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

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Division is created by choice. The left saw the same news, read the same lies and heard the same bullshit, but we did not became hateful and ignorant racist and mysoginist. The right isn't the right because the billionaire pushed them that way; they choose to be like that and used the billionairs lies as reason for it. They became that way because they wanted to be that way.
We tried for decades to work with them to make the world a better place for everybody. They don't give a shit. So why should we?
Fuck them and fuck the billionaires. The left is big enough to kill them both. We just have to do it. Cut the cancer out!
I have no idea why you think people inside a Fox News/Newsmax/etc. right ring media bubble are absorbing the same news. They very much are not. 10 minutes spent on either source, or many, many other right-wing sources and you will be in a different, and very much fictional, universe.
The point is, they are there of their own free will. They want to be lied to. They want to use it to justify their inherent hatred. They are not good people who have been seduced by evil. They are evil. Maybe not all of them but most. You can't talk with them, you can not convert them back to good.
Or maybe i'm just bitter and frustrated, who knows.
They are there after a lifetime of indoctrination in right-wing views. Do you think someone raised evangelical from birth is able to just shake that off? Not that many people escape.
"it's not that I have different experiences, it's that I'm inherently superior"
Great claim. Why are you generically superior then?
