Muir Doesn't Understand What's Happening, But He Read A Summary, And It's Got His Blood Pumping.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Captain Video: Master of the Stratosphere.

And we get the usual 'All socialism is totalitarian communism' bullshit, the 'Democrats have always been communists' bullshit, the 'Muir appropriating a piece of pop culture he misunderstands' bullshit, and the 'Muir dreaming about a civil war because he thinks it can only result in his sort smashing inferior leftist heads' bullshit. All pretty typical. Still, we do get an interesting variation of Muir almost certainly regurgitating someone else's bile and not realizing the implications.

Coming out against the 1848 revolutions in the 21st century. Well, we all knew Muir was turning on actual democracy and leaning towards monarchy, but it always clarifies things when he comes out and says it. Even if he doesn't realize that's what he's saying.

For The Mass Arrests! That Are Surely Coming THIS Time!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Chick Carter, Detective.

You know, there's both the chilling part of this--Muir spouts this Nazi bullshit and doesn't even realize it's Nazi bullshit, he thinks he's being a patriotic Murican--and the deeply amusing part of this--Muir imagines his little secret prison for dissidents at a time when his lumpish hero is running out of juice on nearly every front.

"C-Can't Y-You S-See W-What A-Animals Th-They A-Are?"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Custer's Last Stand.

This legion of misquotes and bullshit are pretty rich coming from a guy who's trafficked in worse, and whined and screamed persecution at even the faintest hint of being called on it. But it also underlines what a gutless wonder Muir is under it all. He's like the people who, to paraphrase the quote, waged war on the naive belief that they would bomb everyone and no one would bomb them.

And I don't think I need to tell you how that went for them.

Sam Is So Happy At The Thought Of Murdering Her Fellow Citizens, She's Gone Howler Monkey Again!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Zombies of the Stratosphere.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... he says shit like this and imagines he's some sort of patriot.

Muir Listens To The Sage-Like Discourse Of Whiskey Pete.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because King of the Forest Rangers.

There's something grotesque about watching Muir recast Kegsbreath as his idea of a sophisticated military thinker, especially as that idea isn't actually that, but a bad parody of it, spouting ideas Muir's gotten second or third hand while failing to understand.

That  it includes Muir's typical "Inferior Blue States! They are not true Murican!" drivel just makes it worse.

Yup, Nearly Killed Someone!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Murder in the Pullman.

It's easy to convince yourself you're brave when you decide that cowardly bullying is a sign of courage.

Also, I'm baffled by the focus on Sam's oil-stained hand in the last panel. At least, I think it's oil-stained. A baffling artistic choice all around, but then, what do you expect from Muir?

POSTSCRIPT--On closer review of the word panels, I think that's Mari's oil-stained hands, which not only underlines his terrible blocking but remains an absolutely baffling artistic choice. And realize it took multiple attempts for me to figure out what he was trying to represent here.

Soon, It Would Soon Happen. And It Would Be Soon.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Gracie Allen Murder Case.

Ahh, time for yet another thing that will be about to inevitably occur, and then suddenly, the cast will be pretending that, what, no, they never thought that would happen.

"Remember, Us Threatening Them Is Good And Fine, It Ever Happening The Other Way Around Is Evil."

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Red Harvest--Crime Wanted - Male or Female.

Given that this little rant masquerading as a conversation is pretty much all things Muir's hypocritically ranted at before, I'm going to focus that even though Musk is now well into his unpersoning, Muir keeps up with the cybertruck, hinting at some residual fondness and hopes that Elon shall return from his exile. 

"Remember, We Are Both Always Under Attack, Yet Completely Invulnerable!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Bodies Piled Up.

Oddly enough, I'd say this strip underlines why Muir's having such a hard time dealing with the Kirk assassination. Muir loves the idea of being always under attack, but there must be no real threat there--the inferior Left exists only to do the most dastardly thing and be thwarted. Effortless victory is guaranteed. But Kirk's death is a grim reminder that this imagined guarantee does not exist. Kirk built his entire career on the illusion of it and the myth of the grim persecution that he and people like Muir like to imagine they face. But insisting that gun deaths are a sacrifice we must pay for the armed society doesn't keep you from being one, and irony will not shield you from actual violence.

That's an idea Muir hates, and so he's doing his best not to think about it.

Mia's Is One Of Them Now. She's Developed Howler Monkey Face.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Juukou B-Fighter.

And here we see the fascism that lurks under the thin wrapping of Muir's libertarian rhetoric. He says, and likely imagines, that he wants a world of freedom--but what he really wants is for him and his to have the license to do as they please and enforce their will on those they don't agree with. So a world of freedom for brittle redneck reactionaries. Authoritarianism for everyone else.

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.

"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.

These Things Are Only Problems For The Inferior Leftists! Because They're Weak And Inferior!

  It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.

The fact that Muir thinks his racist militia spewing this hateful filth comes across as admirable says so much, doesn't it?

"Yeah, We'll Totally Kill Him!"

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ultraman X.

This manages to both be pathetic and also terrifying. But so much for the rule of laws not men. Oh, well. Muir knows that can't be important.

Whatever Can Be Done About One Hick Town In Texas Committing Blatant And Obvious Civil Rights Violations?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ultraman Max.

Once again Redneckistan is somehow fascinating to people who shouldn't care about it, and irresistible despite being a weak opponent that keeps making self-defeating moves. Because like every fascist, Muir is obsessed with strength and power, but doesn't understand how they work.

Next, Mention The Fringe On The Flag.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ultraman Nexus.

There's something so quietly pathetic where Muir opens the strip with a lot of nonsense arguments that he's learnt second-hand, so you know that he's essentially having his characters quote his fellow nutters. Running through this is Muir's eternal belief that the Real Law has to be something that lets him and his do whatever they want. And the evil Left acting as if it doesn't work that way is more proof of their evil and corruption, denying this self-evident truth, and ALSO allows him to use the even more powerful Real Laws that let him do even more things that he wants to do to hurt them.

Which is totally not fascist, because youse the fascist for wanting to stop him.

Muir Taking A Break Whenever He Double-Publishes Is All Kind Of Annoying.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ultraman Cosmos.

And remember, when Muir imagined the evil Blue Staters doing this, it was the evilest form of authoritarianism. But that was them, doing it to his people. The other way is The Natural Order and Good. 

And it's also a good demonstration that Muir doesn't get how the Constitution works.

Muir Isn't Triggered! Honest!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ultraman Neos.

I was preparing to note how shallow Muir's bravado is, the empty posturing of a man who thinks making threats is a sign of courage, and then he just demonstrates it. After praising an internet rando, and saying, yeah, the wimpy Left is in real trouble, he flips out on Trump's losing his trial, and starts sputtering nonsense while imagining he's coming across as cool, collected, and badass.

Missing The Point Of Two Different Films. That's Something.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ultraman Tiga.

I mean, the joke of Bluto going into politics is that it's kind of terrifying...
