Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 19, 2024

That explains MAGAts.

I expected something like “In 1853, Dan discovered that this creek was much deeper than it looked.”

Never anything so true! Almost the 30’s Germany

Yes, I’m starting to get history and current events mixed up because we keep doing the same stupid things.

Let’s all just go and jump on a horse.

Exactly – we don’t have to remember what happened last time – but some of us still do..

If you’ve forgotten it, how can you be sure you used to know it?

“History is Bunk.” — Henry Ford

Greek chorister-like, at times Lucy serves as quite the detached and observant commentator on the human condition.

For all that, Danae is kind of a genius.

Concord MA is cancelling some historical roadside markers.

Is it fair to assume that some group who has never been in the situation depicted is offended by actions, persons, or events they would rather not learn about and wish had never happened?

Danae’s philosophy: ignorance is safety. Everyone else knows that is false logic but she has yet to learn. And that ‘portable entertainment center’ she always carries is more likely to delay the dawn than to enlighten her any time soon.

The actual quotation (from George Santayana) is “Those who ignore the lesson of the past, will be doomed to repeat it.”

And yet the democrats are the most bigoted and racist

That explains Progressives.

Almost EVERYTHING happened before young people were born. ☻☺

Ever notice the biggest trolls are “premium members”?

The right wingers and their Dear Leader, Trump love the uneducated. It’s why they are intent upon dismantling public education

This is why they don’t teach the horrors of communism, so the power hungry can try it again

No, I don’t think this strip is cynical; do you?

Ignorance = arrogance.

It is dang scary!

Strange, it feel’s like I’ve been getting it from this administration fothe last 4 years. Time for a change. Oh look, another billion dollars just left for Ukraine.

Explains why socialism is perennially popular.

Simple, you say. Reminds me of the ironic aphorism “For any given complex, expensive, time-consuming problem there exists at least one simple, cheap, easy wrong answer.”

I didn’t expect Danae to be so cynical (or is she just an airhead?).

“In 1853, a smart-ass young girl died riding her horse on a log over this gully.”

Santayana: Those who don’t learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

Need Coffee: Those who do learn from history are condemned to repeat it, because we’re outnumbered by those who don’t learn from history.

Her poor dad must be wondering why he bothers sending her to school if she’s this willfully ignorant.

Keeping people ignorant makes it easier to control them.

I guess that is one reason why some politicians are against education.

Hey, Wiley – whatever happened to Wolfgirl? She needs a bit of ink.

Speaking of historical events…

Dabney Coleman, actor who specialized in curmudgeons, dies at 92

Dabney Coleman, the character actor who specialized in smarmy villains like the chauvinist boss in ‘9 to 5’, has died

Some people are simply incapable or unwilling to learn, period. Maga.

Among other things, yes. That’s why the United States of Amnesia keeps falling for the same con over and over again. The only thing worse than ignorance or willful amnesia is rewriting history or, worse yet, your own memory.

And still the same politicians get re-elected

The K.I.S.S. Principle?

Give me a good show.

Currently reading LAST HOPE ISLAND, by Lynne Olson

Apparently a lot of people did not learn a thing 2017-2020

MAGA-toids forgot nothing good happend for the working class under the entire Dumbold Chump tyranny. The wealthy, however, benefited greatly…or should I use “bigly” for those who take Stupidium?

“History is bunk!” – Henry Ford.

Amen, Lucy. Amen.

Clarifies a lot of things, really. After all, a smart man learns from his mistakes. A wise man learns from other people’s mistakes.

Oh, ok – you’ve completely changed my mind!

On this site in 1792, absolutely nothing happened

That explains Bluehats and their voting for dementia Joe and the clueless Kamala. As the famous democrat Forrest says stupid is as stupid does.
