Biden is not responsible for what Trump is doing. He is responsible for letting it happen. He failed to fight maga during the 4 years he had all the powers to do it.

To be accurate, it is not a fault, it is a failure. His responsibility is on this failure, not anything else.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. Biden didn't open the door for Trump, but he did stand aside. Bernie would have shredded Trump ... but you know, apparently primaries are the devil.

Damn… I’m going to keep “not a fault, it’s a failure” in my back pocket. I’ve never heard it put that way when discussing a screw up that wasn’t really someone’s fault (in this case Biden, but could be Dems or even situations not politics related)

I feel being critical without blaming unfairly is a huge part of my personality, and so this type of convo actually comes up kinda frequently in my life, since so many people struggle to see gray areas between right and wrong, at fault and not at fault.

But what you said is a perfect way to better ensure that the meaning doesn’t get lost to blaming, after which the conversation is usually a lost cause.

Guys, this comic is a jab at conservatives, and is poking fun at how they're going to respond to getting screwed by Trump. The comic is positing that conservatives will just blame Democrats (usually their leader specifically), as they've done since time immemorial. These exact types of comics have been around since Reagan, they're all the same comic. The last big one was the "thanks Obama" meme, where Obama is blamed for every stupid little thing.

This isn't a comic about leftists blaming Biden. It's about the bull headedness and obtuse nature of conservatives.

This comic would have been perfect if the guy's hat just had MAGA on it, easier to get the message across

The message is 100% clear to Americans already.

Battered spouses rarely leave their spouse.

When someone robs your house, you blame the robbers. When the police refuse to do anything about it and you get robbed again by the same person 4 years later, you blame the police.

I blame the robbers for robbing my house and the police for not doing their jobs. I don't blame the police for robbing my house.

You expect me to believe trump can throw a punch?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah it should have been trump hitting the guy with a golf club

Nice, but the orange asshole is not fat enough.

Now we need a version with the guy wearing a "don't vote" cap and saying "this is all the Dems fault".

The Democrats are a cesspool themselves, but at least they don't flaunt screwing you over.

There’s a lot of “trust the process “ going on from that side atm

Conservatives are happy with what Trump's doing.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They are, until it happens to effect them directly.

"He was supposed to get rid of all the slackers and cut off people abusing the system, not fire my entire department!"

"He was supposed to put in tariffs to make China pay more, not to make the price of our goods go up!"

Classic leopards eating peoples faces party behaviour.

Inaction is also an action that may determine whose fault it is.

Man, how much of a wuss would you have to be to get beat up by Donald Trump?
