The Volk Know Their Vulgar Ways Mark Them As Superior!

  It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Tokusou Robo Janperson.

There's two fascinating little quirks of modern DbD here. The first is the deep paranoid style, part of the world where boilerplate declarations of intent from UN member nations are in fact insidious plots to undermine from within. The second is something I've noted multiple times, Muir treating being an arrogant rural blowhard who broadcasts their ignorance as the sign of their superiority. This is what Muir thinks is the great American culture that needs to be not only protected, but in charge of the nation--a sneering, idiotic cynicism that broadcasts that it not only doesn't know what the hell anyone else is talking about, but it doesn't care.

Chris Muir Complaining About Word Salad. Of Course He Is.

  It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Special Rescue Solbrain.

There's something about the way Zed and Sam sit there, beers in hand, as if trying to underline that they are the proud redneck elite who sneer at those decadent blue-staters.

It Is Fascist Tyranny To Oppose Our Fascist Tyranny!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Special Rescue Police Winspector.

"They do not understand, Mari, that equality produce slavery! That trying to protect the less fortunate only makes them weak, and indolent! They are supposed to be under the bootheels of their betters, Mari! It's the natural order! And this is all in the Constitution, which is sacred and can never be altered! Don't read it, daughter, without my help. It has to be read the right way, you see. Otherwise, you wind up like these elitists, acting as if it is a roadmap for government that sometimes has to change! Nonsense and poppycock that shows how they despise our sacred birthright! It is clear--crystal clear--that the Founding Fathers intended for states--and by states, we mean counties--to be the highest level of authority! Yes, everything is obvious, and it all means that all power should go to us, the rural whites, who are naturally superior and the natural rulers."

"Gee whiz, Dad, that has to be right, because yer sayin' it, and I don't have no capacity for indy-pendent thought!"

"As it should be, Mari. All hail the hivemind."

A Reminder That Muir's On The Side Of The Actual Slave States.

  It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Mobile Cop Jiban.

As Mari once again talks like a little girl despite having been aged up to an adult for years now, we're reminded that Muir's definition of 'slavery' is twofold--the first being 'those in need having a safety net producing dependence', the second being 'there being laws in place that keep me and mine from doing as we please'.

Neither of these are slavery. In fact, people who hold these views are likely to support actual slavery, both de jure and de facto. But that's been the Right's problem since the early 20th century. It's set itself against human value and worth and that sounds bad, so it has to produce strange, alternate versions of these things that degrade as they claim to uplift.

The Crazy Thing Muir Believes Now, That He Might Not In Week Or Two!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya.

It's kind of sad how this what Jan and Damon have been reduced to. Making the occasional bad joke over whatever paranoid online drivel Muir has become obsessed with at the moment, just to remind you they're in the strip.

"If Only We Could Have Cravenly Surrendered To The Genocidal Invaders! Then Things Would Doubtless Be Better Now!"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Choujinki Metalder.

The extent to which Muir imagines he's a good guy in matters where he's on the side of fascists just keeps getting greater the longer the strip runs. It's astonishing how the only thing that got him to give up his vision of unilateral war was something even more destructive to our alliances and status in the world.

Pregnancy. Like Everything Else The Cast Faces, No Real Problem.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because MegaBeast Investigator Juspion.

There are no real plots anymore in DbD, because there are no real conflicts. Just constant validation of the innate virtue and superiority of the Compound, in all their fascist, white nationalist glory.

Truly He Is The Paterfamilias.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Space Cop Shaider.

This is what the strip is about now. How Captain Mitty is the most awesome and many man of all, and deserves everything he has, and should be allowed to do as he pleases.

It's pathetic, and when you look at it closely, evil.

Saturday, September 21, 2024

The Pregnancy And Breastfeeding Fetishes Have Gotten Weirder And Weirder.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Space Cop Sharivan.

The disquieting extent to which pregnancy has wound up a dominating plots over the last few years just underlines that Muir thinks shit like this celebrates women, instead of objectifying them.

Another 'Biden Be Pooping' Joke.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Space Cop Gavan.

You know, as we stare at that... that, it's kind of fascinating how divorced Muir is from the 2024 presidential campaign. He was barely checked in for most of 2020, and now... he's somehow even less engaged. Muir's ongoing retreat from the real world started in the second Obama term and accelerated throughout the Trump years to land him here. I'm genuinely wondering how much further he can go. A Trump win might perk him up for a little while, but much like happened before, the ensuing shitshow would see him checking out pretty early.

Tonight, On The Sitcom From Hell.

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

Once, again, this is where the strip has wound up. With this being a slice of life moment. Just a man, his de facto father-in-law, and their robodogs talking about wimmen.

Sometimes, The Extent To Which Muir Has No Idea What He's Doing Hits You Like A Hammer.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger.

...

It's kind of amazing how Muir finally expanded the cast, but only in an insane way that's resulted in these bizarre robots, and a guy whose only personality trait is he loves to barbecue being among the most prominent characters. (Hey, remember the Asian woman who Trevor seemed to have a thing with for awhile who vanished mysteriously? If not, don't worry. I'm pretty sure Muir doesn't.)

Muir Jumps On The Bandwagon As It Hurtles Off The Cliff.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger.

I figured there were two ways Muir was going to handle the crazy ranting about immigrants eating pets--either he was going to ignore it, or he was going to join in because he was certain this bit of racist nonsense was a winning ticket, and a great truth that needs to be said.

And of course, it's the second.

"Always Fun To Spend Our Time Plotting Bloody Treason, Guyovitch!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Avataro Sentai Donbrothers.

Clearly, as a man who has betrayed both the nation of his birth and his adopted country for a fascist dictator, Russian Guyovitch is the greatest True Patriot of them all.

Ripped From The Headlines.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger.

The most interesting thing about this is I've had to swap days because Muir took down Sunday's strip, then put up Monday's, then published Sunday's on Monday, then swapped them again because nothing in the operations of this strip make any sense.

I mean, take that out and there's not much to say about this strip. Muir is once again whining about an imaginary version of events that lets him be mad about things.

Saturday, September 14, 2024

"Waaah! Dey Pickin' On Him!"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The High School Heroes.

And the rugged manly man starts crying out how unfair it is when his hero loses, insisting that it must have been because of cheating while pretending the bit about screaming about immigrants eating pets didn't happen.

Friday, September 13, 2024

Stop Pretending You Know Things, Muir. You Don't.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Mashin Sentai Kiramager.

Not only are Zed and Sam devolving into abstract shapes, Muir's dialogue is devolving into actual word salad even by his increasingly lax standards. This is genuine psychotic episode stuff here.

Scenes From A Crackpot Marriage.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger.

We've gotten close to a week of these one and two panel strips consisting only of Sam and Zed tossing out this idiotic paranoid gibberish and reaffirming their own superiority to the rest of the world. The strip's reminding us that it is in the end a closed circle, Muir talking to himself endlessly and declaring that he is so much smarter and stronger than those who disagree with him, and that every crazy theory he's bought is so obviously right. Sometimes he tries to hide this with a lot of badly done activity trying to simulate action and a plot, and sometimes he just gives up and you get this, two sock puppets yammering at each other in feigned conversation trying to pretend they're people as Muir tries to pretend this horrific world he's imagined out of his own bigotry and egotism (leavened with countless online lunacy) is real.

Raise Those Tinfoil Hats High!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because 4 Week Continuous Super Sentai Strongest Battle!!

Times like this emphasize that fine combination of crazy, stupid and evil that fuels Muir these days. There's the massive arrogance, the colossal ignorance, and the spite, misogyny and bigotry under it all.

Tuesday, September 10, 2024

Children's Ice Cream, Mandrake!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Katou Sentai Lupinranger VS Kaisatsu Sentai Patranger.

...It's the extent of the strip's insanity that gets to you. Muir is batshit about everything these days.

Monday, September 9, 2024

Remember How Inferior And Wacky Those Not Like The Cast Are!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Uchu Sentai Kyuranger.

It's striking that these are Muir's imaginary best versions of what he believes to pit against the imaginary worst versions of his foes. These shrill obnoxious rednecks stuck in the same terrible stock poses over and over.

Saturday, September 7, 2024

The Most Fascist Thing You Can Do Is Not Let Fascists Spread Fascist Propaganda!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Shuriken Sentai Ninninger.

Sometimes, the saying of 'Scratch a libertarian, find a fascist' seems so very appropriate. This is most definitely one of those times, where we see all of Muir's greatest hits. Slavish worship of Elon Musk! Calling a liberal Jewish man a Nazi!  The basic assumption that Muir and the Right have special privileges that the rabble don't, and that's that! 

Friday, September 6, 2024

It's Easy To Call Others Sinful When You Declare Virtue Sin, And Everything Communist.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Resshi Sentai ToQger.

A good person, according to Muir, will not be angry at his racist militia and their corrupt billionaire friends. That's just being sinful, and also, Communist.

The Non-Racist Must Suffer For Their Vile Lack Of Racism.

  It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger.

A reminder that this Sunday, he was explaining how much his casts hate Nazis. Who of course must oppose his platform of racial purity, blood and soil politics and the need to purge and punish those in the country who do not share these beliefs, as they are degenerate traitors.

Every Bit Of Wingnut "News", Days After It Hits It Peak.

  It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Tokumi Sentai Go-Busters.

The "Kamala doesn't have real crowds, does not, does not!" story has been circulating among the Online Right for weeks now, based on their not understanding how large crowds work, and thus turning normal things into "proof" of the conspiracy/failure. To be fair, this goes to the very top. Trump's rallies have often turned into shitshows because of the general assumption that things will work themselves out.

Monday, September 2, 2024

So Much For The Tolerant Left!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.

Muir, of course, is trying to demonstrate how truly broad-minded he is, no not racist, not racist at all, but his attempt is this bizarre effort at the old joke form that just baffles you the more you read it. (The Ukrainian ethnicity is being used as an identifier alongside the Christian and Jewish religions, because, well, because Muir doesn't think about things.)

Nazi Imagines He Hates Nazis.

  It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Tensou Sentai Goseiger.

Naomi opens her spiel about how much she admires those who fought Nazis with a racist crack against Palestinians, which, well, fits her whole purpose in the strip, to demonstrate Muir's shallow philosemitism which of course, only admires Israel as it is a nation of perceived white people fighting perceived brown people. She is Jewish, but this is more something we're told than something that's demonstrated. Thus, she's a sexy blonde who, of course, slept with Captain Mitty in the past.

Muir thinks he hates Nazis. But he doesn't, he hates a vague idea of Nazis without any real consideration of what they believed. 

Which was a bunch of things very much like what Muir believes.
