I'm going to give several vision-impaired individuals several poison and blade-tipped saxophones and violins, then I will stand up against a wall and tell them to have at er.

Just over a year ago, progressives and Democratic voters had a chance to really change things - to reform not just the Democratic party, but the country as well. Establishment Politics was the theme of Election 2016, and the Established Left shot themselves in the foot trying to stamp out the revolution.
They blew an election that they should have had in the bag.
Meanwhile, American progressives, in their march towards acceptance and equality, found themselves unsatisfied with all of the accomplishments they had made over the last eight years and actually began to alienate those to the right by entitling themselves to a brand of political correctness so far ahead of its time that even the moderates found themselves unable to defend it. Identity politics mixed with a right-wing paranoia of losing cultural control and created the Alt-Right, a band of misfits and misanthropes who not only delighted in triggering the left into abandoning their civility, but were masters of navigating the means to do so.
Winning that election empowered them to come out in full force and declare their pride in revisionist monuments to dead men who fought on the wrong side of history; a history that the cities they reside in have finally begun to evolve beyond. But it wasn't enough to show up in a sea of blinding whiteness. They came out in full cosplay as the one thing the left hates most.
And the progressives, so easily distracted, didn't take this opportunity to reexamine their ideology or the political party that had cannibalized itself in vain. They didn't try to figure out where they went wrong or why they lost. Instead, the radicals shouted "Hey, everyone! Look at the Nazis!"
And they looked.

I understand that you're all hungry for another comic, but I can't just release them minute after minute. Be patient.

You cry foul at the discourse around here going right down the shitter when you seem to have made it your mission to make just about every thread you post in a a little meaner and nastier. I left because you yourself were making every discussion suck to be in,and now you're the one complaining that meanness and nastiness have become normalized. You bemoan the supposed drop in critical thinking around here, when you were the one attacking anyone who brought up a different idea than yours with sarcasm and snark, because rational discussion and debate with us barbarians was somehow now beneath your dignity, and insults were the only thing our puny minds would comprehend apparently. ANd the worst part is you're so insulated from the fact that you may have crossed a line, that the only reason no one's brought this up before now is that you so stubbornly refuse to even contemplate that you could be an asshole IN ANY context, and occupy any position other than that of supreme moral authority and knowledge, that its easier to just scroll on past your attempts to bait whoever happens to have irked you today rather than deal with your constant shitflinging. You sowed these seeds, enjoy your harvest.
I think I'm going to assume that the thread title chosen reflects the new tenor of the forum.
Have fun with that!
We need RWHN now more than ever. Because he's the hero PD deserves, but not the one it needs right now, so we'll troll him. Because he can take it, because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Great Father.
