The most realistic part of this is the liberal just watching it happen and taking no steps to stop him or save the boat.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (3 children)

if he was a politician he wouldn't say anything either.

[–] Guns0rWeD13@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (33 children)

there needs to be a third guy, the radical leftist, who blames it all on the liberal for not doing anything.

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (16 children)

The third leftist is complaining the entire time about how they are going to get their own boat, even though there are no supplies and they are in the middle of the ocean.

We can't do anything about the boat sinking gun, or try and take it away from the boat sinker, because that would be against good decorum. Don't worry though, we've thrown that guy who called the boat sinker a fuckhead off the boat. We have to take the high road and follow the rules or who knows what the boat sinker will do next. We'll calmly convince them to lower the amount of holes they put in the boat while cmpromising by understanding that some of those holes were needed.

Vote for us, and we'll only put a few holes in the boat

"I'm going to not vote in protest because I think they didn't patch the previous holes fast enough! Better give the psychopath the gun again. Sinking everyone's boat will surely send a message."

do not worry, the boat sinker is just having an irrational tantrum right now. surely, after seeing us calmly reason things out, they'll retrospect and see the error in their ways!

Needs to end with "why didn't you try harder to tell me to stop"

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago

"I didn't shoot for this"

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

So many about dudebro influences all ''I didn't think he'd fuck ME in the ass!!!'' Fucking assholes.

I would love to hear a response to this from a thoughtful and respectful Trump supporter but I haven’t been able to find any of those.

Because to me it seems spot on but I wonder if I’m missing something.

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 29 points 4 days ago

I think the current line is that "we have to go through a ~~rec~~depression and then you'll all see when it's over what a great plan this was!"

Hope they like being factory workers with no rights who die early of preventable illnesses.

'The last panel should read "at least the lib died first"

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

Even though he didn't.

Basically the covid insanity in a nutshell. "the vaccine and masks will kill you", contracts covid and dies.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 22 points 4 days ago (7 children)

What's the democratic party leadership in this analogy? Are they suggesting we use a knife to cut holes in the boat instead of a gun?

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

damn i had a good microblog meme about this stored on my phone but i can't find it now. i'll try to replicate it from memory:


republicans: minorities are evil. their destroying our country and we must take their basic rights away.

democrats: (chuckles) *they're

They sternly ask the bullets to slow down

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

That's a little too much effort. Maybe in 2017. In 2025 if feels like they're all trying to make sure there is a place for them as politicians within our new fascist regime. Not sure where that fits into the analogy. But it's seriously how it feels.

The career democracts and "leaders" are staying in the background and gladly letting Bernie, AoC, etc be the inevitable political targets for the fascist. Later they can serve them up on a plate to offer to the fascist as a sacrifice.

That's the only explanation I have for what we're seeing from the democratic party.

Edit: Oh yeah and the absolute wet noodle that is Chuck Schumer. He makes a statement every once in awhile with the level of energy that Joe Biden's rotting corpse would have.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You don't have to get that deep into it. The DNC is the other guy on the boat; did nothing to try and stop the shooting, is doing nothing to stop the sinking, and is honestly so irrelevant to what's happening that you can only see them in half the panels.

[–] Guns0rWeD13@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

It's all of us, not just the DNC
