It's the Day's Day of Days! Because milk and scissors.
Rereading the older strips makes it clear how much Muir's imagined President Trump owes to his earlier imagined President Dubya. Both are ever-victorious men of the people that as Muir sees it, truly embody the popular will. What separates them is Trump's well, extra-awfulness, but also the increased paranoia of Muir. Which in this case has him spouting close to Sovereign Citizen gibberish in the middle of a victory lap.
Also, you really wonder if we're ever going to hear about that secession, now that, from Muir's point of view, the "good guys" are back in power.
What exactly is the metaphor here? Using all the people Muir hates as rocket fuel or speedbrakes --- is that supposed to imply mass execution? The only reason I'm not assuming so is because the Peanut Gallery is usually eager to pile on their bloodthirsty fantasies and they aren't doing that here.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard not to burst out laughing at the depiction of TRUMP as being the one in this conversation being all conciliatory and protesting that he's supposed to be the president of ALL Americans, with the all-wise Sam explaining to this sweet naive summer child why this cannot be. Does Muir listen to real-life Trump any more than he listens to anyone outside the extreme right??
The Peanut Gallery talks about a woman working for FEMA who apparently was refusing to help anyone with a Trump sign in their yard. I haven't checked it, but this appears to be referencing something that, in some form at least, actually happened, given the way they're talking about the follow-up. If it actually happened the way they say it did, terrific. Thanks a lot, lady. Just what everyone needed. Validation of the worst conspiracy paranoia about your agency, on top of contemptible disregard for your professional and moral obligations. Good job.
I love how Oldarmourer tells this entire anecdote about a "karen" from decades ago who probably still votes "lieberal" from the grave, but there's not a single thing in the story he tells to indicate this woman's politics one way or the other.
I don't think Muir is even sure what he wants to happen at this point, much less what the metaphor is.
