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."

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!

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.

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 ~~rec~~depression 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?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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.

Even though he didn't.

Basically the covid insanity in a nutshell. "the vaccine and masks will kill you", contracts covid and dies.
