    I think the point of the cartoon is that some people genuinely are like this. They can’t see the human in front of them without classifying them politically and deciding based on those metrics whether they’re a good person or not. It’s just “you’re a liberal, and therefore I don’t have to care about you.”

    Then they’ll turn around and pretend to be a Christian or whatever.

      Honestly Leftists are like this moreso than conservatives. Not saying whether that’s wrong, but it’s true

    this is bullshit… they don’t care who they have to kill… in fact, they’re just waiting for someone to tell them who to start shooting at…

      I don’t, you’re right, and for that I am glad. My friends are reasonable people and that’s more than most can say.

      If you are around people like that, you seriously need to cut them out of your life temporarily so they don’t end up hurting you in the next few years, and I am being 100% serious about that. Everything the extremists are saying and doing mirrors what the German people did during the rise of Hitler in the 1930’s, and they can and will report your ass and have you sent off to a concentration camp by the end of the decade if you’re stupid enough to hang around trash like that.

      The family members who were like that back then were the worst, and it’s the same now.

      I would even go so far as to recommend LGBTQ+ folk who live amongst fascist types to not come out to them at all and to do everything possible to save money and move far away from them, and to sanctuary cities, before the shit hits the fan. And those turds are awfully close to the blades…

        I’m all for people staying safe and taking care of themselves, but the problem is moving makes the entire situation worse. Concentrating ourselves into small geographic areas inside cities is what allowed them to gerrymander the shit out of things and get the minority political party locked into outsized political influence.

        Every blue voter that leaves a rural area makes the divide worse. So I praise those who are brave enough to stay.

          Then get everyone in those cities to vote to become separate states. That way your vote not only counts for more but can’t be controlled by them anymore.
