I think the point of the cartoon is that some people genuinely are like this. They can’t see the human in front of them without classifying them politically and deciding based on those metrics whether they’re a good person or not. It’s just “you’re a liberal, and therefore I don’t have to care about you.”
Then they’ll turn around and pretend to be a Christian or whatever.

And he would kill them once there’s no one left.
Honestly Leftists are like this moreso than conservatives. Not saying whether that’s wrong, but it’s true
Depends on if the conservative in question is religious. If they usually frothing at the mouth for someone! to kill/destroy those they consider their enemies. Usually it’s just “you wait until my god comes down here and smites you!” But occasionally they’ll just go shoot up a night club or blow up an abortion clinic.
Don’t worry, the history books will remember the hippie mass shootings of ‘23. You know the ones.
Or is this one of those “intolerant of intolerance” things?
whoa whoa I wasn’t talking about politically-motivated shootings. the comment i replied to just said “see the human”. yeah, it’s the paradox. i just meant that leftists dont put up with conservatives, but conservatives try to appeal to civility and looking like a good christian neighbor and whatnot. their actions are hateful, but they claim to look beyond political leaning when judging a person. i dont think leftists are as inclined to disregard conservatism. a judgment based on politics. maybe it’s not so bad that the left does it way more.
can the left be intolerant of intolerance while simultaneously looking beyond political leanings and just “see the human”? I don’t know. should they? I don’t know. do they? I think most make a point not to.
This is honestly how it feels living in my conservative neighborhood.
How it feels talking to my father.
this is bullshit… they don’t care who they have to kill… in fact, they’re just waiting for someone to tell them who to start shooting at…
They’re dumber than dogshit, there’s gotta be a way to convince them to shoot each other.
It took 0.000000001 seconds for them to decide that the January 6 insurrectionists were actually a false-flag Antifa op (and also simultaneously harmless tourists somehow). It doesn’t seem difficult to convince them to turn on each other, but that’s pretty standard for fascists.

The more extreme a group goes, the more the extremists start to eat each other over who is and isn’t extreme enough.
Your title tells me you don’t know anyone like this in real life. Must be nice.
I don’t, you’re right, and for that I am glad. My friends are reasonable people and that’s more than most can say.
If you are around people like that, you seriously need to cut them out of your life temporarily so they don’t end up hurting you in the next few years, and I am being 100% serious about that. Everything the extremists are saying and doing mirrors what the German people did during the rise of Hitler in the 1930’s, and they can and will report your ass and have you sent off to a concentration camp by the end of the decade if you’re stupid enough to hang around trash like that.
The family members who were like that back then were the worst, and it’s the same now.
I would even go so far as to recommend LGBTQ+ folk who live amongst fascist types to not come out to them at all and to do everything possible to save money and move far away from them, and to sanctuary cities, before the shit hits the fan. And those turds are awfully close to the blades…
I’m all for people staying safe and taking care of themselves, but the problem is moving makes the entire situation worse. Concentrating ourselves into small geographic areas inside cities is what allowed them to gerrymander the shit out of things and get the minority political party locked into outsized political influence.
Every blue voter that leaves a rural area makes the divide worse. So I praise those who are brave enough to stay.
Then get everyone in those cities to vote to become separate states. That way your vote not only counts for more but can’t be controlled by them anymore.
Sure, but as the comic specifically says, this is about neighbors, not friends. You don’t necessarily have a choice regarding your neighbors’ beliefs.
this puts me in mind of the conservative neighbours I had living out in the country a couple of years ago. need to borrow milk, get your car started, towed out of mud, whatever, they were there to help.
but they quit America to come here because it was becoming a socialist hellhole.
(‘here’ is not less socialist than America)
Where is here?
Here is there
Why be a good person when you can just fake it? JFC…
