Randall's done several about climate change, more back when climate change denial was more widespread

Or just check the tag for "politics" on explainXKCD. Randall's endorsed political candidates before as well as generally shown a general libertarian and later left-leaning bent

Oh also this one relatively recently was pretty fun

Yeah but saying climate change is real and vaccines work should not be a political statement, it's just reality and science.

Making a comic about a person hopes and dreams being truncated by being kidnapped by the government, now that's a statement.
