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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's not idiots multiplying. The majority of the voting public in developed countries is left-leaning. The right just know how to gerrymander the system better, and to make their media pundits more vocal
I don't think gerrymandering alone can account for most EU countries swerving to the right these last few years. Just yesterday Portugal got a center-left and a fascist to the second round for the presidentials. Looking at 3^rd^, 4^th^, 5^th^... yeah there's gonna be one more EU fascist president.
well, you're right, there definitely is a growing trend too - but I put that down more to media manipulation of public opinion, than general idiocy spreading more than usual
Have you talked to a fash supporter recently?
Most of em are pretty thick.
Yes I have family. But they always have been this stupid, they've just never been this empowered by it before
