day.
Both his toons and the crap he tweets and retweets perfectly demonstrate why Hillary Clinton was accurate in labeling this sort of Trump supporter "deplorable."
He's apparently the favorite cartoonist of the alt-right, and calls alt-right troll Mike Cernovich a friend.
This is his Twitter account

and this is his website

He's whining today that he's being censored in social media

Gee, I wonder why?

DUers pointed out two years ago that a sick cartoon comparing Michelle Obama to Melania Trump -- Michelle depicted with big muscles and a crotch bulge -- was racist:

Ben Garrison's alternate reality is worse than that, as I noticed skimming his disgusting Twitter account yesterday.
He posted a photo of Michelle Obama holding a microphone over her lap, and told his sick fans, "Caption this..."
And doing so, he showed what was really behind that racist cartoon attacking Michelle.
Garrison apparently believes, or at least enjoys encouraging, the batshit RW claim that Michelle is really a man and Barack is gay. (If you haven't run across that insane slander yet, you have no idea how crazy RWNJs are.)
Warning -- the replies to Garrison's tweet are even sicker than his cartoon.

But I'm posting it here because IMO Garrison's tweet and most of the replies should be reported to Twitter:
https://help.twitter.com/en/safety-and-security/report-abusive-behavior
Some of the people replying there are insulting Garrison, and God knows he deserves their insults. But he should be reported, too.

(2,050 posts)A year or so ago, isn't this the same gonad that has a nickname that includes the word "Zyklon"?, which is the chemical used in the gas chambers by the nazis?
This is why I didn't look at any more of his crap, a full blown fucking nazi spewing hate to his followers.

https://www.wired.com/story/ben-garrison-alt-right-cartoonist/
As a DU thread I link to in the OP explains, Garrson's actual toons have been anti-Semitic, but not as extreme as the altered examples shown in that article. His toons also come across as racist and misogynistic.

That exit ramp is perfect. Over the edge into oblivion they go!

Ending up as a grease spot in the dirt.
Fitting end for them.

Psychoanalysts would have a field day with anyone who can look at Trump and come up with images like that.

(2,050 posts)Dressed up as superman or doing physical things you know he would never attempt due to the cheeseburger bulge.
This is why I don't worry about the hard core dumpf lovers, you can't talk sense into them, that cow has left the barn.
Just think if Barrack Obama had a cartoon depicting him as a superman?, they'd still be ranting about it.
But he was a superman, he absorbed all the hate and divisiveness thrown at him and smiled back and kept doing his job, and doing it better than any one president I can remember and I'm 59 now.
Tell you what, i'd vote for him again in a heartbeat, we never had it so good.
And we almost had that again with Hillary.
