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.
Are police also "responsible" for "letting crime happen"? I don't understand the reasoning here.
See how long you last as police chief if you choose to not suppress crime.
So yeah, police are explicitly responsible for minimising crime, that’s literally their job.
I admit there’s some nuance there since police aren’t expected to actually prevent all crime. In this metaphor I guess the question is whether Trump is a bog standard criminal that maybe gets around the police but is kept mostly in check, or if he’s a special level of super-criminal that police chief Biden should have his career judged against.
The thing is, the people chose to have crime. They were presented with a criminal, and chose him. And I'm not even following the metaphor anymore either; he's literally a criminal. The police can't fight crime if the majority of people want crime.
Is Biden also to blame for Trump's first 4 years? It's the people's fault! It's your damn fault too! The world is still waiting for riots and precautions of election manipulation etc. But nothing comes from you. Just peaceful protests while trump pisses in your faces.
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.
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
Battered spouses rarely leave their spouse.
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".
