This is going here because I am not sure whether they are glorifying the end of the rule of law or skewering Trump voters:

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

It's making the point that there are people out there who voted for Trump specifically in order to fill all the judicial vacancies left behind by the GOP obstruction of Obama's nominees, including, but far from limited to, the Supreme Court vacancy created by the death of Antonin Scalia.

Are they supposed to be a married couple? Are they in some kind of office? Why is the guy wearing a purple bicycle helmet? Why is the coffee cup sitting in a puddle of water and why has no one cleaned it up? Has this artist ever seen the inside of an apartment before? Why did he smudge grey on the back wall? why is the man about to sit down in what I assume is a dog food bowl? Are they saying that if they have kids now then by the time they're adults there just won't magically be a climate crisis anymore?

Why does the woman have a saucepan on her desk and why does she seem to have her phone plugged into the coffee maker?

Why is the telescope so tiny that you would have to lay on the floor to use it?

Perhaps it's intended to be used by the same person who would be comfortable using the world's smallest laptop that's on the woman's desk.

I honestly thought the helmet was a beanie and the dude was some kinda hipster.

Alright, Garrison has gone as far as he can at making Trump look comically-sexy-buff. Either draw the man with a meter long cock or stop it now.

Other than that this has barely any labels and therefore is not peak-Garrison.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

It's pretty sad that this guy can't even pay tribute to a dead celebrity without bringing his hangups into it.

I mean, we all know Mick Williams can't draw period, but this is horrible even for him.  Why is Chuck's face melting?

That looks edited. It doesn't even look like Garrison's art style.

I guess you're not aware of the "Zyklon Ben" meme.

Long story short, trolls from /pol/ have been characterizing Ben Garrison as a Nazi sympathizer for years. Something he's not too happy about:



Almost makes me feel bad for the guy.
