Gary McCoy's cartoon from 2025 divides the frame into two scenarios on radicalization. On the left, a figure in a cap holds a sign declaring 'I ♥ Jesus!' under the label 'When a Christian becomes radicalized...'. The right side shows a sunglasses-wearing man with a rifle emitting smoke, gripping a yellow sign that reads 'CHARLIE KIRK IS A FASCIST!' labeled 'When a liberal becomes radicalized.'. Tags like MAGA, Jesus, radicalized, Christian, liberal, Charlie Kirk, gun control, mental health, religion, Donald Trump, social media, and science frame the visual commentary. The piece highlights perceived disparities in how extremism manifests across ideological lines, with the Christian side shown as affectionate and the liberal as potentially violent.
