The Presidential Election, According To The Comics Industry

[Comicsfan101]

Totally disagree.

Unless you're referring to anonymous internet trolls who claim so and so should be killed for their treason, there are plenty of public, well-known officials and personalities on the right who frequently use violent rhetoric and calls for revolution. The only dude on the left I've heard anything remotely similar from is that nut Grayson from Florida.

You are, of course, welcome to disagree. I said nothing about prominant personalities, though, and, if you're going to attempt to deny violent outbursts from the left over the last 10-15 years, I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you.

I honestly don't know about those. Enlighten me.

Jesus Land was Micheal Moore's epic online meltdown, suggesting that the blue states secede from the red states aka Jesus Land
"I/We are sorry" was a series of pic postings and video postings on the internet of liberals apologizing to the world that they "allowed" Bush to be reelected.

There was a genuine controversy over the 2000 Florida vote counts. That's a thing that happened.
But no one believes there was error in 2004. Everyone knows Kerry lost because he had as much inspiring charisma as a peanut.

Putting "Bush Stolen 2004 election" in Google nets 2,890,000 hits. Some pro some con. Hardly nobody
Also the controversy comes from the Florida Supreme Court, unbidden, inserting itself into the debacle. The Supreme Court basically ruled that the Florida Supreme Court had no constitutional right to insert itself, and the election would stand as certified thus ending the recounts. Gore conceded the day after

Except that one side of the isle [sic] doesn't demand we take up arms and storm Washington.

Comicsfan101 has already addressed this. But let me ask one question. Was the there actually any violence? I do recall that any violent incident was blamed on right wingers, then it was discovered the criminal was the furthest thing from a right winger.

Both sides want death, whether it's fetuses, criminals, immigrants or zombies.
How about an option that opposes all death?
Or better yet, how about an option that is FOR all death? (Give me Thanos!)

Yeah I don't get how one side can be "pro-life" for abortion and then "pro-death" for things like capital punishment, gun control, military, etc.

There's - arguably - art for art's sake, and there's art you sell to pay the mortgage.

And there's a significant overlap.

Not to mention the fact that fiscal conservatism and social conservatism are two drastically different concepts that have merged into the modern Republican party. The problem becomes the fact that, when viewing Republicans, many people are unable to separate the two and assume anybody who's for reduced government spending and free market is against marriage equality and reproductive rights. This is the fault of all the loud noises coming out of people like Palin and Trump. Much as it pains me to admit, I almost miss the Bush era GOP at this point. Sure, they were incompetent, but at least their talking heads didn't appear to be outright evil.

I can especially see artists as being the type to be socially liberal yet fiscally conservative, especially in context of many creator rights advocates. Liefeld's remarks in particular seem to follow that notion.

You really can't see why someone would believe there to be a difference between killing a baby (which they do believe the fetus to be, regardless of anyone's else's opinion on the subject) and killing a murderer? Because I have to say, I wouldn't have to believe the difference to be able to see it pretty clearly.

Here's some more crazy from D. Trump:

It doesn't matter, they're both rooted in the whole "sanctity of life" ideology, which they only believe in in a very flexible manner.
