Opinion of this Political Cartoon

[SPC]

Is the cartoonist suggesting that Republicans need to support amnesty, abortion, gun control, tax increases, and compromise with Democrats to win elections?

The cartoon references the 1980 election. By that time, Reagan was pro-life and tax cuts were the central issue of his campaign. Immigration was a non-issue, and Reagan was the most pro-gun candidate in the election.

And yet he signed tax increases into law and gave amnesty to illegal immigrants.

So policies Reagan implemented in 1986 are responsible for his election victories in 1980 and 1984?

And that's why the budget deficit and illegal immigration have ceased to be problems since Reagan became "serious" and betrayed his campaign promises.
