Most of the cartoonists in here use "bad thing is okay for us to do if Democrats also do it" but Branco straight-up kicked it up to "the existence of bad things anywhere means we get to do them (or less-bad versions of them) too".

Ok so what's his problem with Trump then. When Trump was president he did some comics about how horrible it was that Trump's footsoldiers were rounding up immigrants but now he's okay with that and in fact demanding it soooo... why is Trump so bad? Rude tweets?

When Trump was president he did some comics about how horrible it was that Trump's footsoldiers were rounding up immigrants but now he's okay with that and in fact demanding it soooo... why is Trump so bad? Trump did it without the usual handwringing contrition and faux decorum. That's what most NeverTrumpers have an issue with: they don't mind what he did, they mind that he blew up their spot with the normies by saying the quiet part loud. To expand on this cus I was thinking about it while cleaning up my office: the euphemism game the right's been playing the last couple of decades had an unexpected benefit for some conservatives: as long as they didn't say the quiet part loud, as long as they pretended they cared about "keeping the border secure" instead of "I don't like brown people" or "I want to defend traditional marriage" instead of "Gay people creep me out", they could get into the cool parties and access to the cool parts of being in New York or LA: access to the best dinner parties, and they get to hang out with movie stars and go to the cool restaurants and the neat parties and maybe some of that weird sex they get to have. And all you have to do is maintain the kayfabe. The problem is that leaves a vacuum. There are people who don't get to meet the movie stars and go to the cool parties and have the weird sex but who hate browns and gays and all the other target-of-the-weeks you've been whipping up fear about. They have no investment in your kayfabe. They want to say the N-word, and they want to say it now. And then comes along a guy who's been an rear end at parties, but he's been quiet enough outside the group that nobody thought to reign him in who bought into the stories you've been telling the proles, and suddenly he gets popular cus he's saying the poo poo you all believe, but without the kayfabe. Suddenly, your whole side of the political argument is tied to him, and now what was a very comfortable game is now a delicate balancing act; you want the guy to advance your goals, but he's not playing the game the way he's supposed to.

First responders described what they saw when they went in to look for survivors and collect bodies. They're not IDF shills or political appointments or elected officials, they were people who have normal jobs doing the incredibly difficult work of mopping up atrocities. Even if the IDF leaned on them to outright make poo poo up, I doubt they would have buckled. Also we've got survivors describing what they saw.

I've never heard of any class actually incorporating Gender Queer into any lessons or anything. This whole anti-trans panic was set off just from the book being in a library in the first place iirc. And people have gone in once this whole poo poo started to see if it was even a popular book; in most cases, it had only been checked out a few times if at all. Of course, that hasn't stopped conservatives from portraying it as mandatory reading for 6th graders, with assignments like "change your pronouns" and "spit on the Bible" and "get top surgery (don't tell mom and dad!)" because we live in hell.

Yeah Gender Queer and books like it have never been part of class-mandated reading. Teachers have enough to deal with herding kids and trying to get some knowledge into their heads, they don't even have time to indoctrinate them into the "LGBTQ+ agenda" whatever that even is. (It seems to be basic empathy for other people)

I’ve read Gender Queer, and it’s just the author’s experience with their gender identity. Yes, it has some mild sex scenes, but it’s purely to explain how sex intertwines with their gender identity struggles. The style Kobabe uses is not really intended to titillate, so calling it pornographic either says a lot about how ignorant you are of porn or the weird poo poo you get off to. The right just knows few people are going to actually read it, so they show the one explicit page and act like third-graders when another kid says “sex.” The overarching goal is to deny kids the language and tools to understand gender and sexuality. If a kid can’t describe their attractions or gender identity, then some shithead parent or priest or something can try to process that in an unhealthy way. If other kids aren’t taught that gay and trans people exist deserve respect, then kids won’t always know how to engage with those people and are more likely to do what a lot of people do when confronted with something new and different: treat them with derision and fear. Both achieve the goal of preventing more gay people in the world, or at least making their lives miserable enough to keep it to themselves.

I am not cynical enough to say that this is an intended outcome (yet), but I absolutely believe "if they are aware of this, they do not care."

Kellies Nomination: Overall Worst It's just such a smooth blend of horseshit hackery. The mangled attempt at using Actually Popular characters as stand-ins for "undesirables", the big reach for the hypocrisy gotcha at the end, the overall blandness that permeates every pixel of a Prickly City comic. It's the flavorless gruel of thinly veiled racism.
