Also, They're Not Real.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because why would you wear cleats to a store?

It's when you really dwell on this the awfulness sinks in. This is the fantasy of someone who has done no good and great ill, of himself as a superhero able to solve problems. Muir blames the government for his own inadequacies, while simultaneously negatively impacting its ability to solve or mediate problems. Any resulting failures are more evidence that the government doesn't work, and should be downgraded to allow individuals like him for freedom to act. And the courses of action Muir supports are arrogant fantasies at best--at worst hateful, racist arrogant fantasies. They are poorly thought out, frequently aimed at imaginary problems, and when aimed at actual problems transparently ineffectual to any critical observer. 

That's what this strip is--a man who makes life more difficult for others screaming that if we just let him do what he wanted, everything would be better, even as he proposes actions that would make things even more difficult for other people.

They Plot Against Us And Wish Us Ill!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because she cried for no one.

...

You can always count on Muir to find new depths of cowardly xenophobia to plumb, while insisting that he is a real brave Murican.

New Zealand And Australia Are The Same, Right?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I've seen all the dropouts who make their own rules.

...

Won't lie, at this point, I'm ranking "Muir catches Covid" as close to inevitable.

Muir Totally Respects Their Service.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because for liberty, Fernando.

It's weird to see the various shufflings of the sinister group Muir imagines to be running the government.

This Is Real True News, Honest!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because are you tired, do you all feel wrung out?

...

It's always kind of amazing to watch Muir use the same picture for a real person over and over.

Everything Is An Insane Conspiracy Against Real Muricans.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'd rather be hammer than a nail.

What's amazing is how nakedly it comes across that Muir is only angry about this because he views this as a personal humiliation, not because of any actual concern on the subject. That and his preoccupation with insane conspiracy theories to explain anything.
