I originally drew this comic right after Trump was elected and people had to talk their friends down because they were terrified. I had to talk my own kids down because they'd been exposed to so much outrageous fear mongering that they thought something bad would happen to them...from a President who was the first one EVER to support gay marriage before he was elected and expressed support for letting trans people be, years and years earlier.
The profound evil present in people deliberately instilling extreme fear in the most vulnerable people in our communities for something as twisted as political benefit and then having the gall to turn around and answer exactly as this comic shows made me so angry that the original comic was a mess of rage-coloring.
Still, I find myself in situations where I want to pull this out and post it so often that I needed to redraw and recolor. The other was so bad that it would have distracted from the point I wanted to make.
Preaching fear to vulnerable people is evil. Turning around and demanding that everyone respect the fear that you created in vulnerable people is evil. You're not a good person and you should be ashamed.
