Sadly, very sadly, these sentiments were almost everywhere on the home front during World War II. To put Theodore Geisel and his dehumanizing caricatures in the context of his era, I strongly recommend "War Without Mercy" by John Dower. https://t.co/VpdZQmzMPq — PolitiTweet.org

He also did this cartoon portraying Japanese Americans as a sinister herd of stray alley cats. https://t.co/ZpR7csnwi9

Terrific @JillDLawrence column. Worth recalling: From 1953-55, with an evenly divided Senate, control of the chamber changed almost monthly with nine (!) deaths and a resignation. — PolitiTweet.org

A must-read, including for Senate Dems, from @JillDLawrence https://t.co/nT5Z8Zuezx

@rmeszoly I don't know if Geisel was worse than the norm for that era. I suspect not. But I think you could can find dozens of cartoonists during World War II whose work was similarly offensive to contemporary eyes. — PolitiTweet.org
