The Same Panel, Over And Over.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because little gnomes live in their homes.

The amount of 'not even trying' in this strip is something. Even the political gags are just a couple weak shoutouts meant to get a nod from the Peanut Gallery.

Your Softcore Sitcom From Hell.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because sensational!

How does Sam keep her head at that awkward angle?

The Culture Of The Herrenvolk.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because then we'll close with the ethnic comedy of Dugan and Derschowitz

The pretense of clean, country-living being spoiled by the bad cheesecake from the vault being placed just below is so late DbD, in'nt it?

Angry Old Man Yells At Clouds.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because three wishes.

I guess it saves him a lot of work, just using that same last panel over and over again with different backgrounds.

I See Everyone Is Mutating Again.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Golgo 13.

Sometimes Muir's copy'n'paste "art" produces genuine horror in its grotesqueness. This is such a time.

He Thinks He Has Values.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Outer Heaven.

It's the hypocrisy that gets you. Muir wants to make terrible soft core porn, and then sneer at everyone else for not having the proper values.

The Sitcom From Hell Goes On.

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

Moments like this show what makes the hivemind the hivemind. Every character in it knows the sinister deep state are serving the pedoelite and also sexism and racism aren't really problems anymore.

See? The Girl Knows Science! Isn't That Funny?

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

...

As usual, whenever Muir tries to come off as cutting edge, he convinces you how behind the times he is.

So Much Racism, In So Many Varities.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because walking on imported air.

So, we not only have the horrible racism of Arabs being superstitious cowards who will flee from the Westerners' superior tech, we have one of Muir's imaginary Blacks sharing a laugh about how racism isn't a problem anymore.

Yeah. It's of a piece.

How Dare They Be A Different Kind Of Misogynistic Fundamentalist Than Him!

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

...Yeah, the irony would be bracing enough, when not mixed with the whole 'evil Muslim immigrants from Mexico' premise to make us bash our heads against the wall. 

And the Muslims talking like characters from a bad 1930s mock-Arabian production.

Those Swarms Of Arabs Coming From... Mexico. Sigh.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because oh, Billy.

I remain baffled at Muir's obsession with this incoherent scenario of the Texas border being inundated with Arab immigrants. I can understand the basic desires that made it come into being, Muir wanting to mix his mythical war of civilizations with his general 'guard the borders' anti-immigrant bigotry, but I still don't get what he's using to fuel the noxious flames this time.

"We Sure Are Showing The Internal Traitors!"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'm holding out my hand.

Every defeat is just proof that your faction is better and more perfect than those dirty backstabbing traitors who have seized control to a fanatic.

The Bad Boyars Have Misled The Good Tsar.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because come on mutants. Let's dance the twist.

I'm reminded of the early days of Muir's admitting that Dubya had blown some calls. Which has lead to the present state of Muir more or less pretending he never really supported him.

She Dreamed She Was In A Hollywood Movie, And That She Was The Star Of That Movie...

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Nomi Song.

It's the hypocrisy dripping off this fever dream of a strip that gets you. Sam having her daughters essentially work as strippers is just fun hijinks, not like the evil gays who are all child groomers, and if you don't see that, you're just a no fun killjoy. But the gays are all plotting to do evil things when they try to have equal rights, and Muir's just standing up for traditional values when he acts like a vicious bigot. Because everything Muir wants is just natural, just human, and everything other people wants is an assault against the natural order.

Astonishing, How Sam's Dreams Are Like Something An Aging Male Misogynist Would Think Up.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because it's Prime Time.

You know, there's something so revealing in how Xir's sexuality is such a strange quantum thing, sometimes merely an unattractive lesbian, other times implied to be trans, queer, or some form of nonbinary sexuality. Of course, that's the point--Xir is less a character and more a cipher on whom Muir can place everything he fears in gender roles. And because, under the obnoxious swagger, Muir's sexual politics are brittle, terrified and toxic, that covers a lot of ground.

The Good Fight Of Being A Corrupt, Incompetent Bigot.

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

You know, Muir keeps pulling out the 'Sam sleeps on the job' trick--largely so he can have her have her awful, psychotic dream sequences--and, well, it just folds back into what we saw yesterday. Sam sleeping on the job is fine, because she's good folks, and it's just a harmless foible. Sam having a carwash where she and her daughters essentially strip in public--that's just good clean Murican fun. No, it's the people who support LGBTQ+ who are the perverts, it's the people who shelter immigrants who are wrong, and they are easily thwarted, because like most fascists Muir thinks he and his are omnicompetent wizards who would govern easily if they were in power.

Even as he details plans that could only fail.

The Alliance Of Papists, Immigrant Filth And The Moral Degenerates.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because did that really happen?

As we stare as Muir's politics start going to the actual Know-Nothing playbook, the question comes up--what the hell does Sam do as council chair aside be awful? Does Gunpowder County fulfill its federal and state mandates or are those ignored in the midst of all this 'freeman of the land' bullshit? Is Sam, for example, disallowing food stamps and welfare because 'gubmint bad' and 'good folk don't need handouts'?

Because as I've noted before, this county should be going broke from the lawsuits all her bullshit should be unleashing, and if they aren't doing what the state and federal governments tell them to... well, that's just more fuel to the fire.

Yes, Your Opponents Are The Ones Like Religious Fanatics, You Say While Declaring Violent Idiots Martyrs...

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Lyle can turn into a dragon, but only in cutscenes.

A reminder that the man saying this is/was a federal agent.

A Racist Facsimile Of A Joke.

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

It's clear Muir wanted to make a witch doctor joke, but in his present incoherent state can't actually get the setup right.

They Won't Catch Muir With Their Wily Plots!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Buffalo Ranch.

The fascinating thing is how firmly Muir believes this despite how blatantly incoherent and nonsensical it is. This is a conspiracy theory that falls apart under even the most casual examination--for Muir and his ilk, this is not a thing that is explained but it is uttered breathlessly, believed in because in the world of gutchecks they've chosen to live in, anything that supposes the absolute depravity of their foes and their own utter brilliance and will for ignoring facts and reason must be true.

Ahh, The Joys Of Telling Yourself That You're Winning, Yes, You Is.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because everyone was acting normal, so I tried to be nonchalant.

As we stare at Muir's usual fascist drivel in particularly wretched verse form, it's that first panel that fascinates me, because it sums up Muir--the idolization of awful white guys, and mistaking self-destructive idiocy as genius because it matches his fascistic worldview.

The Proof Of Their Fanaticism Is Their Objection To Being Killed.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Powers of Darkness.

Muir's inability to recognize that how contradictory his declarations are, and how they mark him as a morally blind hypocrite projecting his own authoritarianism and fanaticism are... well, par for the course these days.

Muir Knows He's Without Sin And Casts That Stone!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because they were born in lotus land.

Ah, remember when Muir used to give us week after week of Islamophobia? He generally doesn't go to that well anymore, but every now and then he reminds us all that he's still hates them just as much as he does the various Latino immigrants he imagines, or the sinister pedo-elite.

In Conclusion, Dictators Are Clearly Superior, Because They Own More Precious Metals.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Samurai Trilogy.

...

Moving from the fact that Muir, like most cranks, is convinced that an economy needs precious metals to work, I'm just wondering what the hell Muir imagines is going on in Ukraine, since he clearly sees Putin and Xi having some hold on the man who's, you know, played a big part in arming Ukraine.

"I Mean, We're Witless Foils Who Only Exist To Make The Idiot Protagonists Look Smart."

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Elevator Action (1983).

It's bleakly fascinating how Muir's mythology on the vaccines is such a jumble. The MRNA vaccines have the side-effects of some of the non-MRNA vaccines, only blown up from rare to common, and they also give you the long Covid side-effects, and also, Covid is not really the big problem, it's the vaccine. This is where Muir has ended up--in an utterly garbage space intellectually where you believe incoherent gibberish and think that doing so demonstrates how superior a mind you are. If it's impossible to understand for those of us outside the toxic far Right bubble, well, it's also impossible to understand in it. They just know that every bad thing they believe has to be true all at once and at the same time.

"Also, People Are Wising Up To How We Faked The Moon Landing!"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Bubble Bobble.

We've seen it too often to count--Muir has his straw opponents confirm every ridiculous charge. The Covid vaccine? Of course it's all actually killing people! The election in Arizona? Clearly fraud! Ukraine? Obviously just a money laundering operation! 

That reality keeps disagreeing with Muir is another sign that it is in the pay of subversives.

Yup, The Currency Is Worthless And Tax Evasion Is Cool!

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

It's kind of fascinating that the bitter old men of the Right have been preaching the same gospel for fifty years now, and yet, the nation continues, despite their constant declaration that the collapse is coming any day now.

Is There Actually A Point To Any Of This?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Murder Legendre.

That is one epically disjointed parody that seems to exist largely so Muir can heap abuse on all the people he imagines have betrayed him.

With that said, it remains bleakly fascinating how all it takes to get Muir to turn on the cops is the idea that he and his could get shot instead of the blahs, especially for things they were actually doing. (A reminder that Babbitt was breaking down a window while carrying a backpack and with numerous armed people behind her, which makes her death about the farthest thing from 'in cold blood' you could imagine.)

When The People Who Tell You They're 'Not Racist, But...' Get A Philosophy About It.

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

...

The fascinating thing is that Muir seems to think this is something new he's saying instead of something he's pretty much been saying since he started writing this strip.

Buy Gold Bye!

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

Remember when there was a touch of irony about calling the Compound the Compound?

See, This Isn't Racist Because They're Friends...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Eton Mess.

Remember when Jan had at least a crudely drawn personality? Boy that was... better than this.

Also, she was clearly white for the first year or so, but that's another subject involving Muir's constant mutilating of characters to achieve political points.
