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.

I see barely anyone willing to aknowledge the fact that roughly half the country voted for Trump.

Half of voters who voted, not half the country. That's a pretty big difference.

We have to find some way to communicate with and turn the Trump voters if we ever want any chance of moving past this shitshow.

I've been trying to do that for eight years. As have most of those of us not in the cult. When does it get to be "on them", you know, the party of personal responsibility? Why is it always on us to mollycoddle them? I'm fucking done.

Self righteousness may be cathartic, but it doesn’t do anything for finding a fucking solution for this shit show.

My solution is that no Republican gets one ounce of interaction with me that I'm not legally or contractually obligated to give them. My maga relatives will get the degree of courtesy and interaction required by our relative positions within the family and geographic proximity.

Maga service providers or vendors will get none of my money if they make me aware of their alliances, which most of them are very happy to do.

The only remaining endgame is riding out the four years of shit they have handed us, hoping we actually get another election, and going to my grave without voting for a Republican or conservative for anything.

I'm beyond done with these selfish assholes.
