Comic Strips

This comic would have been perfect if the guy's hat just had MAGA on it, easier to get the message across

Damn… I’m going to keep “not a fault, it’s a failure” in my back pocket. I’ve never heard it put that way when discussing a screw up that wasn’t really someone’s fault (in this case Biden, but could be Dems or even situations not politics related)

I feel being critical without blaming unfairly is a huge part of my personality, and so this type of convo actually comes up kinda frequently in my life, since so many people struggle to see gray areas between right and wrong, at fault and not at fault.

But what you said is a perfect way to better ensure that the meaning doesn’t get lost to blaming, after which the conversation is usually a lost cause.

I blame the robbers for robbing my house and the police for not doing their jobs. I don't blame the police for robbing my house.

They are, until it happens to effect them directly.

"He was supposed to get rid of all the slackers and cut off people abusing the system, not fire my entire department!"

"He was supposed to put in tariffs to make China pay more, not to make the price of our goods go up!"

Classic leopards eating peoples faces party behaviour.

Not a wuss just “conservative”…

Just “conservative” enough for this…

He clearly bottoms for dictators, though

I don't think the victim here is a leftist. Trucker hat, rolled up sleeves; he's a working class conservative who's getting hammered by Trumps policies. He is still blaming Biden against all evidence.

If incompetency was prosecutable, every single ranking member of Biden's DOJ would be eligible for indictment.

From Tulsi Gabbard to Devin Nunes to Jared Kushner to Steven Miller, then number of Trump '16 era crooks who didn't get prosecuted when Biden had the chance could fill an entire Presidential cabinet.

Biden enabled Trump by not stacking courts, not prosecuting trump hard enough, or choosing policy positions based on what would beat trump.

I'm reminded of those 2-pt font "This is what Biden has done, you stupid leftists!" infographics that included dozens of citations of investigations and probes and FBI raids and committees and executive orders and threats to indict which amounted to... nothing! Biden's DOJ couldn't even be bothered to pursue a full prosecution. He left that to Alvin Bragg and a New York County Court.

If Dems wanted a prosecutor who was tough on crime at the top of the ticket, maybe they should have coronated him instead of Harris.

This isn't about leftists. The guy is dressed like a farmer, who majority voted for Trump. Trump turned around and immediately cut subsidies that small business farmers rely on, so many are now struggling. The comic is saying that they will still blame Biden despite being screwed by Trump. This could also be viewed as shorthand for any trump voter.

In reality, we've seen many farmers now communicate that they regret voting for trump. Alittle too little too late, it seems. They aren't as dumb as the comic artist paints them in that sense, just unempathetic.

Yet people still decided who to vote for & who not to vote against. People still hold responsibility for their vote or failure to vote: they knew who Trump was. They'd seen his shit before.

Also, why do you think the guy in the trucker hat is a leftist?
