How can they be criminals if they have no trial?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

Because criminals don't deserve due process! My government told me so! I am very smart! Checkmate, libs!

VERY big /s

Because some people think that the police using their power against you makes you automatically wrong and evil. We call those people bootlickers.

Because habeas corpus applies only to those with sufficient privilege.

There should be a second sticker being covered under white that reads "rich".

Then why Trump fears going to court to prove his accusations? He declared them terrorists, so he can pursue deportations under INA, which entitles the deportees to a court hearing, yet he invoked a wartime 1798 law specifically to avoid having to prove his hypothesis.

This is just Trump and the Central Park 5 all over again. They're guilty because Trump feels they're guilty. The fact they're not actually guilty doesn't matter.

If you're against authoritarianism, you should demand a trial and not just some schmuck politician labeling you a criminal being enough to send you to your death in some foreign prison.

The fact that there's not a uproar from the don't tread on me crowds just reinforces the idea that they don't see these people as like them. If this was some redneck that was randomly pointed at and said he's a criminal and then deported to a foreign prison they would be upset. The fact that there aren't just shows you that they see these guys as "the other". And why do they see him as the other? That's the question this cartoon is trying to answer....

Pizzacake is such a shit comic.

I left reddit because it is far too common to see this dog shit comic on or near the front page

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Big pile of dog shit.

Something about this rubs me wrong, it it the artstyle?

Is it the preachiness?

Why do I cringe so?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

That's the normal pizzacake comic experience

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Cringe is so 2000 and late

Honestly, it's even worse than racism. It's just full on indiscriminate cruelty. I've seen people not caring even if they're white, just zero empathy and full-throated cheerleading. They just tell themselves "they're criminals" and don't want to accept the reality that's staring them in the face — probably because of the implication (that they've been downplaying MAGA's words and actions for so long while "alarmist leftists" were trying to warn them, making them complicit in the horrors of today).

This actually harms the movement, just like when people posts lists of african americans killed by police in traffic stops and in their homes but convienently excluded the 7 out of 10 such individuals who were white.

Yes, MAGA is racist, minorities are all at particularly higher risk, but the administration is also dangerous to those poor stupid white people.

Calling Trump supporters racist harms the movement? What movement are you talking about? The MAGA movement?
