    This comic depicts four people who couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to anything for ten years.

    I have no sympathy.

      I mean you can exist in this world if you want to. It is more fun than the truth which is sad and boring.

      Most people really do care and have good intentions, but are too overworked and too uneducated to pull apart the propaganda that’s being pushed to them 24/7.

      The oligarchs didn’t win when Trump got elected the second time. The won when they got control over the media. That was a while back.

      Stupidity and ignorance are way too widespread. It should not take a genius to figure out that trump and the GOP are pretty much against the working class. I’m not saying democrats are saints, but at least Biden tried to cancel student loan debt, and somehow that got looked at negatively??!?

    Are you sure? I checked around and couldn’t find much about this. Cable and broadcast news don’t seem to be reporting it, and none of the major newspapers. It’s not supported by X or Facebook either. I don’t see a lot of books about it on my Kindle. I mean, that’s quite a conspiracy theory you’ve got going there. For it to work, a small group of people would have to somehow hold over half the wealth of America and use it to elect politicians with so few scruples that they’ll appoint anyone to powerful offices. Even that is assuming they could somehow pack courts with compliant judges who are willing to declare that corporations are people and money is speech. Next, you’ll be telling me that a median salary is unlikely without a degree that costs almost as much as a new car, but that it doesn’t matter anyway because a median salary can’t support a family in the same standard of living they were born into. I can’t imagine people would tolerate this kind of thing. We’d have to be living in some kind of dystopian, authoritarian plutocracy like a bad 1970s sci-fi.

    I thought characters in webcomics were more politically aware, but I guess they are just 2 dimensional.

    Hungary didn’t crack down on education? Our scores are still competitiv-ishly high in Europe! Our teachers are unfortunately paid in animal crackers though, like most important jobs! The teacher, doctor, bus driver scarcity is just more apparent than some others

    In our system Viktor Orban have bought the media with stolen public funds! And the opposition parties and much of our economy…

    USians are so racist you have to explain bad things using the words “Russian” and “Iranian” next to them. Like, you have Fox news already for half a century don’t you? What do you mean “Russian style disinformation”? You guys invented it before the Russian Federation existed lmao

        The US has only had 1 president who wasn’t Christian and that was Thomas Jefferson who thought the Bible had been adopted by to many political ideologies that tainted the better moral frameworks.

        Every president after has been directly and only Christian. No Jewish, no Buddhists, no separation of church and state ever allowed.

        Not that i lile swearing on the bible, but considering this anywhere close to “our Law is based on the sharia, thats why a woman’s testimony is legally just half as useful as a man’s” is kinda dimb.

      At the end of the day, they’re still pathetic amerikkkan exceptionalists who think “we are better than this.”

      We are not better than this, and we never have been.

      Fucking pieces of shit got us where we are with their ignorance.

      I vote for “Ivanktober” because that’s the creepiest of their familial relationships I can think of off hand. It’ll really augment the spooky vibe of the season.

    I hope these fuckers are happy now. They got what they wanted. Or just ignored the problem and now that it’s not going away they’ve finally realized that maybe they should have voted differently. Or at all.

    I hope y’all bastards suffer.

      If you think they’re rethinking their choices, or are even aware of any of the problems, you are a god damn child. They live in a bubble and think things are better than ever.

      But Americans who voted for Kamala will suffer too, unfortunately. I don’t understand, why if people voted for Trump, the country just after that gone authoritarian, downhill. It could be prevented with strong rule of law.

    I’m not at all ready for it, but I’ve been acutely aware it was coming since the night of Nov. 6th.

      I mean most of us were acutely aware of it since November of 2016 and perhaps even before, but yeah. So far the awareness seems to be more of a punishment because we can see the train wrecks coming but can’t seem to convince the drivers of the car we’re in to actually stop parking on the tracks.

      Perhaps blissful ignorance may save our mental state.

        I avoid news a lot more than I used to because all it does is cause distress about things I have no control over. In his first term I at least had the hope that the shaky guardrails were there to keep him from going too far, but those are gone now and I’m fully aware I live in a country under a fascist regime with no opposition from anyone with the power to do something about it.

        By the way, there were sanctions against Russia in 2014 because of occupation of Crimea, and that gangster fascist state significantly started to use psy-op techniques and weponizing of corruption against Western countries.

        But people still should have personal responsibility, anyway.

    It’s like Americans lost their national identity or something. They literally act like Russians, judging by the comic.
