Today, I’m thankful for all the crowdfunding comicsgaters discovering the guy they voted for is about to make their titty comic too expensive to print with tariffs.

Project '25 would prolly outlaw it, anyway. Is this really the world we're living in? I wake up everyday now and ask myself this, hoping it's all been a bad dream.
I wonder if the planned tariffs will finally be the nail that pushes comics to go almost completely digital? Physical collecting already feels like its become a niche in a niche hobby.
Physical collecting got a big boost during the pandemic actually...and it's pretty big among the whatnot/auction community still. It will definitely be affected though.
I hope that stays true this time. I wonder if the difference between the pandemic being supply issues vs a long term price hike will cause a different effect? Either way I'll keep buying as long as I can. Too many good stories coming out.
See I’ve been wondering about this. Fascism is baked into draconian laws but they only get applied to dissenters/others. So I really do not know if they’ll get their comeuppance, as it were. There’s a distinct possibility the system will coddle their needs/make exceptions, as they are loyalists.
Is it possible they’d have someone reading the stuff before it goes to print to make sure it isn’t “woke.” Maybe. But not if you fire most of the federal workforce.
Fair. But it’s the one thing I’m keeping an eye on is if loyalists get a special pass. Like I’m genuinely wondering if Latino/a Trump voters are gonna get a pass for their family or what have you. Scary times.
You think it’ll happen in the first wave? I’ve speculated they’d let them go for a little while they start with rounding up everyone else. I think the optics would be too much if they go for the full “only conservative white people get to be full citizens” IMMEDIATELY. Ugh, I hate this timeline.
Honestly...I think the big deportation play is psychological warfare, and it'll prove to be too expensive and damaging to the economy in the end. But before that it'll be cruel and hurt a lot of innocent people.
I’m realizing that even if they DID, the Venn diagram of AI-bros and comicsgaters is a singular freaking circle lol so they’ll just AI-theft their titty comics. 🙃🙃🙃 (I’m not a purist, I have no problems with sexy comics/covers, as seen in my own art)
CGers won’t learn because if they could, they would’ve by now. They’ll just conjure a way to blame the increased costs and loss of customers as something caused by pronouns or SJWs or some other imaginary bogeyman. Expecting them to show self awareness at this point is a waste of energy, I think. 🤷

That’s the Comicsgate version of personal responsibility.
