The Protestors

Background Information
Bruce Plante created this piece to show the negative effects of protesting during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The nurse symbolizes hospitalized patients spiking after protests during this era, where the people fighting symbolizes the republican party. The importance of this post is to show that the protest itself is the reason why it is taking so long for reopening.
Technique Used
Attack Opponents
This is propaganda because
This is propaganda because it lays a political party as the antagonist of the pandemic when individual desires are disorganized through parties. The piece attacks one side to invoke emotion and change with the idea that majority of people who think this way are relative to a political stance. The post does state true facts, which would be highly beneficial to promote to all.

    I like this would be a rather harmful form of propaganda. I think this because the cartoon does target one side of the people and tries to paint them a certain way, even if it's not for a necessarily vile reason. My view matches half and half with everyone else because 50% said that this is more beneficial and 50% thinks it's more harmful. I think the people who think it's harmful, more me, are thinking this paints all protestors as evil and bad, while the people who view it more beneficial think of it in the sense of supporting nurses.
