The Daily Cartoonist is one of those things that makes me glad that I do still check my Google News App[1] at least once or twice a day. It's a site that randomly popped up on there a few months ago, and now I've got it in my Feedly feed. (And doing so has shown me that I've missed a lot more of them than I've seen, even though I'm also "following" it in my Google News App.)
Also, it's kind of funny that depicting a character wearing a red trucker hat has become shorthand for indicating that said character is a blithering moron whose views and opinions are beneath contempt. That's all it takes anymore. Doesn't even need to have "MAGA" clearly shown on it. Just a red trucker hat is all that's required. True to life, honestly.
[1] - More and more often lately, my Google News App is an exercise in frustration, because it keeps showing me crap that I have absolutely zero interest in, despite me having explicitly picked "Fewer stories about a topic:" for said topics. For example, I've probably tapped "Fewer stories about a topic: Space Exploration Technologies Corp." at least a hundred times now. Maybe the next time I do that will be the magic tipping point that makes it finally stop showing me stories about SpaceX. Yeah, right.
