Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The Republican party is a cult - especially the cult of Trump. All these grifters selling hate to conservatives have made it that much harder to convince them when they're wrong, and the odds of them doubling down on those beliefs when they are challenged get more and more likely the deeper in they are. There's a point where it becomes almost impossible to pull people out of a cult and there's largely no line that they won't convince themselves that it's okay to cross.
I think that's where we're at and have been at for quite a while. Republicans convince themselves that they're the good guys fighting the good fight against whatever the party tells them is bad, and believe that their bigotry and hate is justified.
