With the wave of Amazon scam books, I'm surprised no one published, "Black Fragility." It just says, "Nigger. Lol." on the first and only page.

- At first, a certain subject isn't objected to and is seen as OK, even in a time of "political correctness" and civil rights.
- SJWs then "call out" that subject as "problematic", invoking "identities" and BS politics between them: "identity politics".
- The subject then becomes "problematic" in the mainstream, subject to censorship and "cancelling" that wasn't a thing before.
- Anyone who didn't buy into the BS of the subject becoming "problematic" may need to now explain how the subject isn't wrong.
- Anyone who didn't buy into the BS may get doubts about the subject being OK, that were not there before -- SJW demoralizing.
- This process continues to repeat endlessly, as SJWs find yet more subjects to turn "problematic" with "struggle session" BS.
I've said it many times before: Current Year really needs to end. If "woke" is followed devoutly by a white or male, it backs such in a corner of misery with all forbidden.

I’m still not sure what the point of this comic is trying to convey. What does this have to do with voting on Election Day?

The art style looks like a bootleg version of the other half-dozen comic strips that look like that already.

In case anyone is out of the loop, US bills tend to be packed a plethora of (wildly unrelated) spending mandates. Stereotypically it's couple additional billions to Israel.

The proper response is 'Cool, what's the bill? No, don't tell me what your retard friends in the media say it is. What was the bill?'

Some people aren't happy that major newspapers are publicly refusing to endorse a presidential candidate:
Historical context: people in Thirteen Colonies most likely would've identified as British. Paul Revere's original shout was "regulars are coming!" (As opposed to irregular colonial militia.) Arguably, he was just stating an objective fact that the Crown's army was mobilizing.
Personal commentary: feels more like "we want people to think we're impartial" than "we are committed to actually being impartial."

More like "the British actually own the printing presses we use for our papers." There's a reason the First Amendment says "the freedom of speech, or of the press," because the press was actually the physical mechanism that made freedom of speech possible in any effective way.
Just "freedom of speech" would have meant you could be a completely impotent lunatic raving in the town square, and reach absolutely nobody. Freedom of "the press" meant you had the right to use the most powerful means of amplifying your voice available.
At this time, that's the Internet. If we lose the Internet, we lose everything.

I forgot to qualify that last paragraph with "(the newspapers in question)" but that's a great point. Lot of people screech about "freedom to speak, not to be heard" which is kind of a valid point. But if that is taken to the extreme, there effectively won't be free speech if you can't get your speech out (as in, people wont have the choice to listen or ignore, they'll never even know that you're speaking.)
That may sound far-fetched and alarmist but reminds me of this quote:
“How Did You Go Bankrupt?” “Two Ways. Gradually and Then Suddenly.” (Ernest Hemingway, 1926 novel “The Sun Also Rises”)

I gave you a "winner" medal. If I could have given you ten I would have.
I'm going to cut and paste some stuff about freedom to hear excerpted from an article on the FIRE website from 2017.
link to original article: partial title is The Freedom to Speak includes the Freedom to Hear.
Here is for me the most interesting part of the argument, with which I fully agree,
Dissenting in Kleindienst v. Mandel (1972), United States Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall observed that “[t]he freedom to speak and the freedom to hear are inseparable; they are two sides of the same coin.” Justice Marshall was defending the right of American social science professors to hear the speech of Belgian academic Ernest E. Mandel, who been scheduled to appear at several academic conferences in the United States. Mandel had written books about Marxist economic theory and described himself as a “revolutionary Marxist.” Those views were not widely popular in the late 60s and early 70s, and were a statutorily sanctioned reason to deny someone admission to the United States, so Mandel was told he could not enter the country.
The majority in Kleindienst recognized that there was well-established legal support for the “right to receive” ideas. Many cases — Stanley v. Georgia (1969) (“It is now well established that the Constitution protects the right to receive information and ideas.”); Thomas v. Collins (1945) (“That there was restriction upon Thomas’ right to speak and the rights of the workers to hear what he had to say, there can be no doubt.”); Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC (1969) (“It is the right of the public to receive suitable access to social, political, esthetic, moral, and other ideas and experiences which is crucial here.”) — were cited to support this proposition.
Where the majority diverged from Justice Marshall’s pithy statement in his dissent was what bearing the First Amendment should have on Mandel’s right to enter the country. The majority held that the executive should have broad authority to deny admission to those seeking to enter; Justice Marshall saw the First Amendment as being more important than that broad executive authority. Justice Marshall’s statement about “two sides of the same coin” draws support from the legal and philosophical reasoning behind the First Amendment. I quoted Frederick Douglass yesterday: “To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker. It is just as criminal to rob a man of his right to speak and hear as it would be to rob him of his money.”
The legal maxim recognized by Justice Marshall in his dissent and by Justice Blackmun writing for the majority of the Court holds true: the freedom to speak requires the freedom to hear.

Stereotypes seem to be generally tolerated when it's whites like the Italians or the French.
But when it is "people of color", it's suddenly "problematic" and "racist" -- even the positive ones like "Asians are good at math" or "blacks are good at basketball" also.
