This was a warning disguised as a joke. Nearly 30 years later, it feels more like reality. If satire keeps predicting the future, maybe we should start taking it seriously.
A satirical MAD Magazine spread parodying Pat Buchanan’s 1996 campaign. The top-left panel features a fake newspaper titled Daily Poop with a headline that reads, "BUCHANAN COURT BANS ABORTION – Now Constitutionally Prohibited," suggesting a future where a Buchanan-led Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. The adjacent page invites the reader to “change women’s lives” by opening a door labeled “Illegal Abortion Clinic,” revealing a hand holding a coat hanger. The bottom-left panel shows Buchanan passionately delivering a speech, while the opposite page instructs the reader to “excite his supporters” by pulling a tab, revealing a crowd of uniformed men raising their arms in a Nazi-style salute. A quote at the bottom praises Adolf Hitler as a courageous leader. The spread uses dark humor and interactive elements to satirize Buchanan’s extreme positions on reproductive rights and his appeal to far-right supporters.

Cutting foreign aid, demonizing immigrants, attacking environmental protections, banning abortion, and stirring up far-right supporters—these were the exaggerated ‘jokes’ back then.
A satirical MAD Magazine spread parodying Pat Buchanan’s 1996 campaign. The top-left panel shows Buchanan gleefully nailing a “CLOSED” sign on the Environmental Protection Agency door, with the caption: “Pat can indulge in environmental budget cuts.” The adjacent page invites the reader to “indulge in environmental budget cuts” with a scratch-and-sniff “industrial pollution” sticker, featuring smokestacks emitting dark clouds while birds choke. The bottom-left panel shows Buchanan helping his campaign chairman prepare for a speech, while the opposite page instructs the reader to “help him prepare” by pulling a tab that lowers a Ku Klux Klan-style hood over the chairman’s head. The spread uses interactive elements and exaggerated satire to highlight the perceived consequences of Buchanan’s policies.

MAD Magazine has always been known for its brutal satire, but this one from 1996 about a certain far-right candidate feels disturbingly relevant today. It was meant to mock the extremes of the time, but look at where we are now.
A satirical MAD Magazine spread mocking Pat Buchanan’s 1996 campaign. The top panel shows Buchanan signing “Budget Cutbacks” to reduce foreign aid, while the adjacent page invites the reader to “cut foreign aid” by pulling a tab that removes food from a starving child’s mouth. The bottom panel depicts Buchanan building a “U.S.A.-Mexico” wall, with the opposite page encouraging the reader to “take a hard line against immigration” by pulling a tab to kick a mustached immigrant labeled with a racial slur out of the country. The comic uses exaggerated caricatures and interactive elements to highlight the harsh implications of Buchanan’s policies.

This MAD Magazine parody of Pat Buchanan’s 1996 campaign was meant to be an exaggeration… but looking at it now, it doesn’t feel so far off from reality. Kinda wild how much of this still applies today. #politics #satire
A satirical MAD Magazine spread mocking Pat Buchanan’s 1996 presidential campaign. The top-left section introduces a faux children's book titled Pat the Candidate by Dorothy Koldhardt, featuring a smiling caricature of Buchanan holding a mirror reflecting Adolf Hitler’s face. The accompanying text sarcastically presents him as a misunderstood politician. Below, the book mimics the style of Pat the Bunny, stating, “This is Pat. He is running for President. You can run for President, too.” On the opposite page, Buchanan is illustrated in cowboy attire, holding a rifle. The spread uses dark humor and parody to critique Buchanan’s policies and the extremist rhetoric associated with his campaign.
