This is an example of juvenalian satire because the attitude of the writer is very attacking and bitter and shows anger in the topic throughout the cartoon. This is cartoon is hard to pin point a specific use of satire, but I am leaning towards invective satire because the cartoon doesn't necessarily use words or have an abusive speech, but it portray an abusive expression about our country. The abusiveness comes from the fact that we all no 1+1=2, but just because a higher authority person is saying it is equal to 5 and the bad, stumpy looking guy says the right answer everyone is to believe the more respected one. Now since I have explained this more I also realize that this satire might involve stereotypes as well. Not only because of the higher authority and such, but also because everyone in society is a product of there own community. This piece can be shown as society is forced to believe everything they are told from someone in a higher position, but I believe that people aren't forced they choose because that's how we were taught and automatically our brains (well the majority of our brains) go, judge and bias our opinions based on the outside before we even here a point.
