I’m so glad they are following the rules on dress code. Where would we be if a government department with the power to destroy lives ignored the rules?

It’s like trying to reclaim the red cap though, it’s almost too far gone at this point. There was a period where people were wearing ironic red caps with anti-trump slogans on them as a way to take some of the power out of the symbol.

It only ended up causing stress to people who didn’t want to wait to find out if the hat-wearer was going to call them a slur.

If I saw a loud crowd marching down the street brandishing American flags, I would also not want to hang around to find out if they are fascists or not.

I also feel like flying the flag of the oppressive fascists government that is trying to deport and kill your friends and family sends the wrong message.

Sure, there is the idea of reclaiming the symbol of the flag, but on short notice, a march that is against the deportation of Mexican immigrants probably doesn’t call for the US flag.

I’m sorry, let’s all be quiet about the murders happening at peaceful protests; the man who is attempting to install himself as god-king of the western world; the knee that this god-king is bending to Russia; and all the human rights violations occurring daily across the country so that you can keep living in your whack country in peace.

A person doesn’t need to have an answer to a systemic clusterfuck in order to call it out, and calling it out reminds us that none of this is normal. If we stop calling the US whack, then people start accepting the whack-ness as the new normal.

I read the comic as metaphorical for the state of the world in general, not a literal attack on low-income, undereducated individuals.

We fought the nazis less than 100 years ago. We lost loved ones in the fight against tyranny. We brought that victory, and that trauma, home with us. But in the decades since, the number of people who lived and fought in those times is dwindling. All that we are left with today are the symbols of that time. Yes, there are plenty of us that know the history, that have heard the stories. But there are also plenty of us that have only seen the sleek, manicured projection of the ‘bad guys from Indiana Jones’ through the Hollywood lens. And some of that trauma has been passed down too.

I feel like this comic is more about forgetting our own history.

As if the next step in the plan isn’t reinstating “state’s rights”…

“Please share what you would do differently”

Violent revolution.

Did I stutter?

When the fascists try to take people in your community, respond to their threats of violence with your own. When heads of government declare that your neighbours need to be eradicated because of their mere existence, you make that government’s life a living hell until they realise that they are not welcome in your country.

The government will respond with violence, because that’s what they call ‘Justice’, but by that point you should have a ‘well regulated militia’ if you believe in the value of your country and its constitution at all.

Fascists aren’t going to peacefully give back rights to their targets. What do you think they are suggesting? Violent revolution is the only action that has ever gotten shit done throughout history. It was a violent revolution that created America in the first place, but it is in the best interest of the winning side to pretend that their revolution was just, but any further revolution would be a step too far.

My friend, we all thought the country was smart enough not to vote Trump in back in 2016. Then we all thought they couldn’t be stupid or evil enough to do it again in 2024.

Wake up.

The same people who put Trump in power will crawl out of the woodwork in 2028, vote for his son and call it “continuing the legacy of the Great American Empire” or some unhinged shit. That is if his daddy hasn’t abolished term limits by that point.

What do you mean? Some of them wore pink to protest… Or blue and yellow ties in support of Ukraine… Or held up small signs… If that doesn’t save America, I don’t know what will!

Massive /s

I thought he was going to go after the people I don’t like, not me. Now that his presidency is actually hurting ME specifically I have regrets.

Cry harder idiot.

Oh, go away. The country is in the process of being slowly invaded by a US-Backed Russia, seeking to turn everything Ukraine into burning rubble with a Russian flag on top of it. And yet you want to start nitpicking the rallying cry for a country in crisis? Your article even throws doubt on your claims.

Why do Americans chant “USA! USA!” At sporting events? Seems a little nationalist to me.

Depends on your definition of improper. I’m going to hazard a guess that Elon’s definition includes healthcare for anyone who falls into the last letter of LGBT, and anyone who’s skin colour could not be compared to cow’s milk or freshly fallen snow.

Lawsuit, sure. But Lose? Have you been paying attention?

If the lawsuit isn’t thrown out by some rat-fuck judge, the result will have absolutely no impact on the current machinations of the diet-Nazis.

It’s going to take more than a stern talking to if you want to root out fascists.

It’s not a surprise, but if they act like it is, they can pretend that they’re just as shocked as we are when it happens! We’re all in this together! Ignore the fact that most policies that benefit the rich will benefit members of the DNC, so they have less of an incentive to actually DO anything.

Musky has his grubby hands in so many areas of tech that his individual views are no longer individual. He’s a major player in the space scene right now. His exploding cars are so invasive that some people I know refer to any EV as a ‘tesla’. He also has his hand so far up Trumps arsehole that he can tickle his tonsils from behind. I think it might be important to know if this guy has dangerous views on eugenics.

As a DM, once initiative is rolled, I do not keep track of player AC, or any number on their sheet for that matter. I have a vague idea of their hit points, but I have a lot more going on on this side of the screen. Remembering if the fighter is holding their shield, or if someone has some special modifier applied to them is taking up unnecessary bandwidth. So I can take a guess that 29 hits your AC, but I always want to make sure.

Better CEOs than the school children it’s been thus far.

Nothing will happen. I appreciate the optimism, but you’re kicking your acceptance further down the road. If they were actually going to hold the fucker to account, they’d have done more by now. At this point? Attempting to prosecute the president-elect just weeks before he steps into power to ‘save America’? That’s just giving the conspiracy nuts validation to start shooting.

He’s got you by the pussy I’m afraid.

In summary “continue to play by the rules of a system that is under the full control of fascists, and hope the world can hold out long enough to run another uninspired campaign helmed by an out of touch, centre-right millionaire”

Was hoping for something a little more inspiring…
