Literally, and by that I mean, YES that is the face I was making
Some combination of dread, denial, fear, anxiety and a general sense that shit is about to hit the fan
This comic is several decades old by now. This means her daughter is now all grown up and voting Trump now.
She's reading a book as a child, likely went to college and voted Harris/Walz like a good non-nazi citizen
I'm trying to cope
This reminds me of the boy who cried wolf. Eventually the boy cries wolf too many times, townspeople stop listening to the boy, and stop responding to the cries.
The way we tell it, though, is that the boy is falsely crying wolf each time. And the townspeople eventually learn their lesson and stop responding.
One hypothetical that I always think about is what if the boy is correct each time, and there really is a wolf every time? Well, I think the townspeople would eventually grow numb to the cries and stop responding anyway, and kinda leave the boy to fend for himself because they're sick of helping him. We'd see the same result even if the boy did nothing wrong.
They couldn't afford to get tired of helping the boy, since he was working for the town. The townspeople hired him as a lookout for wolf which was a threat to the town.
Trump could shoot someone on 5th avenue, eat their corpse, shit himself, murder a puppy with his bare hands while screaming ALLAH AKBAR and STILL mother fuckers would vote for him just for lower egg prices
We are the dumbest fucking country on the planet
And egg prices will still go up.
Catastrophicly so.
People don't seem to understand how bad deflation is.
murder a puppy with his bare hands
Would have to be quite a small puppy, though.
A couple countries in Europe are in the running, and now even Canada too, I'm told.
Man you are imagining trump capable of a lot of exercise. The guy could never do any of that he'd die of a heart attack trying to walk up to somebody
You didn't really need to add the bigoted bullshit and just as reference "god is great" was and is still a warcall of Christians.
maybe you should try to live at 2000$ a month in nyc while renting. you will quickly understand why so many didn’t vote or voted trump after hearing peak cringe & farce from dnc for months. ii am very sure they wanted to shoot harris every time some celeb endorsement was thrown at their face. but keep living in your bubble if ignorance.
I don't have a dog in the fight; I live elsewhere, but it's baffling to see voters vote for someone who actively caters to the corporations and rich that exploit the average American. Criminal record and very questionable ethics aside, choosing to elect someone to pour more gas on fire doesn't seem like the right solution
The choice was between a very selective sheep herder and a very nonselective sheep eater. Not wanting to watch some of the sheep get all the good stuff, they decided on the sheep eater. While being exceptionally cruel to them, this one is also being exceptionally cruel towards the sheep favoured by the herder, so in their perspective, not much was lost.
I’d say it was a non selective herder and a semi selective eater.
What makes you say that? Kamala would have benefitted some people, but Trump hurts everyone.
Yeah. There's a strong "fuck it, burn it!" vibe going among a lot of voters.
It saddens me because I don't think it'll help.
But I can't claim not to understand.
I'm not convinced any of these assholes (at the national level) is on my side.
(I'm told by pretty much all of them that it would be impossibly disruptive to stop selling guns to murderers who happen to be running countries...)
So I understand how folks who are having an even tougher time than I am may see things and act unpredictability (and stupidly) in protest.
150 million sheep would beg to differ
Only they see themselves as wolves, which would explain why they call the others sheeple
We only had 67% voter turnout, so that'd be about 112 million
72 million, actually. So far.
I told you not to vote for the Sheep-Eating Wolves Party!
Don't blame me, I voted for the sheep-eating-coyote!
The time to post this was a week ago.
This is definitely a repost.
Americans who live in straw and stick houses: "That big bad wolf won't blow down my house!"
- Hispanics for Trump
Workers for capitalism
Like the emperors new cloths was suppose to be a stop gaurd against someone like trump. Nope. The only fairy tales we subscribe to are bibletm and they need to be predigested by a guy who touches little boys.
Sad thing is, the person who read me the emperors new clothes is the one gobbling his knob.
Wisdom is probably a very real feature of society we need and depend on. I think with the suddenness of all the technological advancement the wisdom we needed to have in place just wasn't there.
It's almost like the reason there isn't any visitors in a universe filled with life is knowledge cannot advance as fast as intelligence.
Nicely done
Even Tommy Douglas thought that the mice would elect cats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqgOvzUeiAA
Children's stories are often seeds of critical thinking sown in growing minds.
This shows that a shit tonne of American parents didn't read their kids bed time stories
The mother and I made the same expression 2 days ago
Call the sheep dumb but maybe they just don't take the reports of the wolf seriously. I mean, this little box tells me all kinds of stories. Aliens. Spaceships. Monsters. One gets jaded.
the irony that the wolf here is dnc who have been in power. the sheep here is the working class & the kids in gaza.
