Sometimes the denial of reality just gets to be too much for me. I mean you don't like Obamacare, fine, I admit it has problems. But how you can sit there and legitimately try to make it look like the Republican plan is an example of Republicans being staunch and sober conservatives in the face of Democratic recklessness is just beyond me. Millions of people will lose health insurance. A number of those people will die as a direct result. This is literally what the plan will do.

Stantis has been doing this "Everything is terrible cause Trump but I won't go into details" for five months now. Like, do something or end your comic dude; this is more repetitive than Tinsley.

TapTheForwardAssist posted:

I'm seriously wondering if he's having emotional/mental issues or severe writers block.

I think there's a couple things here:

1) He's really suffering from the three week lag to publish. Anything he says now will probably be totally forgoten by the time this hits print.
2) Most of his audience who were shocked and appalled were only that way until Trump won. Nobody left of center likes him, and now he's tap dancing around his hatred of Trump and hoping that he has some big redeeming moment. Or someone on the left does something wrong or be obstructionist and he can seize on that for weeks.

So yeah, I don't think writers block as "afraid to say anything or else he'll get death threats or be proven wrong by the time it goes to print".

Like I really can't imagine being so deluded that if there was a Democratic version of Trump that did nothing but gently caress up and insult everyone while being an obvious mess I would be "no actually this is totally awesome" like all these supposedly Reasonable and Serious Republican pundits and cartoonists are saying. Adults in the room indeed.

I dunno. Try imagining a Democratic Trump that's giving left-wingers everything they want in their wildest dreams - UHC, a citizen's wage, very left-wing judges on the Supreme court. But he's also a loving loon that tweets crazy stuff regularly, seems deranged enough to worry that he has access to nuclear codes, and also seems to be in the pocket of Venezuela. Would you be all "Impeach now!" or "I dunno, nothing is proven yet and his plans are very good. Sure, he's eccentric. But Universal Health Care!"?

I think Stantis had basically hitched to the idea that Hillary's win was inevitable, and was ready to start doing a bunch of predictable "MINIONZ" comics with Hunny Bunny basically being DASGDC. Since Trump won, he's lost his major arc and can't quite adjust. Seriously, we haven't seen any major character since the election as far as I can tell. Except maybe Skunk Trump.

The explanation, while chunky, at least addresses the WHY of what is essentially a mirror of Ramirez's "DON'T TURN LEFT!" comics.
Ramirez on the other hand, despite labeling everything, makes no attempt to explain why we have to keep turning right. At least Fish says "yeah because we won't want torture, bigotry, and science-rejection to become the new norm, and public acceptance of those things is growing". It's hardly a subtle cartoon but it at least tries to back its claims.

The difference is that Trump isn't actually giving them half of what he's claiming so I would have to THINK Insane Democratic President's giving me UHC and a citizen's wage when in actuality he's not. Even his dumbass racist poo poo isn't working as well as it could since he and his crew were too incompetent not to tip their hands. Also it's not like he wouldn't be replaced with a Democratic VP that is probably pretty close ideologically.

Also yeah I would still be pretty worried about the nukes.

Wrightson published his Frankenstein in 1983 (after seven years of work!) and started his professional career around 1966, so about 17 years.

I think Ramirez is acknowledging that. Both boats are headed over the waterfall. He's just trying to zing Democrats by saying, "You can't criticize Republicans when your plan is also made of carbon!"

But it doesn't really capture the reality that the Republicans want to drag more people over the falls with them.
