The bar is set so low that even basic human dignity is a worthy enough of hero worship in conservative circles. A Good Cartoon.

Actually he's just an rear end in a top hat that happened to do a decent thing for once.

He only saved that one group though. That was enough for heroship forever for the right. He then shot someone that he thought was Mexican three weeks later.

The only way things can be balanced is to have both parties toeing the line. This analogy sucks because by nature the left can't go any more to the left either. In fact both parties would still be in harmony if both birds were on the far ends. It's cute on the surface, sure. But it breaks down really fast when you think about it. It is a bad analogy and I can't handle it.

Have any of those lawmakers, like Cruz, been asked about their prior votes and what changed their minds? Probably a bad question to ask during an emergency?

The justification they gave at the time was "the aid package for Sandy was loaded with lots of unrelated, unnecessary spending, and that's what I voted against." Of course, said "unrelated spending" was for infrastructure improvements and climate science which could help to mitigate the impact of future hurricanes but they don't mention that part.

itskage posted:Here this should make some more sense: The metaphor still holds up in the original, though, because the conclusion is either: 1. That Right Bird should return to a semblance of sanity or 2. That in response, Left Bird should push harder and commit to more outspoken, radical structural changes to fix the system that Right Bird threw out of balance. The "socialist" accusation, in my reading, isn't even necessarily meant to imply that's a totally bad thing, just underline that acknowledging facts is now considered "socialist" to half of the country, regardless of what actual leftward movement has taken place on the part of politicians..

A Trump voter not being an rear end in a top hat in literally every aspect of his life is unusual and worthy of comment. AGC.

Is this even a real guy? I can't find anything with Google about Jim the Trump-loving redneck with the Cajun Navy.

Mister Olympus posted:The metaphor still holds up in the original, though, because the conclusion is either: It isn't even a loving metaphor, it's a visual representation. The political left has moved ever closer to the centre. The right responded by moving ever further right. Now the whole system is at risk of toppling off to the right, and anyone who moves even slightly to the left is condemned as a socialist.

While I'm sure no Australians in this thread are happy to see Tony Abbott at all, ever, I am sure glad to see Pope's hilarious depiction of him again.
