Guys, this comic is a jab at conservatives, and is poking fun at how they're going to respond to getting screwed by Trump. The comic is positing that conservatives will just blame Democrats (usually their leader specifically), as they've done since time immemorial. These exact types of comics have been around since Reagan, they're all the same comic. The last big one was the "thanks Obama" meme, where Obama is blamed for every stupid little thing.

This isn't a comic about leftists blaming Biden. It's about the bull headedness and obtuse nature of conservatives.

This comic would have been perfect if the guy's hat just had MAGA on it, easier to get the message across

[–] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 39 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

The message is 100% clear to Americans already.

Biden is not responsible for what Trump is doing. He is responsible for letting it happen. He failed to fight maga during the 4 years he had all the powers to do it.

To be accurate, it is not a fault, it is a failure. His responsibility is on this failure, not anything else.

[–] PixelPinecone 13 points 4 weeks ago

Damn… I’m going to keep “not a fault, it’s a failure” in my back pocket. I’ve never heard it put that way when discussing a screw up that wasn’t really someone’s fault (in this case Biden, but could be Dems or even situations not politics related)

I feel being critical without blaming unfairly is a huge part of my personality, and so this type of convo actually comes up kinda frequently in my life, since so many people struggle to see gray areas between right and wrong, at fault and not at fault.

But what you said is a perfect way to better ensure that the meaning doesn’t get lost to blaming, after which the conversation is usually a lost cause.

the powers trump is using now is not actual presidential powers and I would not see it used by their guys or ours. congress is the one who could have stopped this. mainly back when trump was in office and going through with the impeachment.

When someone robs your house, you blame the robbers. When the police refuse to do anything about it and you get robbed again by the same person 4 years later, you blame the police.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 55 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

I blame the robbers for robbing my house and the police for not doing their jobs. I don't blame the police for robbing my house.

Now we need a version with the guy wearing a "don't vote" cap and saying "this is all the Dems fault".

There’s a lot of “trust the process “ going on from that side atm

Conservatives are happy with what Trump's doing.

[–] SGG@lemmy.world 15 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

They are, until it happens to effect them directly.

"He was supposed to get rid of all the slackers and cut off people abusing the system, not fire my entire department!"

"He was supposed to put in tariffs to make China pay more, not to make the price of our goods go up!"

Classic leopards eating peoples faces party behaviour.

Man, how much of a wuss would you have to be to get beat up by Donald Trump?

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

Not a wuss just “conservative”…

Just “conservative” enough for this…

The Democrats are a cesspool themselves, but at least they don't flaunt screwing you over.

Strawman. Leftists don't claim Biden single-handedly ushered in fascism. Leftists underline how little Biden did to ensure a winning campaign, as well as how little he did to defend against Trump.

Biden enabled Trump by not stacking courts, not prosecuting trump hard enough, or choosing policy positions based on what would beat trump.

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 26 points 4 weeks ago

I don't think the victim here is a leftist. Trucker hat, rolled up sleeves; he's a working class conservative who's getting hammered by Trumps policies. He is still blaming Biden against all evidence.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 24 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

If incompetency was prosecutable, every single ranking member of Biden's DOJ would be eligible for indictment.

From Tulsi Gabbard to Devin Nunes to Jared Kushner to Steven Miller, then number of Trump '16 era crooks who didn't get prosecuted when Biden had the chance could fill an entire Presidential cabinet.

Biden enabled Trump by not stacking courts, not prosecuting trump hard enough, or choosing policy positions based on what would beat trump.

I'm reminded of those 2-pt font "This is what Biden has done, you stupid leftists!" infographics that included dozens of citations of investigations and probes and FBI raids and committees and executive orders and threats to indict which amounted to... nothing! Biden's DOJ couldn't even be bothered to pursue a full prosecution. He left that to Alvin Bragg and a New York County Court.

If Dems wanted a prosecutor who was tough on crime at the top of the ticket, maybe they should have coronated him instead of Harris.

[–] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

This isn't about leftists. The guy is dressed like a farmer, who majority voted for Trump. Trump turned around and immediately cut subsidies that small business farmers rely on, so many are now struggling. The comic is saying that they will still blame Biden despite being screwed by Trump. This could also be viewed as shorthand for any trump voter.

In reality, we've seen many farmers now communicate that they regret voting for trump. Alittle too little too late, it seems. They aren't as dumb as the comic artist paints them in that sense, just unempathetic.

Yet people still decided who to vote for & who not to vote against. People still hold responsibility for their vote or failure to vote: they knew who Trump was. They'd seen his shit before.

Also, why do you think the guy in the trucker hat is a leftist?
