Can we all stop pretending that airing dumb views in the public square will make them die out, because this has never loving happened. If it was possible to use logic and out-debate fascism, conspiracy theories, and prejudice, you'd think it would've happened by now.

According to right wingers, Biden once told some story about kids touching his blond leg hairs when he was a lifeguard or something. They bring it up a lot as evidence he's a pedophile.

I've never looked up exactly what he said or even if he said it but I'll be you that's what Varvel is referencing.

That ties into the rule of "if you're explaining, you're losing."
Claim you're being cancelled for loving Jesus, and keep doubling down on that while the opposition tries to explain that No, we don't have anything against Christianity, we're cancelling him because he literally shouted from the rooftops about how much he loves Hitler.

Labor won the New South Wales election on the weekend. On the left are outgoing Liberal premier Dominic Perrottet and treasurer Matt Kean, Peter Dutton and former NSW deputy leader John Barilaro of the Nationals. On the bus with Albanese is incoming Labor premier Chris Minns. The signpost to Tasmania is because that is the last standing Coalition government - all other states and territories are Labor.

The (now former) NSW treasurer Matt Kean was the most outspoken remaining member of the Liberal moderates so naturally the post-election analysis from News Corp is that this is the problem and the Liberals must become even more conservative.

I think it's a "Liberals don't know the exact definition of [something gun-related] so their opinion is completely invalid, do not listen to what they're saying" thing. I've seen ":rolleyes: it wasn't an ASSAULT rifle, lying liberal media" as the sole response to more than one mass shooting by this point. I'm depressed now.

Probably this. One of the number 1 pro-gun Gotcha Defenses when anyone talks about banning assault rifles is that ACK-SHOO-LEE, the AR-15 isn't an assault rifle. It's legally classified as a pencil sharpener. Do you libs really want to ban office supplies?

I was unironically this kind if person a decade back, and I think its more taking the piss out of the 'assault weapon' term, which means nothing for firearms (assault rifle has a definition, assault weapon could mean anything from a full auto AR15 to a switchblade) but that pro-control groups define as 'looks scary'.

But in this comics context... I got nothing. Is it that rocks need a label to make people scared of them so they can ban them? Is it that they thenselves are afraid of rocks? Do they think only assault rocks are dangerous but regular civilian rocks are fine (which more of a pro-gun argument) No idea.
