Actually, there is a difference.
Let's say Republicans were complaining about Betty and Veronica wearing string bikinis, so DiCarlo drew them in swimsuits. Chances are, that would have been good enough.
But leftists wouldn't stop until...well, what? There is never an end to their demands.
Republicans weren't moving us to a right-wing tyranny, they stupidly moved us towards a CORPORATE tyranny. By deregulating the corporations they merged, became more powerful, until now just about everything is run by a few people- and they push leftism. This is why I get so disgusted when people say "let them drill for oil," I say "yeah, like giving the corporations what they want has ever turned out well for the rest of us, right? Who the hell do you think is pushing all of that leftist propaganda in entertainment- some teenager with a 1970s printing kit? Who do you think is shafting us at the fuel pump?"
