One faction has a messiah fixation, thumps a Bible they’ve never even read (they just let some pastor tell them what’s in it), obsesses over guns and other peoples’ private (by which I mean sexual) lives and reproductive organs. They’ve been told and so believe that Sodom and Gomorrah was about the sex, but it was about righteousness and hospitality - and these are two things that they themselves lack completely.
There is a real problem, a real danger, because it fits historical patterns we’ve seen before - the so-called “ideas” that they spout with the language that they use - and they end up mindlessly, senselessly bringing EVERYBODY down with them.
They are a menace to all of us. Including themselves, but they don’t see it. And neither does the “both sides” argument, a lazy excuse for not acknowledging that the proverbial emperor has no clothes.
I’m not sure if this “faction” you speak of is really as clear cut as you think it is. Nor whether it’s being depicted in the comic. You’re specifically reading your “faction” belief into this comic in order to criticize it.
What would the other “faction” be? Would it not be people in the same country? Does the meme even apply at that point?
This shit is clearly about xenophobia and all of you responding with Reddit Buzzwords are completely missing that point. In fact, you’re contributing to xenophobia by refusing to recognize it. You might have more in common with the “bible thumpers” than you realized.

Now tell me something you didn’t learn on Reddit
