Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
The lack of an /s in your comment worries me, especially since the entire conversation is about the fact that there are those among us who say what you just said with no hint of sarcasm.
Then I guess a bit of critical thinking will need to be applied. My comment was very obvious sarcasm.
Are you worried because someone might think me, a trans woman, is advocating for the internment of everyone who is not a white cishetero male Christian nationalist in favor of trains running in time? Cause... Me too honestly.
I get that the state of the US is abysmal, but if anyone is taking that comment seriously I hope they choke on a shotgun. /srs
The mistake is thinkkng that critical thinking is a common reaction these days.
There are latinos who are supporting trump. Trump is the same guy who already seperated families, detained them in what ammounts to essentially a metal box in the Texas heat, without release, or water, until they died. Children seperated from families, still to this day not reunited, some of which never will be, because some died.
That's not some hyperbole "this could happen" dramatic statement. I'm saying 2016-2020 he already DID do these things, and bragged about doing them. He bragged about killing people because they were latino.
There are latino trump voters and supporters in 2024. So, no. I don't assume everyone will automatically know your comment was dripping in sarcasm, I don't assume anyone will know your life story, and I don't assume everyone will vote in their best interests. People play politics like sports teams these days.
Ask me more about my life story! So far you have this:
As for your sports team context, if I played this like sports, I'd turn the TV off. Unfortunately, I was kidnapped and placed on the field in a cage, and if one side wins I get shot. The other side wins and I get to hang out in the cage some more. There's a small contingency in the crowd calling to burn the stadium down with everyone on the field (including me) and half of the crowd going down with it. /m
Oh, also, apologies about missing all of the tone tags. /gen
/nbr, /ay but also /nay
/gen
/nay
Do you honestly think people would take my first comment seriously? /gen A simple perusal of my post history shows how much I fucking loathe Trump and republicans and I'm starting to get sick of hearing solutions to our government that amount to "stop compromising and burn it to the ground" without any regard for the consequences or reality. /lh
EDIT: That last portion after my question was /nay, just to be clear. There's others in these comments who are basically saying that because everything sucks or kinda sucks we need to end it, even if it hurts other people. /gen
