They do know sabertooths went extinct at about the same time humans showed up right? Like there is significant probable cause that they went extinct because of competition/hunting from humans. So basically if we follow through on the logic, liberals should win this gun control fight by hunting conservatives to extinction. Would that constitute a good comic?

Or just a good idea.

Why would Chinese Nationals come through the Mexico border instead of just arriving on the west coast? I mean I know Branco is just being his usual horribly racist rear end in a top hat self, but I can't for the life of me understand the thought process here. People from China arrive on the west coast all the time, and if they want to be here illegally, they'll just overstay their visa.

That doesn't fit with the image they want to project about dusky hordes swarming the border in a literal invasion.

Yeah, they're usually set up and marketed to look like they're just a support and free care place like Planned Parenthood but its 100% evangelical and from the minute you enter the goal is to bully, cajole, and outright threaten women. These places are supported entirely by tax exempt churches when they arent defrauding taxpayers more directly.

Some actually good ones exist but usually are pretty loud and proud about not being chuds because they're outnumbered 100 to 1

Edit - and dont take it from me, Branco loves them, that should be enough right there

The real ones usually call themselves "maternity homes" and they have facilities to help pregnant women who are homeless or abused and need a safe place to carry to term.

It’s funny. Jim Davis is a really close friend to Mike Pence. The Garfield comics canonically take place in Idaho. Pence has a bunch of Garfield cartoons/birthday cards hand-drawn for him by Davis in his office. They probably believe a lot of the same things. But Davies is smart enough to keep his head down, count his money, and make sure that his product is as middle of the road bland as possible.

Glenn McCoy has been running a bland gag of the day strip for 30 years now without putting any chud crap in it.

The old gotcha of "homophobe/transphobe is phobic because they're secretly gay/trans" is overall negative because it's still painting being LGBT as something detrimental. People do not need to closeted to hate gay people, and poo poo like drawing Putin in drag is still making fun of LGBT people in the end.

It's not a gotcha or a "I bet he's really closeted and that's why he's hateful." That has nothing to do with it at all.

Pointing out the hypocrisy of people who have done drag banning drag shows is a valid point, but pointing out hypocrisy does very little to address the actual matter at hand.

It entirely addresses the matter at hand. The point, which is valid and germane, is exactly this:

Yeah it's a big contradiction, for 40 years they've been cutting welfare and justifying this by saying we need to discourage people from having kids they can't afford, it worked and now they're screaming about low birth rates.

Well I guess it's not necessarily a contradiction since they do have a "solution" in mind: ban birth control

There is zero contradiction. “Welfare people “ shouldn’t have kids but people with the phenotype drawn by Fishman need to have more kids.

And if Biden had done anything about this, they'd be screaming themselves hoarse about interventionism and why doesn't he do anything about these domestic problems?! It's the same poo poo they always do where they yell at you for doing anything, saying you're treating the symptoms and not the root cause, but they won't do anything about the root causes either! Or at least, anything that might actually work or isn't a solution that leads back to "give Republicans infinite power to enact cristofascism."
