Just a comic, but there is something to this. I think it comes down to what you see as an exception and what you see as the rule. Carol might be the "good exception" for them, while "ThE mEXiCaNS!," in general, are evil and eat pets or whatever. Maybe Carol was even the "I'm not a racist, my friend is mexican" friend.

I even have people in my life (not that I chose to) who are immigrants themselves, came to my country for economic prosperity, and now hate new immigrants.

This comic is about Republicans not breaking their ranks over minor issues like economy or immigration. Trump can destroy the country but they will still vote Republican because voting Democrat is not an option for them.

Same bewilderment as adherents to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_materialism express for the behavior of Democrats.

Loving all the Easter eggs in this. Bob Loblaw’s Law Blog, rats drinking and playing darts, beaker, my little pony tattoo, kpop demon hunters jacket, other guy up the tree, kid trapped in the window, all 50% off signs now 50% off… the detail is wild and I’m here for it - bet there’s heaps more too.

Also with a sign for a potluck, where things of different origins and tastes are literally mixed together

The median voter is batshit insane. This has been true since ~1787.

The best argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with an average voter.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 13 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

And the best argument for democracy is a 5 minute conversation about every other form of government.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 2 points 2 hours ago

Only that we have republics and not democracies.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

To paraphrase Churchill. Democracy is a terrible system of government, shame it's the best we've created thus far.

@PugJesus@piefed.social They're only upset that the policy affected a single person. Other than that single individual they see as human, they're cheering.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

And Carol is a worthy sacrifice for the potential to hurt the people they want.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 8 hours ago

They lack any capacity to care about any injustice unless it DIRECTLY effects themselves.

Why Beaker hiding in that tree tho

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 5 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

No questions about the rat playing darts tho

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

They seem chill.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Bars are where you play darts. What is there to question?

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

And treeholes is where you hide.

But if the rapture is on Monday, who's going to the potluck on Tuesday?
