This week's comic: Decision 2026

To be clear, I applaud the efforts of candidates to go on the offensive and reframe the political conversation around corruption and predatory billionaires. I just remain mystified how so many voters seem drawn to the most obviously unqualified, repulsively corrupt politicians that ever existed.

...or, more precisely, authoritarians (right wing, GOP) seem to be primarily motivated by loyalty and group-cohesion -- i.e. "it's more important to cheer for your team than for your team to not be absolutely awful".

On the one hand, I despair for humanity. On the other hand... well, I also despair for humanity -- but if we at least understand the problem, maybe we can find a solution?
