A armadilha do \'terceiro mandato\'
1875
Thomas Nast, the father of the American political cartoon, brilliantly traps the Republican elephant in this 1875 satire. At the top of a deep pit, a man representing the press lures the massive beast with a plank labeled as a warning against President Ulysses S. Grant's rumored third term. It's a clever visual pun, showing how the media's fear-mongering about 'Caesarism' might actually be the very trap that destroys the party's chances. Nast essentially invented the elephant as the GOP's symbol right around this time, making this a foundational piece of American political imagery!
