Laughing into Belief: How Visual Satire Quietly Shapes Political Minds

At its core, visual satire functions by distorting reality in a deliberate and meaningful way. Artists exaggerate facial features, body proportions, or situations to highlight hypocrisy, corruption, or absurdity in political life. These distortions are not random; they are carefully constructed to guide viewers toward a specific interpretation or emotional response. Through humor, irony, and ridicule, visual satire invites the audience to question authority and dominant political narratives.
