The April 2021 cartoon by Dave Whamond shows two Republican elephants labeled Traditional Republicans and Trumpism straining in opposite directions until a crack forms between them. Both figures deny any split while their bodies separate. The image reflects ongoing Republican Party tensions after the 2020 election as some members embraced Trump-aligned positions and others resisted. It captures the debate over whether the party remained unified or had fractured along ideological lines.
