Remember, "every accusation from the right is a confession."
If they are accusing Biden of cheating in 2020 it means they definitely cheated in 2016, they tried to cheat in 2020, and they plan to cheat some more in 2024.

Remember, even when Trump won in 2016, they still said the Democrats cheated. Trump claimed he won the popular vote with margins so massive they overcame the fraudulent votes. It's taken as a truism that the GOP wins every fair election, that's why they are always screaming about their "silent majority."

This is just the funniest, most kindergarten tier possible understanding of cheating. Like Dems just threw in 1,000,000 extra votes and called it a day. They didn't head off the final read or convert votes or any number of ways a win could be ensured. They didn't even do "whatever you say +1", which is bush league. They just made a flat, baseline addition and figured that should be enough, so if enough people just vote, you can beat it anyway.
Worst way to rig an election I've ever heard of.

Well clearly every single police department in the country has to be complicit in this because there definitely wouldn't be tons of small town racist sheriffs partying hard for the next month if that poo poo really happened

They have to square the circle of: Democrats cheat in every election but also it's important that you go out and vote Republican anyway.

My favorite kindergarten moment was Trump getting mad that votes were being counted late into the night, as if the moment the clock strikes midnight everyone has to stop counting and you just go with whoever has more at that point.

Hey, speaking of things that are ugly and exhausting, it's time once again for





I mean, I'm pretty okay with this. Those pimp hat robot enforcers (again, the phrases this comic obligates me to type) are annoying.



Why, of all the loving things, would you have a robot use an eye scanner? It's a robot! It's probably able to communicate wirelessly with the security system! In fact, it definitely is! This is stupid and not even in a political way!



I want you to look at panel 3 there and keep that in mind for later, because it's dumb. The hats shot at her. Why is she moving backward? Was she hit? Is she dodging? If she's dodging, why does she look like the movement was involuntary? This is the sort of thing they'd do on Saturday cartoons to keep the action ambiguous, and it makes no sense for Tatsuya to do it here.



Good thing he saw that convenient advertisement! However it was that he saw it, because that is not well-established. (It's probably in the window he's looking at in panel 1, but you would want a smaller version of the ad to be visible in that window if you wanted to sell that.)



Now, see, panel 4 is what panel 3 up there should have been. It is very clear what's happening. In fact, this whole strip is pretty decent; you can generally see who is where, you get an idea of the stakes, the action happens, it concludes on a bit of a cliffhanger. This is actually like a C+/B- kind of situation.



It seems like the boss has turned away from the dying/dead zombieish prostitute to look at a monitor. But actually, this is a different character that is just dressed exactly the same way, who is communicating with the boss. (Note the missing cane.) Probably you should lose the third panel and devote one panel to sticking with the action instead to make this clear but also to keep the connection to the actual plot. Yes, there's no explicitly political content this week, so I'm just nitpicking the comic's construction.



This one actually isn't bad either! He's really pulling out of stops to resolve this plotline by... wait, what? It's December 31st already? drat it, Tatsuya.

It looks like she's just been caught by a particularly strong wind gust but still managing to stay in one place. While the shots fire around her. Those hats can't aim for poo poo.

There was a different pimp before. This one was the Woke Pimp.

I’m assuming we’ll get a Trans Pimp or something similarly stupid, rendering this comic pointless like all the rest. Unless the pink girl stays dead and we’re spared at least one obnoxious character in 2024.

He could wrap this up in one more week, if he chose to. Which means that all he had to do to make it fit in was drop one week of strips about the Jews controlling the world through money and pedophilia.
