It's the Day's Day of Days! Because why would you wear cleats to a store?
It's when you really dwell on this the awfulness sinks in. This is the fantasy of someone who has done no good and great ill, of himself as a superhero able to solve problems. Muir blames the government for his own inadequacies, while simultaneously negatively impacting its ability to solve or mediate problems. Any resulting failures are more evidence that the government doesn't work, and should be downgraded to allow individuals like him for freedom to act. And the courses of action Muir supports are arrogant fantasies at best--at worst hateful, racist arrogant fantasies. They are poorly thought out, frequently aimed at imaginary problems, and when aimed at actual problems transparently ineffectual to any critical observer.
That's what this strip is--a man who makes life more difficult for others screaming that if we just let him do what he wanted, everything would be better, even as he proposes actions that would make things even more difficult for other people.
