      That problem is the same I’ve faced talking to people. They distrust science and anything that disagrees with what they have been told by trusted people in their tribes (often church). That’s what makes this message effective.

        That’s the whole schtick with faith: it’s belief without evidence, by definition.

        Anyone prepared to have faith in anything is ripe for exploitation, by anyone.

        Churchies self-select for exploitation.

          You know 45% of Christians vote for Democrats, right? I think that was last election, I haven’t checked the recent one, but it’s a large fraction.

          I know Christians have done a lot of damage, and the evil ones are incredibly loud. It’s still weird how some atheists think that only blithering idiots exist in religions.

            … And the other 55%? The majority?

            And you’re taking a national ratio which is meaningless with a system like the electoral college.

            It’s still weird how some atheists think that only blithering idiots exist in religions.

            Look! We found one!

        NGL, I went to their website to see what kind of content creator they were before posting, because it really could be taken either way, which is a pretty sad reflection of the state of things right now.

    This…isn’t funny. This is just a repeat of what we’ve seen on the news. This is literally the trump-era-SNL of comic strips.

    Is this drawn by the same people who drew the Clerks animated series on ABC like 25 years ago? Damn show only aired 2 episodes, but eventually released all 6 produced episodes on dvd later.

    And, even though the animated show was in color, this comic is in true clerks style…black and white.

    But, to be fair, Dante would NEVER vote for trump, Randal wouldn’t vote, and Jay & Silent Bob would have just been in jail by 2024.
