This manages to be awful and pathetic simultaneously.

    You know, the more awful Muir gets, the more outright stupid he gets.
    You've disagreed, I think, but I've never thought of Muir as stupid, per se. Not for most of DBD, at least. But the way he now automatically absorbs and regurgitates every right-wing craze/lie/scapegoat/hate object du jour and instantly zeros in maniacally on every single new villain that comes along --- it's just such stupid, brainless behavior. Karen Bass is the new evil villain, so suddenly it's ALL SYSTEMS GO.
    "I didn't know about this evil villain two days ago, but by golly now she's evilest evil villain that ever did evil villainy!"

      Muir's degeneration is a complicated thing, because while some of it is unquestionably him, other parts involve what he now takes in. He was always this pliable, the reason I have always seen him, from even the earliest days of the strip, as a man patting himself on the back for being gulled. It was just less obvious to a casual observer in the old days because he got his information from Fox News and his earlier 'citizen-journalists' who were largely astroturfed Republican party hacks. And so, when Muir witlessly echoed a talking point, it was a talking point that had been conceived by professionals to be believable and easily communicated. He'd botch them, quite frequently, mind you, but there was a limit to how much he could. But Muir drifted from that over the years, took to listening more and more to the crazier voices on his political wavelength. And so now he echoes absolutely batshit things, and when he makes them worse, they go from completely deranged to somehow even more completely deranged.
