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 must have missed something if every single Trump voter was out there marching with the ones carrying the nazi flag. Maybe I should get my eyes checked, as I sure didn't see tens of millions of people in those photos.

Stop misusing literally.

I understand what you're getting at, but I vehemently disagree that guilt by association can be reasonably applied to the entirety of a group this fucking large. Has the same feel to me as being distrustful of every person with dark skin because of skewed crime statistics.

I'm not misusing the word. They saw Nazi flags flying and at best they thought

Well, I might not agree with what they're saying, but they have a right to say it

Except that what a Nazi flag says is incompatible with what this country should be, with what these people who think themselves "patriots" profess to believe. You don't think guilty by association is fair? Explain to me why not, please. In what way is "Yep, being on the same side as Nazis is fine" not just being a fucking Nazi? I will be positively floored if you can come up with a single reasonable scenario to convince me there's any difference.

And don't think this is in bad faith, either. If you can convince me you might just give me a fighting chance to forgive my family who went off the deep end. It is actually quite important to me, I've just given up there's any hope of getting through to them after so long. Especially now he won.
