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.

Actually... that was the thinking behind the OG MAGA movement. Ngl, but aside from the stupidity of thinking that Trump of all people would do anything even remotely like what they hoped, he was an attempt borne out of sheer desperation to have ANYONE other than "Mrs. The Establishment", "keep the status quo" Clinton. It was pretty much her campaign slogan - "things right now aren't all that bad", remember?
He even shook things up in a BIG(-LY) way! Unfortunately, it was all in the opposite direction but... still, he did move the needle, that much he did!
It reinforces in my own mind: the journey of 1000 miles does not begin with a single step, but rather with figuring out where the fuck we are now and which direction we should be heading in. Like if you are heading west 1000 miles, then instead of just start walking west, maybe go south 100 miles first, then drive east 1000 miles to get a plane so that you can handle going over the ocean that you would have encountered soon enough by simply stupidly walking or even driving. Anyway, Truth is far often more complex than Fiction, and I'm saying that we should figure out the right way to go first. Or, you know, we could ignore all of that and head down to the Texas/Mexico border with our guns, bc somehow that has become top priority too (/s, bc it's not, unless quite possibly it somehow is, like if the USA goes to civil war over that, and that is the flash point event?).
Yeah I have no clue what to do.
