Disclaimer: I am a registered Republican, Trump blew it on Jan 6th, 2020 – He proved it was all about Him. When vote time came, I wrote in Nicki Haley as my protest. A wasted vote yes, but I did know we needed a change, just not to a lying Dictator that put America up for sale. Bash me if you want. But that’s who I am.

Something’s stirring in America’s heartland, a subtle tremor you won’t catch in the headlines or poll numbers. It’s in the furrowed brows, the hushed conversations, the moments of doubt creeping into the eyes of those who once waved flags with unshakeable fervor.It’s the sting of realizing the deal wasn’t what it seemed.

Folks who rallied behind Donald Trump’s bold promises are starting to see the real cost—not just in their wallets, but in eroded trust, vanishing healthcare, and a party more loyal to one man than to the people.

The chants of “Make America Great” now echo against a backdrop of legal battles and unkept vows.You hear it in the murmurs: “This isn’t what I signed up for.” Even among the staunchest supporters, the question lingers—when did devotion to a cause become a blank check for power?

This cartoon series dives into that unease with a wry lens, not to point fingers but to hold up a sketchpad. Through sharp wit and vivid imagery, it captures the slow unraveling of blind allegiance. What does it look like when the scales fall from someone’s eyes? When they see their patriotism was a prop in someone else’s play? These drawings don’t preach. They provoke thought. Because waking up to reality is tough—but it’s the spark that lights the way to something better.
