Eric Allie for June 25, 2024

Sure Eric, the far left is the big problem in America. [sigh]

I thought this was a Joey toon, then realized the art was better. Otherwise…

Far-Right Militias Pose Greatest Threat to US National Security. I call BS on your BS, Eric Allie.

Far Left Extremists pose a safety concern. Riots, looting, breaking out windows of small business owners, blowing up cars and other vandalism among their own communities during the 2020 riots is an unfortunate example.

The dog here labeled “Far Left” appears to be foaming at the mouth, i.e., rabid. Dogs thus infected are usually killed, not out of anger or hatred or as a matter of justice, but simply as a matter of hygiene for the sake of the human community. (There’s a well-known fictional example in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird.) Is this toon advocating a similar response to the “far left,” perhaps as personified by the group of congressional representatives known as “the squad”? There’s a passage in Plato (the philosopher, not the troll: Protagoras 322c-d) in which Zeus decrees that response to sociopathy, defined as an inability to partake of dikē (justice, right) and aidōs (respect, shame). Now where on the American political spectrum do we find such inability?

Where’s the frothy mouthed orange cur?

Too late, Donkey.

Pathetic offering from Allie—-as usual.

Allie and his MAGA crowd are the ones dragging the country down to Trump’s level.

I was in Ferguson, and it was “mostly” peaceful. There were incidents that were violent and they were reported. I wasn’t there for them, so I don’t know how accurately, but I was with my group from Occupy and we saw nothing that wasn’t peaceful. Same is true of Jan 6th. Most of the people who were there were not involved in any violence, and quite likely weren’t even aware that it was happening. That doesn’t mean violence didn’t happen in either instance.

The difference is that no Democrats instigated or encouraged violence. None were in a position to stop it and failed to do so. No Democratic politician sent out tweets encouraging people to " Be there, It’s going to be wild" No democratic politician held an event that, when told that people were carrying guns, instructed secret service protecting him to " Let them in, they aren’t here to hurt ME". And no Democrat instructed those same people to march on the Congressional building and “Fight like hell, or you won’t have a county anymore.”

It just isn’t valid to assume that any violence that isn’t Republican sponsored must by default be sponsored by Democrats.

Just curious, I wonder what Allie considers “The Far Left”.

Strong labor unions? A high standard of medical care for women and children? Exceptional public education? A demand that our leaders behave in an ethical, moral way?

And how does ANY of this relate to a rabid, wild, out of control hellbeast?

Yes, the far end of both sides can appear like that. The point is how we reckon with them. The far-left hate Biden and the far right venerate Trump. Because of that, the far left will continue to be marginalized and of limited influence. Whereas the far right will continue to be embraced and used to set tone and policy.

The left of today makes Obama appear centrist and Bill Clinton a conservative.

Quite telling that a right-winger can not fathom an organization that has members with diverse views. Must be in lock-step and follow the Dear Leader, right?

Name something from the far left.

The Confederate insurrectionist party of extremist right wing felon Trump the would be dictator is dangerous to humanity.

Eric, define the agenda of the “far left” that President Biden is being dragged by.

Trump and Repub House state they want more tax cuts for the corporations and the wealthy. They want to cut Social Security and Medicare. Trump offered even more tax cuts and removing regulations on fossil fuels if those execs gave him a billion in campaign funds.

There was a BIPARTISAN bill to address the border and Ukraine funding, but YOUR orange menace told the Repubs that it was more important that President Biden Didn’t get a “win”.

Far left = education and medical access for USA citizens, something the right opposes.

When did projection become the only thing that trumpublicans can do? The right is clearly the side in the US that has been taken over by extremists. See January 6th 2021 and the way all elected trumpublicans speak about it today for the only proof you need of that.

Nonsense. Who stormed the Capitol again?

And down goes Bowman to a mainstream Democrat, harshing your hallucinations.

Allie believes that anyone who does not want to eliminate Social Security and Medicare are “Far Left”.

And “Hang Mike Pence” is centrist.

Trump Disciple analysis skills.

The far-right has a larger dog

I came here not to view the comic, but to read the comments.

They are usually funnier than the comic and have become entertainment to me— so much Progressive anger, so much free time. Please do continue.

The idiot fringe of the democrat party isn’t doing as well in the primaries as the idiot fringe of the Republican party is!
