If he's so pro America, where are the good jobs for America? Where's the prosperity business racist is supposed to bring about by now? Why is he importing more indentured immigrants?

Ramirez lives in Californnia. Try living in a midwest state that goes years without being able to afford to keep the potholes filled on main city roads.

I'm kind of nonplussed here at the specific things Mike Lester seems to think are embarrassing America on the world stage

like, does he think people in like Germany or India are going "can you believe there are Americans that actually oppose fascism, lol"

Kap: I'm silently protesting police brutality in this country.
Lester: This video on Facebook showing five black people stealing from a Foot Locker means that we never should've had Reconstruction.

Clearly Kap is the nutso here.

Who was it that predicted this a few pages back? I realize it was kind of obvious that is where the narrative was heading but I honestly didn't think it would happen so fast. Maybe we should start taking bets on how many days it will take for next bullshit narrative excusing/distracting from the Right's own failures/embarrassments to compete its evolution.

It couldn't possibly be my blind support of supply-side economic political policies that have undermined my negotiating power, suppressed my wages, and outsourced my jobs! No, clearly we need more of those because they stick it to the real villains, people that look and live differently than me." -Landlockistanian McStrawman

They are extremely resilient and would probably survive a nuclear war. Trump just thinks he can.

The dog in the third panel lacks the distinctive fur pattern; it's clearly an entirely different dog. Also what's with the hat. It lacks a label so I am confused.

Horseshoe theory?
"Depraved lifestyle" is an attack on LGBT people because that's what the religious right does, but taken out of context it could be interpreted as reiterating the environmental argument on the other billboard.
