      While complaining that the reason no one’s helping is because we’re all to busy helping the <insert marginalised group epithet>

      I thought it needed a third panel where a neoliberal comes and says “We need to make sure perfectly healthy legs never get hurt.”

      Also needs a Democrat saying they should be tested for drugs and make sure they don’t make too much money.

          This is true! It just seems like the comic is specifically pointing at Republicans.

          I mean, these specific laws and regulations aren’t a case where both-sidesism is a distraction. Both sides have put authored, advanced and passed legislation curtailing the rights of the disabled because they “receive” slightly more Medicare money that their insurance pays to hospitals than standard Statesian health insurance, thus proving the disabled in statesia have neither need nor desire for material goods or services offered through a traditional economy.

    My manager was denied an increase is disability benefits today by the VA. Literally the next sentence was “If you’re an illegal though you get everything free.”

      If you ask “where did you read that?” the response will probably be that they were talking about it on fox news or OAN. Or maybe Twitter propagandists. Illegals can’t receive welfare or food stamps or anything like that. You need a social security number, or at least proof that you’ve applied for one. People with temporary legal status receive a temporary SSN, so if they overstay their work visa and become illegal, they also lose that SSN.

      Your manager could easily google these things, and the fact that he confidently spouts bullshit without even bothering to ask AI to verify first says a lot about him both as a manager and as a human being.

    My aunt asked me why she should give blood. I said in case someone needs it. She said “do you think they’d do the same for me?”. I was like uhm…yes. People are giving blood all the time in case you might need it

      Yes, that’s true, but these specific legs need the focus and the attention right now because they keep getting shot by cops at a way higher rate than any other legs. That’s just too long to be a slogan on a banner or whatever. You’re not dumb enough to legitimately be confused about this, so quit being pedantic.

      (I know you’re kidding; this is just what I’m saying to people who actually say shit like that with a straight face.)

          That’s what makes it such a checkmate statement. They either admit that they’re full of shit racists or they double down and admit that they’re really fucking dumb. That used to be the difference between conservative politicians and conservative voters. The voters just got so dumb that they started voting in voter-type dumbass conservatives like MTG and Boebert.

    Republicans pass up no opportunity to deride the post office and they defund it/depopulate it every chance they get. I was just at the post office, huge post office in a major metro that’s always been very busy. It now has only one of three buildings open, half the lights off inside it and one clerk at the counter. The line is always out the door. Meanwhile several people in line, quite obviously Republicans (old, white, obnoxious/noisy), are bitching and moaning about how shit the post office is. Republicans are stupid, shitty, worthless people.

      They’re like children who don’t understand cause and effect. Or like a dog that eats a bunch of grass and then is utterly surprised when it throws up later.

      I’m always like what did you expect to happen.
