From the Finnish comic strip Fingerpori by Pertti Jarla, translated by me. Original:
Anyone: "There are millions dying."
Liberals: "We're making slow, incremental change -- you just don't understand pahliticks"
Errrrm akshurally the other guy™ is slightly worse ☝️🤓
Well, objectively, the other guy is promising to be much worse BUT THAT DOES NOT EXCUSE THE BAD BEING DONE.
You don't understand! It takes time! And constant backsliding!
Leftists: “Republicans want to issue 1m licenses to kill gay people, we have to stop them!”
Liberals: “Well we only want to issue 999,999 licenses, we’re not as bad as Republicans so you have to vote for us”
