The New Yorker's Latest Graphic Describing Republicans Vs. Democrats Is Going Viral

Posted 7 hours ago

The New Yorker, a magazine known for its political cartoon art, recently published an article titled "What MAGA Can Teach Democrats About Organizing—and Infighting."

The article's now-viral accompanying art featured a group of identical red hands pointing in the same direction, while a group of blue hands pointed in all different directions, and some blue hands not pointing at all. You can check it out here.

In the article's subtitle, author Charles Duhigg wrote, "Republicans have become adept at creating broad coalitions in which supporting Trump is the only requirement. Democrats get tied up with litmus tests."

The now-viral graphic has received over 8.2 million views on X, and thousands of commenters are praising its symbolic creativity:

"this really does sum it up so beautifully," this person agreed.

"I think it's especially poignant that all of the red hands are pointing directly to the right, and absolutely none of the blue ones are pointing directly to the left," another person said.

And this person called the graphic, "painfully accurate."
