Oh man it does drive me crazy people, especially politicians, seem to lack any sort of empathy and hold certain views but then they themselves or a family member cause them to experience something and only then can they understand. This is the most mild expression of the solidarity of the common man around recent news items I think I have seen while still being a powerful statement.
@JennieBreeden I have been posting your current days comics because I did not think you were active outside mastadon, but I saw a post yesterday of an older one. Let me know if you prefer I don't and I will stop. I will likely eventually stop anyway if/when I find a new job.
Sounds like you did understand it though but did not accept it. I mean you work backwards. He hit the guy. why did he hit the guy. well the last thing he said are ceos are innocent victims. what did he do before that. just agreed. I can't claim to understand folks that voted for trump but I have seen video interviews and its amazing how many hate corporations and their ceos. Now i can't follow their "logic" but it is there. I have seen it. In addition this artist grew up in the south (the comic is like a diary so like 20+ years of her life is drawn out in the archives) so she likely knew these types of people. The comic also makes it clear she is pretty much athiest or at best agnostic but grew up in some sort of christian denomination. Im pretty sure some folks take on religious folks would not jive with her takes on them. Its really an experiencial type of thing.
