It's the Day's Day of Days! Because he'll leave you with naught but rue.
Muir's rewriting of reality is developing a somewhat frantic tone--the Democrats are always obviously crooks. Trump was innocent, and shut up, don't bother him with your facts. As I said, the fact that the cavalry isn't coming, and indeed, doesn't even exist is starting to dawn on him, but Muir is doing his best to keep the truth buried in his subconscious.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because to rouse the spirit of the earth.
So, about that map...
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because now we are six.
It's kind of amusing watching Muir cycle through denial, anger, bargaining, and then back to denial again in an endless loop. (More amusing than his new bestie Beale, who is stuck firmly on denial, posting 'Biden did not win' over and over again as if he can make it so by repetition.) We can even see the shape of Muir's worldview when the inevitable happens and Trump is no longer President--this was a coup, and it doesn't count, and anything to end this state of affairs, including an actual coup is kosher.
So, yeah. I expect a crazy four years.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because rooster.
This is what happens when you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Muir clearly thinks that all Trump has to do is sue, and the Supreme Court gets involved and then tosses out the election.
This isn't how it works.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Electric Avenue.
One of the bleakly amusing parts of Muir's ongoing collapse into naked fascism is watching him call all his opponents fascist in the manner of a freaking Comintern member from the 30s. I mean at this point, the 'women of color politicians are literally Hitler' gag isn't even a surprise.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'll keep it with mine.
Let's see what the crazy bullshit he believes next week, folks.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because wherever I meet with a deck of cards, I lay my money down.
Of course, Gore was never 'President-Elect' for weeks. Further, Muir doesn't seem to realize that Trump is in the position that Gore was in.
Only for more states.
With larger margins.
So, yeah. Trump's lost.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the flowers bloom like madness in the spring.
There's an embarrassment of crazy riches to... sample here. We start with Muir in pure Bizarro-Marxist mode, explaining the Iron Laws of history to us, demonstrating once again he's arrogant, ignorant blowhard who doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. We then move on to the desire for bloodletting, which would be terrifying, if we didn't have Muir absolutely pegged by now. He'll bluster, he'll beat up imaginary leftists in his awful cartoon, and that will be it.
He's lost. He lost when he won, honestly, because Muir wants things that can't happen. Because he's a nasty little cowardly fascist who hates this country, and thinks that he loves it.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because loop-di-loop.
You know, it's obvious we're being set up for a massive wall-of-text rant in Sunday's strip with this one. I'm just wondering what's going to happen now that Biden's won--are we going to get it as a sort of threnody, or is Muir going to give us a primal scream instead?
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because bramble.
Watching Muir suddenly notice the election after its over is certainly a thing.
Mind you, he'd be screaming fraud if it was a blowout for Biden, so really not much of a surprise here.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it was a dinosaur.
Muir's arrogance is, as always, matched by his ignorance. But go on, Muir. Explain to us how elections working by the rules they've worked by for decades is somehow cheating.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Mango.
Called it.
Well, let's trudge through, folks. Got a long week ahead of us.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because he wears a white cockade.
This election day, Muir has retreated fully from the real world to dwell in one where his guy is great, and awesome, and the other guy is awful, and a pedophile, and EVERYTHING IS FINE.
Who knows what the hell tomorrow will bring, eh? Save that it will be unpleasant.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Secret History.
It's funny to note, as things wind down, that this year Muir has largely ignored the presidential race, preferring to dwell in an alternate world where everything is fine, Trump is doing well, and this whole democracy thing is just some sore losers about to get schooled by the Leader. But then, Muir's always been a rather frail little authoritarian under his bluster, as this strip illustrates. When things turn against him, he curls into a ball, whines about how mean people are being to him, and then shouts how things are going to be fine, just fine, and boy won't they be sorry when he really cuts loose.
It makes the roots of his Trump support fairly obvious.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Raffles Holmes & Co.
And Muir vanishes up the Right Wing's ass.
In some ways, this is a nicer place for him to dwell than reality, but only because he's become so toxic and lost in spiritual darkness that exposure to the metaphorical sunlight of reality might kill him.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because see androids fighting Brad and Janet.
The projection remains... epic, just as the nude drawings remain tacky and creepy.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because a Salvation Army band played, and the children drank lemonade.
It says something that Muir has reached the point that he just spits out his talking points even as they contradict each other these days.
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because With God's Help, Peace.
The projection here is epic beyond Muir's normal measure, because Muir is not only projecting Republican opportunism onto the Democrats, he's projecting his own ideological about-faces, which have had him swap from neo-con hawk to neo-isolationist, all with the idea of 'owning the libs' and explaining how they're the real racists.
And it has clearly been draining for him.
It's the Days Day of Days! Because oblong.
...
You know this strip speaks for itself, and what it says, despite what Muir imagines, is "Yes, I know that we're almost certainly going to lose this one, so I'm figuring out how to explain that away, and reaffirm my narrative of how great we are."
It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Enola Holmes.
What makes this fascinating is that we know that Muir realizes, on some level, that it's Trump who's losing, that it's Trump who's blowing his chances, that it's Trump who's an incapable fool. But he can't out and out admit that, so we get this play attempt at blithe, bluff confidence that is simultaneously actively deluded and a desperate put-on. He's not alone on this--his fellows on the Crazyass Right are making the same sort of comments about how Biden is toast, and how the Democrats are going to try and steal it, but obviously, they won't succeed, etc.
The projection is, as always, EPIC.
