This reminds of something: In 249 BC the romans were battling Carthago, as tradition the romans offered some chickens some grains. If the chicken ate the grain the romans would win, if they refused the romans would lose. The chickens refused to eat. This annoyed the roman general Publius Claudius Pulcher who threw the chickens overboard while saying "Bibant, quoniam esse nolunt" ("Let them drink, since they don't wish to eat").

You can almost see the idea forming and then the cartoonist realizing that the swastika should be flipped and then him saying "gently caress it, let's do it anyway".

You could literally suggest a Holocaust on the Muslims and the only reason Kirschen would get angry is because you were comparing it to what the Nazis did. People like him believe that Jews are God's chosen people. The Holocaust was evil only because Jews were killed, and it is not wrong for Israelis to kill Palestinians because the land was given to the Jews by God and the Muslims are acting in his despite by living there.

I love that his supporters all played along that he was saying "big league" instead of "bigly"

You know who else thought it was a good idea to civilly engage with and appease fascists? That's right, Neville Chamberlain.

It's a perfect coining, though. The alt-right reads alt-media that feeds them alt-facts. There's a certain elegance to it.

I like the "hey plenty of non-Jewish whites died in the Holocaust too" fact pointed out here as though it defends resurgent nationalism.

So is there some weird pact where every single conservative cartoonist has to draw a "tolerant liberal beating a man with a picket sign" cartoon? I swear there's been at least 10 in the last few pages.

"Antifa Black Bloc slammed two fireworks into the campus, (Commander In) Chief. We was comin’ back from the city of San Francisco to Berkeley. We’d just delivered Milo. One of the good ones. Eleven hat wearing men went into the counterprotest. Our line went down in 12 minutes.

Didn’t see the first leftist for about a half-hour. Anarchist. 6-footer. You know how you know that in the streets Chief? You can tell by lookin’ from the hoody to the boots. What we didn’t know, was that our counterprotest was so secret, no distress tweet had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for 6 hours. Very first streetlight, Chief, leftists come cruisin’ by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calenders. Infantry squares like in the old calendars like the Battle of Bunker Hill and the idea was the leftist come to the nearest man, that man he starts trollin’ and posturin’ and sometimes that leftist he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away.

Sometimes that leftist looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a leftist is he’s got watery eyes. Weepy eyes. Like a baby’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be an adult… ’til he punches ya, and those watery eyes roll over commie red and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched virtue signalin’. The Overton Window closes up, and despite all your trollin’ and your posturin’ those leftists come in and… they tolerate you to pieces.

So much for the tolerant left.
