    This…isn’t funny. This is just a repeat of what we’ve seen on the news. This is literally the trump-era-SNL of comic strips.

    The only problem with this comic is that it could have been written non-satirically by a conservative without changing a word.

        NGL, I went to their website to see what kind of content creator they were before posting, because it really could be taken either way, which is a pretty sad reflection of the state of things right now.

      That problem is the same I’ve faced talking to people. They distrust science and anything that disagrees with what they have been told by trusted people in their tribes (often church). That’s what makes this message effective.

        That’s the whole schtick with faith: it’s belief without evidence, by definition.

        Anyone prepared to have faith in anything is ripe for exploitation, by anyone.

        Churchies self-select for exploitation.

          You know 45% of Christians vote for Democrats, right? I think that was last election, I haven’t checked the recent one, but it’s a large fraction.

          I know Christians have done a lot of damage, and the evil ones are incredibly loud. It’s still weird how some atheists think that only blithering idiots exist in religions.

            Why would it be weird that some people from any group have a stupid idea? The average human is pretty stupid.

            … And the other 55%? The majority?

            And you’re taking a national ratio which is meaningless with a system like the electoral college.

            It’s still weird how some atheists think that only blithering idiots exist in religions.

            Look! We found one!

    You will be able to see the point of this comic as it flies over their heads.

      It flies over heads because its a political fiction that people don’t find consistent with reality.

      People like this go on dates, get laid, get married, get divorced, go on more dates, and get married again all the time.

      Their spouses vote Republican. Their kids vote Republican. Their friends and neighbors vote Republican. They all move to big conservative retirement communities and vote Republican together forever until they die.

      This idea that rich fucks with big families don’t live happily in their big homes all prattling on about how much better they are than everyone else is painfully naive

    More political opinions in the comic form please. This is exactly why I subscribed to this community.

    Is this drawn by the same people who drew the Clerks animated series on ABC like 25 years ago? Damn show only aired 2 episodes, but eventually released all 6 produced episodes on dvd later.

    And, even though the animated show was in color, this comic is in true clerks style…black and white.

    But, to be fair, Dante would NEVER vote for trump, Randal wouldn’t vote, and Jay & Silent Bob would have just been in jail by 2024.
