Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I remember thinking they wouldn't vote for trump the first time and when they did, nothing since has surprised me. Well, maybe the speed with how Trump has taken on his second term was a bit of a surprise, but other than that, I fully expected America to turn their backs on Europe when (not if) they elected trump again.
My boyfriend told me that they would never elect trump again because of what he did with the abortion stuff and I just shrugged and said that they don't give a fuck about women's productive rights over there. They already have decades of religious indoctrination and an anti solidarity/anti social way of treating citizens and the citizens vote for that systematically.
I don't know the intricacies of American politics at all. I just call a spade a spade when I see it.
As for the UK... well, they are their own mess. The rest of Europe has started to skew far right too and I hate every fucking second of it. I hate extreme politics. I feel like there has been no normal, level-headed discussions for the past ten years. I am just buckling down for a shitty ride the next decade or so.
