Steve Kelley for November 04, 2021

No Kelley, its just the Republicans who are racists, sexists, homophobic…

Kelley is absolutely right. Anyone who can’t stand the truth always votes Republican.

Unfortunately, this seems to be cartoon truish. The donkey is speaking truth (harshly). The family doesn’t like that, so they’ll vote for liars who embrace some of those things and are actively working to overthrow our democratic process.

One trouble is Democrat are not as good with slogans as the GOP are. Like Defund the Police. GOP make up chants that sound targets their base, Simple words for simple minds.

Time to worry, Dems? Headline – Biden’s approval rating is now lower than any other modern president

SKelley sure knows how to set up the strawman argument put out by Republicans.

They’re voting Republican because they admire those traits.

Alternative reply: “Sounds good to us. We’ll just stroll over to the GOP Info-Ganda Booth for some of that, and neat red kiddie caps, too.”

Too bad the hate-spewing Left is going down in flames….keep bellowing, because it only helps elect decent people….

Yep! It was all of that you said. Good toon Kelly. Democrats continually perpetuate the race, sexist, and homophobic ,etc. narratives to pretend they care for them, just to gain support to further their so called “caring for the oppressed” agendas to get funding for their pet projects. They continue to use this ploy as they have for decades. Americans are a lot smarter and better informed these days. Dem rhetoric and getting caught up in their own lies didn’t work this time did it!

Racism exists in most Americans in one form or another, but it seems like the Republicans are more likely to be vocal about it. Most Americans want to try and fix the problems it causes not use race to cause further division and repression.

For once you are right Kelley, Americans cannot face the truth.

They are proud of their attributes – they’re upset at anybody who is not equally proud of them…

Great strip, Mr. Kelley. Keep ticking off those Dems!

You have to recognize a problem before you can fix it.

America freed the slaves. America ended de jure segregation. America elected a Black President. Are we done? No, not yet. But, in the words of Martin Luther King, we are bending toward justice.

It’s hard not to scream “Injustice!” when it’s still all around us. But sometimes a softer touch is needed:

For white people, recognizing that we have privilege can be a start:

The great German poet Friedrich Schiller wrote of universal brotherhood:

Freude, schöner Götterfunken

Tochter aus Elysium,

Wir betreten feuertrunken,

Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!

Deine Zauber binden wieder

Was die Mode streng geteilt;

Alle Menschen werden Brüder,

Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.

Ludwig van Beethoven set it to words, and a Jew leading a German orchestra and chorus performed it in the shadow of the Brandenburg Gate:

Surely, there is cause for hope?

When speaking to the privileged, telling them there’s something that needs fixing isn’t as appealing as telling them they are wonderful and deserve everything good.

Nobody wants to hear the truth.

Exactly.

@Say What Now – actually it is the Democrats and always has been!
