I honestly believe Stephan Pastis is a better and more insightful satirist than anything you would see on (for example) The Daily Show.

I think you are ignoring the message at the end of this comic about why they have supporters.

yes. from birth to death, americans are force-fed a steady diet of lies, distractions, american exceptionalism--on top of the guilt, fear, and shame pounded into their skulls by religion

i work at an academic library. not only are kids woefully unprepared for higher education, but they are coming into the world without even a grasp of how to think critically about the information they're being presented with, let alone why

the comic is correct, for sure, but my point stands
