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.
Needs to end with “why didn’t you try harder to tell me to stop”
“I didn’t shoot for this”
PizzaCake is great
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.
They are the gun
That sounds about right.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.”
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
Crossposted to [email protected] a perfect fit lmao
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!”
The boat wasn’t sea worthy if a gun that small could sink it.
This comic would be a great point if I hadn’t spent the last several months watching Democratic voters celebrate the owning of the conservatives.
I am glad that this is lemmy. If it was reddit, that lady would come and litigate. Their comics sub and bonehurtingjuice was in a because of this pizzacake comic lady.
That was because she didn’t like the edits they were making to her comics. Whether or not the path she took was correct is for others to argue about, that’s just simply what happened.

Yeah… she’s the worst.
Oh look, another funny and original Pizzacake comic.
Oh look, another funny and original anti-Pizzacake comment.
I mean, there’s only so many ways to say something is terrible.
There’s just no humour in her content, and people post it purely because it aligns with their views.
This guy wants all political cartoons to be funny.
Do you often come across people posting things that don’t align with their views? Seems like you’ve managed to sum up basically everything on this site.
No, but usually there’s some humour in the content they post. With Pizzacake, there just isn’t any. It’s a statement with no punchline.
The joke is that this is reality.
There’s not a lot of humour in reality right now.
It’s sort of an ironic anti-humor, probably a defense mechanism 🤷♂️
Do you leave a sarcastic comment on everything you don’t find funny / original, or just Pizzacake comics?
It’s okay to just… not post if something isn’t up your alley.
There’s something in particular about their half assed art style and ham-fisted attempts at comedy that I find particularly annoying.
And then people lap it up, not because there’s any humour in their content, but because it aligns with their views.
Pizzacake is capable of communicating complex ideas using maybe four panels, minimal dialogue, and does not rely on cheap gimmicks.
They are one of the most talented cartoonists on the contemporary scene.
I understand their style isn’t your taste, but Pizzacake has earned every bit of praise & respect they get, not just because people are sheeple who like anything they agree with.
Do you genuinely think this is a complex idea being communicated?
And I’ve seen the same point made with just one panel, it’s not a new joke.
Is this the best comic PC has ever produced? No, I don’t think so.
But I’m trying to help you understand why they are so respected.
Oh, I get it, I said so in my first comment. People post them because her comics share their views, not because there is any humour in them.
Failing to understand that doing so here is like standing up in church and telling someone you’re a big fan of Jesus.
I get it, but PC deserves the respect.
There are LOTS of cartoonists out there I will happily tear into for being lazy &/or lame (I’m going to refrain), but not Pizzacake, they’re legit.
