Asimo posted:I still maintain the entire anti-vax movement stems from people who are scared of needles due to having the emotional maturity of toddlers. That's it, that's the entire reason, everything else is just elaborate flimsy justification for their cowardice. Every goddamn anti-vax screed inevitably gives it away with some "and then they JAB YOU with the DEATH SYRINGE" style comment. The creepily weeping stuck children in garrison's comic is just the visual variant. I think there is a bit more to it than that, but from people who saw the list of chemicals used preserve vaccines had Mercury in it, and immediately assumed that the syringe was just mercury with other chemicals added in. At least, that always seems to be the other point they bring up in relation to vaccines.

...And then they came to impeach me, but they can't because I'm not an elected official so this metaphor doesn't work at all.

I'm not normally one to join in on the "gently caress Ted Rall" train but man does he deserve it. If he's going to go all in on blatant conservative talking points then the third panel might as well be Disney "impeaching" the Mandalorian actress; it'd make just as much sense.

Moon Slayer posted:Maybe I'm just too dumb and American to pick up the subtleties of these but for the life of me I can never figure out what these people are actually arguing for. The government is imposing arbitrary lockdown rules that don't help but they're also lifting them too fast and also people are overreacting to COVID? I know these are coming from different political stances but still. So you know that this is a sampling from across the political spectrum, but still you expect them to argue in a single voice. Why would you do that?

When Trump starts his own media conglomerate*, Todd Rool's gonna be its in-house editorial cartoonist, isn't he? *this will not happen, it'll end up being a pricey membership thing with zero perks and he'll stiff a bunch of people on pay before shutting it down

The Failing Trump Times (which I never gave permission to name) and its dishonest staffers are now trying to illegally sue me with the help of a biased foreign judge because they can't manage their finances. Sad, & very unfair. Editor Shapiro is a bitter loser. Strongly condemn!

Imagine not only writing this self-own but publishing it. No actual concrete policy criticisms, no better ideas, just admitting your politics start and end at "other sports team is on top and that's bad!"

If it’s a joke, that’s only because it’s indistinguishable from actual right wing rhetoric about how Republicans are being treated like Jews in Nazi Germany.

Ted Rall is also spreading straight up right wing lies in the first panel of his cartoon, implying Trump only wanted Ukraine to investigate corruption from Biden. He even wrote with "This is America, we don't investigate corruption!" which is a sign he believes Trump genuinely just wanted to end corruption in American politics, rather than what he actually did, which was attempt to use a foreign country to smear a political opponent for an election advantage. Rall is a piece of poo poo and I can't believe people are defending a cartoon which has a panel indistinguishable from the poo poo that Limbaugh and Hannity say. Or I should say, that Limbaugh used to say, because he's loving dead!

If Ramirez were a remotely competent cartoonist or caricaturist this could be an entirely passable cartoon. Keep the plane as is, Kong is an unlabelled Cuomo, and there is nothing written on the Empire State. It would just say the truth would take out Cuomo. Because as it is it looks like Cuomo is... climbing a big tower of nursing home deaths? And only truth can... knock him off?
