The delay sure made this into a brilliant AGC.

I had completely forgotten the incident with the giant clusterfuck of late, and thus, I didn't recognize the context. And read it without one and found myself stunned by the self-awareness.

I'm confused as to how you could think that's my argument? As far as I know, no one's made that argument.

Well what is your argument then?

You were claiming that there are millions of gay-bashing, woman-hating, climate change-denying backwards fuckwits who were ethnically cleansed. So when, where, and by whom were they ethnically cleansed? Additionally how does their victimhood give them any right to be gay-bashing, woman-hating, climate change-denying backwards fuckwits?

I really don't want to dive any further into this argument than I already have, but for clarity's sake the thesis seems to be that Stalin was the one who ethnically cleansed them; it wasn't a pro-Nazi argument but an anti-Stalin one in response to someone posting a pro-USSR image earlier

Glorifying Stalin for "stomping backwards fuckwits", as was being done upthread, is really pretty hosed up. I wasn't aware that that was controversial.

I really can't stand the art style of This Modern World, it's just so aggressively dull.

Like I get that it's meant to ape the original style it had with the 50's comic cutouts or whatever, but it still generally feels way too stiff and lifeless.

Melania caricatures are interesting because she looks as flawless as you'd expect a model and trophy wife to look, making any exaggerated features feel forced and detract from the resemblence. I think that's kind of unprecedented in political cartoons. I wonder what will eventually become shorthand for her face? Pinched, angular features?

A little late on this one, but it's too bad that "'Who got the most touchdowns' or 'which team had the most points at the end of the game' I think is a faulty metric and not what the average American cares about when making sports victory decisions" is too wordy to fit in a word bubble coming out of a little corner Tom Price.

In any case, cheering on one authoritarian, mass-murdering shithead because he waged a war on another authoritarian, mass-murdering shithead doesn't make much sense to me.

Edit: Since I'm really getting tired of participating in this derail, I just hope that someone makes some comics out of Donald Trump's National Day of Patriotic Devotion. I know it's possibly the least impactful of the things which he will do, but it's certainly one of the most creepily dictator-y on a symbolic level.

Probably because literal Nazis and white supremacists are in key government positions in the united states right now you mouth breather.

My brother went from a Lefty, to "We must LISTEN to the enemy!! THAT'S why Trump won!!" idiot after the election, to unironically sharing pro-Trump anti-poor memes. He's just loving lost it and I'm so very worried about him. It's like my brother decided "if you can't beat them, join them" was the only option, he insists he's not right wing, he's just holding the rightwing and leftwing to the same standards which, apparently, means cheering everything the right does while booing everything the left does, He said all the same poo poo the Nazi apologists have been for the last 5 pages, "But what if it wasn't a Nazi???" "Then...it wouldn't have been ok...I mean...he's a Nazi..." "But what if it WASN'T????" "Then it wouldn't be ok? Cause then it wouldn't be a Nazi?" "But it's ok if it IS a Nazi???" "Yeah...they're Nazis..." "But what if it WASN'T a Nazi????" etc etc etc Like every single thing in life ever is unquestionably a slippery slope instead of, you know, starting and ending at loving Nazis.
