You expect me to believe trump can throw a punch?

Biden is not responsible for what Trump is doing. He is responsible for letting it happen. He failed to fight maga during the 4 years he had all the powers to do it.

To be accurate, it is not a fault, it is a failure. His responsibility is on this failure, not anything else.

Damn… I’m going to keep “not a fault, it’s a failure” in my back pocket. I’ve never heard it put that way when discussing a screw up that wasn’t really someone’s fault (in this case Biden, but could be Dems or even situations not politics related)

I feel being critical without blaming unfairly is a huge part of my personality, and so this type of convo actually comes up kinda frequently in my life, since so many people struggle to see gray areas between right and wrong, at fault and not at fault.

But what you said is a perfect way to better ensure that the meaning doesn’t get lost to blaming, after which the conversation is usually a lost cause.

There is something there, but I don't know about Biden being the main focus. It feels like a little mini civil war where after the US Civil War for a very brief moment we had African American politicians, leaders, businesses, and equality seemed at least possible. Then you have the KKK and white supremacy pop up and it's all gone. We had a brief run with what felt like some equality or equitable society, and then a big white supremacist movement came up and they are moving hell and earth to drag us back to the 1770s

the powers trump is using now is not actual presidential powers and I would not see it used by their guys or ours. congress is the one who could have stopped this. mainly back when trump was in office and going through with the impeachment.

The Democrats are a cesspool themselves, but at least they don't flaunt screwing you over.

Tell that to the kids who visited Pelosi at her office

Guys, this comic is a jab at conservatives, and is poking fun at how they're going to respond to getting screwed by Trump. The comic is positing that conservatives will just blame Democrats (usually their leader specifically), as they've done since time immemorial. These exact types of comics have been around since Reagan, they're all the same comic. The last big one was the "thanks Obama" meme, where Obama is blamed for every stupid little thing.

This isn't a comic about leftists blaming Biden. It's about the bull headedness and obtuse nature of conservatives.

Now we need a version with the guy wearing a "don't vote" cap and saying "this is all the Dems fault".

When someone robs your house, you blame the robbers. When the police refuse to do anything about it and you get robbed again by the same person 4 years later, you blame the police.

I blame the robbers for robbing my house and the police for not doing their jobs. I don't blame the police for robbing my house.
