Only two months after Hitler took power the first concentration camps opened. The inmates were the opponents of the Nazi regime. The MAGA Führer has already spoken of his intent to invoke the Insurrection Act and proclaim a “temporary” dictatorship, called those who oppose him “vermin,” and promised mass arrests and detention camps. His followers tell us he’s just exaggerating or kidding. I don’t see the joke.
I had a strange thought (well one stranger than normal) that it was a very good thing we had a civil war. Base in the opinion that more of the low class with the lowest brain cell do most of the drying. Can you now imagine how bad our political system if those people had not been removed. Not only would we have the problems we now have plus we would still have those who believe in slavery.
If anyone is put in one of Dementia Don’s camps, it would be good advice to stay away from the showers. It might not be water lines they’re connected to.
Protest votes are fine in primaries. They can work to send a message while not endangering the outcome.
In the general, however, there are only two choices. A free democracy or the orange dictatorship. Not voting is a vote for dictatorship. Voting third party is a vote for dictatorship. Vote blue — or you’re voting for a dictatorship.
All it took was a major crisis like the Reichstag fire and Hindenburg’s consent to rule by decree. Would our democratic institutions endure? They did in 1941 against the German-American Bund. Don’t be complacent!
Time to git tuff, people with fortitude-back values, time to cut out the whining and the poo-pooing and encourage your neighbors to do the right thing and vote for Biden, time to stand up and face the cowards.
Dear GoComics, can you please remove the post where the troll puts a “K” in my name? That’s seriously uncool and pretty slanderous. I flagged it and I encourage everyone else to flag it. There’s no context for it.
As for Swampy, the Democratic Party did make a woman its nominee. Fact-check yourself.
And to the ding-dong who says I got details wrong, please enlighten us and tell us which details.
Exactly, Clay. Any member of any “minority” group needs to think long and hard before voting for a person who has promised mass deportations, concentration camps on “unused land” for homeless people and others he doesn’t like, removing birthright citizenship, weaponizing the DOJ, purging the federal bureaucracy of anyone who isn’t loyal to him, and “going after” anyone he thinks has wronged him. They also need to think long and hard before abstaining from voting for Biden because he isn’t perfect. Your life will not improve under Trump, I promise you.
Once again, Swampy is being dishonest and incapable of comprehension. Those firefighters will not be sought out and educated for opposing Letitia James, but for turning a non-partisan event into something political. And it became more than political, it became cultist. It was a violation of department regulations. Most government employees are not allowed to participate in politics while at work. This is a common practice.
You left this part out: “Nobody is hunting anyone down. We’re looking into those who clearly broke department regulations,” said spokesman Jim Long. “It has nothing to do with politics. It’s about professionalism at an official event held in a house of worship.”You also left out that James was invited to speak at the event to honor her friend, The Rev. Pamela Holmes, who was being sworn in as the department’s second female chaplain and the first Black woman to hold that title, and the event was held in a church, the Christian Cultural Center’s Brooklyn Campus.
Hitler’s SS guards in the death camps would taunt incoming Jewish prisoners by calling them “snowflakes”, referring to the ash falling like snow from the crematoriums operating 24/7.
I’ve seen some inhuman creeps right here on go comics who would gladly volunteer to taunt those hapless inmates.
The “camps” (they are designed to hold vast numbers of people – hundreds of thousands, at least) will, at least initially, primarily be for dark-complected people who cannot prove their citizenship (notice to all named Garcia, Sanchez, de Sousa, Ali, Mohammad, Rashid or Romero) you are carrying your “identity” papers, aren’t you?
Now, probably by year 5 or possibly 6 or 7 or the new Trump “presidency” we’ll all have government identity cards, (or tattoos on our arms) and won’t have to bother with such nonsense…
Silly boy, you might be thinking, they’ll just inject a code transmitter like we do now with our pets… to which I reply, not likely, given their great antipathy to needles as shown by their “anti-vax” philosophy, although. since “they” wouldn’t be getting the injections, that IS a possibility.
This toon is related to another of today’s GC that had relevant posts.

FIRST THEY CAME FOR…
“First they came …" (German: Zuerst kamen sie …) is the poetic form of a 1946 post-war confessional prose by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984).
You can get the narrative and poem in Wikipedia. I had forgotten this part about that pastor.
“Martin Niemöller was a German Lutheran pastor and theologian born in Lippstadt, Germany, in 1892. Niemöller was an anti-Communist and supported Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. But when, after Hitler rose to power and insisted on the supremacy of the state over religion, Niemöller became disillusioned.”
If the Demented Fat Orange got a second term the pastor would be the historical predecessor of a MAGAt in 2028. Except that today’s MAGAts would still try to blame the Dems for being worse off than they are today in 2024. They are the same people who refuse to believe that their economic status and healthcare is better now than it was in 2020.
Just to be clear so that a false equivalency is not made by any of the Crayzee Criztians aka “Evangelicals* with a talking Johnson”, the separation of church and state is not the same as one having supremacy over the other.
Note*: I have a MAGAt sister with an internet Reverend title who is very proud of her association with that group.
Oh look its brainless reactionary and insulting right wing trolls Fern Bores and DC Swamp with AR-15s forcing pregnant women to come to full term.
Clay Jones did not even know he was on GoComics until I pointed it out to him on Facebook. Lousy job of publicity on your part.
Terresa Burritt of Frog Applause has always mentioned in her letters to me that gocomics employees are sneaky and not to be trusted.

Republicans want to ban contraceptives and and ban abortion and they hate gay people and want to force any pregnant woman to come to full term, republicans are determined to interfere with USA sex lives, I hope the sexists get trounced in Roevember.
Sex cartels during the GWB years were bad says Katie Britt who then encourages people to vote for adjudicated rapist Trump.
Chubb Insurance Company is paying Trump’s legal bills. The Traitor who wants to to be a dictator and turn the USA into Russia. Republicans are total traitors.
Today crazy fascist Trump called Biden full of hate and then mocked his stutter. The leader of the republican Putin party is a 12 year old bully.
248+ years to grow and become a great nation and one screwball takes less than 3 years to flush it down the drain.

Nehemiah Scudder was a backwoods televangelist who received huge funding from one of his converted, teamed up with a former Senator, and turned the United States into a theocracy. Partial quote from the last page of Revolt in 2100 by Robert Heinlein: "…Presently they needed stormtroopers; they revived the Ku Klux Klan in all but name…It was a “good gimmick” once and it still served. Blood at the polls and blood in the streets, but Scudder won the election. The next election was never held." It troubles me that 70-80 million American voters would apparently be content with this situation.

The blue hat texts are interesting. From the (ahem) left: VOTE, PRESS…, BLM, EQUAL RIGHTS
And of course this ’toon makes the assumption that Biden will have lost the election.
