We can’t do anything about the boat sinking gun, or try and take it away from the boat sinker, because that would be against good decorum. Don’t worry though, we’ve thrown that guy who called the boat sinker a fuckhead off the boat. We have to take the high road and follow the rules or who knows what the boat sinker will do next. We’ll calmly convince them to lower the amount of holes they put in the boat while cmpromising by understanding that some of those holes were needed.
Vote for us, and we’ll only put a few holes in the boat
“I’m going to not vote in protest because I think they didn’t patch the previous holes fast enough! Better give the psychopath the gun again. Sinking everyone’s boat will surely send a message.”
It’s more like they’re talking about the oars while the poke holes in the most important part.
“Them oars are made of different wood than the boat.” they explain, as they toss them away leaving the boat dysfunctional.
What are you gonna do, vote for the guy who wants to put 10 holes in the boat? No, you have to vote for me, I will only put 9 more holes in the boat.
Don’t try to take away my gun or tell me to stop putting holes in the boat. What do you want Trump to win?
Exhibit B.
they didn’t patch the previous holes fast enough!
They didn’t patch the holes at all, which is why so many voted for the other party or opted not to miss a badly-needed day’s pay and didn’t vote at all. When you have the White House and Congress you have to appear to be trying to do what you actually promise to do.
Exhibit A!
It doesn’t take a whole day to vote.
The convenience to vote or lack thereof depends solely on your local and state jurisdictions. No blanket statements can be made.
Fine, it doesn’t take the vast majority of the population a whole day to vote.
That depends on where you live and how artificially inconvenient voting has been made on top of the complexities of one’s personal life to begin with.
But, more importantly, if you lived through the last eight years and you’re a wage earner, you know with certainty that voting doesn’t make any material change in your life, so you’re probably not going to miss out on a day’s pay in order to vote for people that you know definitively do not care if you or your family starve.
I’m a wage earner, elections effect my life. Votes effect election results.
Oh boy, wait until you hear about the blue areas of many red states. It’s intentional
do not worry, the boat sinker is just having an irrational tantrum right now. surely, after seeing us calmly reason things out, they’ll retrospect and see the error in their ways!
chef’s kiss
Damn you people who put Trump into presidency are so mad that we’re mad at you for putting Trump into the presidency. Accept the fact that part of the reason we’re in this situation is you letting the perfect be the enemy of the good and depressed voter turnout with your whining.
or… It could be the Democrats running terrible campaigns with terrible candidates, who ran on the coattails of a terrible president that put us in this situation.
What a heavy handed line that’s being pushed on Lemmy. And we’re not even near the election yet.
“Heavy handed line” AKA how the sane rest of the world sees US politics. You’re stuck in an endless game of good cop/bad cop and it’s so obvious to everyone else that we’re all flabbergasted at those who can’t see it. US propaganda is strong.
For some of us, Obama wasn’t that long ago.
I miss Obama.
We got the same economic impoverishment, endless money for cops and war (we were at war with 7 countries at once), civil liberties violations by cops, and he sprinkled in the kill list for flavor. It was inspiring watching Occupy and Ferguson protesters get the shit beaten out of them.
…and the speeches were glorious. The man had the balls to walk into Flint and tell the people there that the water was okay. Just indescribably awesome don’t-give-a-fuckedness.
/s
Appreciate you putting in the effort that I was unwilling to.
I’ve never fully understood the deification of Barack Obama, apart from him being the first black president.
He was and is a motherfucker, just one who is exceedingly well-spoken and intelligent, which makes his political choices all the more insidious.
Welp, since the 80s is been Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Trump, and Obama. Let’s just say it felt like a step in a direction.
Even highly intelligent people make mistakes and I prefer to believe he went into it with better intentions and capitulated too much to the powers that be and was eventually worn down.
Idk tho, hard to believe that is true with what he’s done since leaving the presidency, strong arming Biden in and mainly trying to get book/speaking/podcast deals.
Got some bad news about Obama
You’re doing the equivalent of seeing a bunch of prisoners in prison and thinking the fence is the only thing keeping them in. “They obviously must not see how flimsy the fence is if they haven’t torn it down yet.”
The most realistic part of this is the liberal just watching it happen and taking no steps to stop him or save the boat.
if he was a politician he wouldn’t say anything either.
Hold up a sign
yeah but gently; you don’t want to go against decorum
apart from organizing massive protests across entire country?
After they’ve started cutting holes in the boat.
I would love to hear a response to this from a thoughtful and respectful Trump supporter but I haven’t been able to find any of those.
Because to me it seems spot on but I wonder if I’m missing something.
I think the current line is that “we have to go through a
recdepression and then you’ll all see when it’s over what a great plan this was!”
Needs to end with “why didn’t you try harder to tell me to stop”
“I didn’t shoot for this”
What’s the democratic party leadership in this analogy? Are they suggesting we use a knife to cut holes in the boat instead of a gun?
damn i had a good microblog meme about this stored on my phone but i can’t find it now. i’ll try to replicate it from memory:
republicans: minorities are evil. their destroying our country and we must take their basic rights away.
democrats: (chuckles) *they’re
Pretty much
They sternly ask the bullets to slow down
That’s a little too much effort. Maybe in 2017. In 2025 if feels like they’re all trying to make sure there is a place for them as politicians within our new fascist regime. Not sure where that fits into the analogy. But it’s seriously how it feels.
The career democracts and “leaders” are staying in the background and gladly letting Bernie, AoC, etc be the inevitable political targets for the fascist. Later they can serve them up on a plate to offer to the fascist as a sacrifice.
That’s the only explanation I have for what we’re seeing from the democratic party.
Edit: Oh yeah and the absolute wet noodle that is Chuck Schumer. He makes a statement every once in awhile with the level of energy that Joe Biden’s rotting corpse would have.
You don’t have to get that deep into it. The DNC is the other guy on the boat; did nothing to try and stop the shooting, is doing nothing to stop the sinking, and is honestly so irrelevant to what’s happening that you can only see them in half the panels.
They are the gun
That sounds about right.
They’re also riding boats with fascists.

So many about dudebro influences all ‘‘I didn’t think he’d fuck ME in the ass!!!’’ Fucking assholes.
Hope they like being factory workers with no rights who die early of preventable illnesses.
'The last panel should read “at least the lib died first”
Even though he didn’t.
Basically the covid insanity in a nutshell. “the vaccine and masks will kill you”, contracts covid and dies.
PizzaCake is great
Except he conservatives cant swim
Why his pew-pew so small?
Yeah, that type of guy would definitely never allow anything to detract from his delicately crafted masculine image.
