This is a joke, don't take it too seriously.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The elephant—a symbol of the Republican Party dating back to Thomas Nast’s cartoon in Harper's Weekly in 1874—has long been thought to be both “strong and dignified.” While these words have not always described the Grand Old Party itself, they do well apply to the old and familiar elephant symbol, with its simple red and blue graphic forms and three patriotic stars. The new Republican National Convention logo has pushed the immobile elephant in a less cute direction, now looking something like Babar's evil and dumb cousin who ate wild mushrooms; it's breaking free of the circus ring in order to bludgeon the crowd. Simplicity has been cast aside with the new agressive stripes, flailing limbs, a curly trunk, and pointy tusks. A terrifyingly patriotic and angry eye stares at the indoctrinated far right, and threatens the majority of the United States (also the world) with a circus of policies we can't even imagine. Just like the party it symbolizes—the symbol is both unwieldy and frightening—"strong and dignified" no more.
This is what the terror looks like up close, right before you get crushed.
