His Misogyny Will Protect Him.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ultraseven.

As we get another heaping helping of big-brained sexism, I note that the begging bowl is out a bit early this year.

I'm not shocked.

At Least The USSR Were Manly Commies, He Says!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ultraman.

And a demonstration of Muir's utter misogyny and his utter ignorance of what communism entails, at the same time.

Also, the extent to which the fictional relationships in this strip all now wave prominent red flags is... well, very much a thing.

A Reminder That They Are Both Foreign Nationals.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because UltraQ.

My guess is that Muir's crazy Panel 1 Proclamation involves the Democrats voting to include non-citizen immigrants in the count for House Seats. Which is just how that works, and which discontinuing would not in fact advantage red states the way he imagines.

A Single Lifeless Panel To Make A Dull Attempt At A Point.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the leader of the Yokai.

As usual, Muir's libertarian shell hides a Nazi point... we need to purge the insidious parasites who are controlling our mighty volk.

It's so ironic he has the nominally Jewish character saying this.

"I Am So Clever, To Desert My Country In Its Hour Of Need Because A Bunch Of Rednecks Tell Me To!"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because ooo-eee-ooo.

It's fascinating how Muir's impulsive decision to turn Russian Guyovitch into a Ukrainian has wound up making him so utterly loathsome. And how much Muir has wound up just like the WWII homegrown-fascists who kept insisting that they knew the real score and how if only we'd listened to them, we could have avoided shedding all that blood beating the Nazis.

This Is Totally A Thing That Is Happening!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Telegram Sam.

...

Again, remember that they've been running a secessionist county for over a year now, which was presented as doing stuff just like this. But that was okay, because it was Redneckistan doing it to the dirty liberals, not the dirty liberals doing it to them.

The Stupidity Is Kind Of Awe-Inspiring.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Frank Sinatra.

...

So not only does he not realize quite the extent to which he's flipped the cartoon's original meaning, he doesn't realize that he hasn't actually changed it enough, so that the drawing suggests the opposite of what he has the caption say.

That tracks.

Wickedness The Highest Good, Falsehood The Highest Truth, And Treason The Highest Loyalty.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Quest of the Avatar.

You know, as simple and awful as this strip is, there's a lot to unpack here, from Muir's obsessing with an imaginary problem, and his poo-pooing the hateful law that has been passed to counteract this again, imaginary problem as inefficient thanks to Democratic treachery through Medicaid. All of which means the only real answer is to secede, because committing treason is the only patriotic thing you can do, and of course it will work, because your opponents are weak and awful.

Hmm, let's see if I still have that on standby...

Yep. Evergreen.

She's Their Lovable Dictator.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because from the Land of Light.

You know, beneath the screaming about how the Republicans are all traitors because they don't burn everything down is an interesting admission. For all he tries to frame it as an "ain't she cute?" joke, it's clear on some level Muir recognizes that Sam's de facto fascist dictatorship over a single county is a bloodthirsty idiotic mess that wouldn't appeal to people, no matter how much he yelps that this is how things should be.

Muir Does All The Racisms And Naziisms Combined.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Pretzel Baconator.

Combining his 'youse da real racists' with an extra dose of racism AND his America Firster 'it's corrupt to support foreign nations facing invasion from fascists', with just a dose of anti-semitism.

He's so oblivious to his own awfulness it's painful.

Hur Hur. Dey Not Real Muricans.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Indoor Football League.

Because Muir's turning on Israel doesn't mean he supports protesting their actions. After all, that's being done by non-rednecks, and is thus evil.

Imagine A Fascist Government. It's Easy If You Try.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because don't be shy.

...

It's the bits like Muir imagining ethnic cleansing and a holiday for a failed coup attempt, and then vowing "Nuremberg 2.0" for the people who worked on the covid vaccine that get you. He's a Nazi. But he somehow thinks he's not, and that other people are.

The Projection Continues Apace.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because ride a white swan.

And once again, Muir asserts that everyone else is an enemy of the state in the service of foreign powers.

Which excuses his cast being exactly that at this point.

"Man, It's Just Like It Says In 'The Protocols'!"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because keep on the sunny side, the sunny side.

...

This is as much a highlight of Muir's utter pliability as his awfulness--this is the argument going on in those spaces, and Muir has swallowed it whole, because, well, that's what he is now.

The Joys Of Ethnic Cleansing.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because chili.

Muir thinks these are the good guys and that they're being witty. He really does.

Yes, This Is Why Muir Doesn't Get Everything He Wants, All The Time, Always.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Made in Muscle Shoals.

As we watch Muir once again declare that this time his crazy conspiracy theory pushed by online rumormongers will pan out, a reminder that Zed and company are literally traitors acting collusion with foreign nations.

But somehow, that doesn't count.
