Political Memes

They'll be "detained" in for profit prisons and then under the federal prisoner labor program they'll get paid 10 cents an hour to do the same work. The detention will end up becoming indefinite and private corps will reap the profits of modern-day slavery on a bigger scale than they already do from our (disproportionately) large incarcerated population.

It’s ok. Once DOGE kills the economy, everybody will be eager to trim trees and drive Uber and deliver DoorDash. Except there won’t be anyone able to pay them to do that.

He's a good hombre.

I mean the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish race. It’s one of those things it is easy to talk about, “the Jewish race is being exterminated,” says one party member, “that’s quite clear, it’s in our program, elimination of the Jews, and we’re doing it, exterminating them.” And then they come, 80 million worthy Germans, and each one has his decent Jew. Of course the others are vermin, but this one is an A-1 Jew.

"Mommy, why did we send Jesus to a concentration camp?"

They claim to love Jesus, so maybe they will spare him.

Of course Reagan meant [white] immigrants.

It's ridiculous how far right the USA has moved when it comes to immigration.

Agreed, and I think maybe we should remove the plaque from the Statue of Liberty as it clearly no longer applies.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Dems, Rebubs as individuals aren't really anything other than drones that follow orders on what to think and what to get angry about. It's a systemic issue where money is injected into the fringes to piss the other side off and force a defensive posture and eventually conflict from fear.

Every idea that categorizes into left/right needs to be challenged at this point.
The left will never prevail
The right will never prevail

We must recognize and respond to what is really happening.

As someone who has a lot of contact with the right, the conflating of illegal immigration with our past and present as a nation of immigrants is the point of the wedge and why this is so effective. Many conservatives I know are fully in support of legal immigration, and even expanding legal immigration as long as it is not done at the expense of existing Americans like with H1B slaves many tech companies want to import.

The left then paints them as racist for it, saying it is xenophobia and not support for rule of law and protections for vulnerable Americans. Many grew up taking a job cleaning bus station toilets and other jobs to make ends meet or get back on their feet that the left now says "Americans don't want", proving no actual jobs are lost. They, rightly or wrongly, see this as the lowest skilled Americans having jobs stolen from them, and see "Americans don't want these jobs" as "Americans don't want these jobs for that pay" pushing wages down using illegal immigrant labor.

The left enjoys telling business that if they can't afford to pay a living wage for their lowest paid jobs then they don't deserve to be in business, while at the same time decrying the cost increases to food and janitorial if those industries had to pay non-migrant workers enough to do those jobs. It is an easily exploitable hypocrisy that even allowed Brexit to happen.

It allows the Fox News crowd to be swindled more easily, and it allows actual racists to get away with more because the conservative masses can't hear the dog whistles, which is the point of dog whistles.

See, your problem is thinking they are humans. You should be treating them like immigrants instead.

The artist obviously haven't used a chainsaw. That guy is about to get a face full of knocked backed chainsaw, let's hope the brake works.

Edit: I just noticed how his feet are positioned. WTF? both feet flat on the ground! Is he walking beneath the branch he's cutting? Gah!

It's not any more strange than literally any republican voting to shoot themselves in the foot. Nobody benefits from it. Not even the rich! It just feeds their money addiction like a drug dealer feeds a junkie.

Yup. But just remember that everyone, possibly including the native nations are all immigrants. Now the native nations were here first so obviously they should call the shots.

No. The reason he won was because of apathy and despair.

If "Did Not Vote" was a candidate in 2024:

I think the bigger reason Trump won is a bunch of people didn't feel like it was worth voting. And now they will find out why that was a bad move.

Definetly no cheating...

The sequel is called "All year round with slaves".

What about that comic implies any of that you nut job?

I mean, I'm in a Florida neighborhood with a lot of retirees where this is not a parody at all.

You are right about manicured lawns being a colossal waste, but all the Republicans around here sure seem to love it, even with the swampy climate doing its absolute best to turn it wild again.

Big houses and lawns make people miserable when they have to care for it themselves, assuming they are physically capable of doing that at all. Frankly people need to stop hoarding so much junk and being so OCD, but Trump's immigration policy does little to solve that and Harris wasn't going to move the needle much either.

In other words, HOAs and culture may real villains in this comic, but you are falsely associating them with harris suburbanites.

The people in that comic don't look like bumpkins and they don't look like they're in the country either.

I don't see how this follows from the comic.. which was one single panel, by the way. It's okay if it made you feel uncomfortable.
