    True. Now that the Trump is not in the spotlight, Republicans can go back to what they do best: Obstructing Democrats.

    The Dems are trying to fix the country, the republicans hate that.

    Apparently, Scott Stantis had this cartoon prepared before Biden gave his live town hall before an audience of real people in Milwaukee asking questions and getting thoughtful, detailed and, yes, empathetic responses from our new president.

    Wrathful? The little girl standing next to her mother, who asked about vaccinations, got a tender, gentle response.

    Wrathful? The TRUMP SUPPORTING business owner who worried about the effects of Biden’s proposed minimum wage increases got a thoughtful, detailed and RESPECTFUL response that also expressed acknowledgment of the business owner’s concern and the ways in which any changes would be phased in to make it easier to absorb and to rise commensurate with the overall economic benefit that invariably comes with appropriate increases in minimum wage and offset the economic pressures on small business owners.

    Wrathful? The TRUMP SUPPORTER who asked about “defund the police” got a thoughtful answer that expressed support for law enforcement, rejecting the wording of defunding the police, talked about the ways in which Biden wanted to strengthen support for law enforcement (unlike those who cry “law and order” while inciting insurrections that kill uniformed officers) and balanced that with the need for reforms.

    Wrathful? There were no verbal “mean tweets,” no name calling, no personal attacks, and none of the vicious Trump vengeance we have suffered under for the last four years. When Texas got hit with problems because deregulation, privatization and quitting the interstate grid apparently left them unprepared for cold weather that many places deal with routinely, and had to beg for aid, Biden did not scold them for not having voted for him, did not demand their governor “say nice things” about him — he just approved the aid.

    Biden pledged to be the president for all the people, whether they voted for him or not, and is acting quickly to live up to that standard.

    So wonderful to have a REAL PRESIDENT again.

    Anyway, why would someone feel wrathful about an attempt to violently overthrow the government of the United States?

    And, there was no lasting damage, right?

    Political opinions aside, just look at that incredibly lazy copy and paste job in the first panel. Barely any attempt to make the figures fit in with the background. How much original art does Allie do for this strip, as opposed to hitting CTRL-C/CTRL-V?

    Ok, I’ll give some slack for her to resume her character now that we’re in normal times. Well, until the next Q uprising…

    I think “whiny” would be a better word for her to use here.

    Things sound pretty wrathful here. Although, fearful and repetitive would be more accurate. Remember : when the going gets tough, the tough hide behind the police. Afterall it’s to stab the police in the back that way.

    Carmen’s wrathful that the nanny state is back, and might help people who look like her. It’s as if Carmen is actually a synthetic figurehead for a viewpoint that aims to marginalize and punish her people.
