Just putting this up to contrast with this post and because Eli Valley is a great political cartoonist.

    Trump is worse, of course, but you are getting mainly downvotes because this is basically true and there is no counterargument that doesn’t depend on the fact that American politics is broken. The comic isn’t totally right (e.g. project 2025 is not Biden’s plan) but it’s too close for comfort for some people.

    Think about the response if Trump was funding a genocide and protesters were being arrested, silenced and vilified under his watch. Every single comment section would be flooded with people explaining how this is a key pillar of fascism.

    But it’s all fine and people should grin and bear it because the bar is so fucking low you’re more likely to stub your toe on it than fail to clear it.
