Not joking by the way, this was made by a conservative artist

It's funny how 'getting an abortion' is the most atheist thing the artist could think of - I believe that's not even forbidden in the Bible?
There's a recipe to induce abortion in the Bible.
Not reading it is part of the book club.
Finally a relatable comic that offers a true look into the home of your standard antifa, or uppity lib.
Why just the other day I found a baptism certificate in my daughters backpack.
Well that was three abortions and the gender reassignment is booked for next year.
Seriously though, holy fuck. How does someone come up with that nonsense and actually believe that?
There's two types. One that is really that stupid and one that just wants to create chaos. There has been scientific research about this.
She's probably already pregnant from her youth pastor.
Reverse baptism: when the devil tells the priest to get out of the child.
THE YOUTH PASTOR PREGNANCY ABORTIONS FOR MY LITTLE SUSIE ARE JUST FINE.
It's all the other little whores who are enjoying sex or may die from their pregnancies that we really worry about. Those babies need to be saved for Jesus.
We're talking about a religion based on the fact that a god made a girl pregnant without her consent. So I guess it's part of their beliefs ?
The fact that this is not satire about conservatives ridiculous fever dreams, but a serious depiction of one, makes it really damn funny :'D
It made the comic even funnier when I saw that it was unironic
Wow, I don't even know how to process this. The dumbass conservatives are getting so confused about life they're actually creating sarcastic comics about their way of thinking unintentionally.
This is peak irony
Conservatives don't know how comedy works. I call it the Yo Mama hypothesis.
When you were a kid, and other kids lied about your mom, you got mad, right? And eventually they'd say - relax, it's a joke, stop crying. And if you're reading this then you probably grew to understand the difference between saying something and meaning it.
I don't think every kid got there.
I think a lot of kids, maybe a whole quarter of humanity, only learned that jokes are insults you have to shut up and take. They're cruelty you're not allowed to get mad about. How would those kids act differently? They'd stop crying, mostly, when people told rude lies about their mothers. They'd snap back at other kids, telling rude lies about their mothers. From those events you'd figure, great! They get it. It's not real. Except... they only look right from the outside. On the inside, they're gathering a list of excuses for vicious behavior.
These people know what jokes look like. They're clever enough to build a punchline. They kinda get how you tell jokes. But they have no idea why you tell jokes.
People defending Dave Chappelle insisted "he's a comedian!" like that absolved all his opinions. I've walked those people through how jokes require setup that reflects sincere beliefs. (Like how "eat the rich" is a joke about classism and cannibalism, but it's only joking about the cannibalism.) I've cited the many times Dave repeated certain claims far from any stage. But these folks never come acknowledge that being a TERF is not part of the act. That's not how it works, in their worldview.
Being a comedian means he gets to say things you're Not Supposed To Say, even if they're things you absofuckinglutely believe. That's all they thought Jon Stewart was doing. That's why they thought Stephen Colbert was on their side.
The same people routinely parroted "you can joke about anything," which is equally revealing. They'd heard it because they insisted "you can't joke about [blank]!" even for the most benign, supportive, and inoffensive gags. And also for dead-baby jokes and antitheism. Point is: these types don't care about severity, because they don't care about meaning. They believe in blasphemy. They think condemnation, criticism, or even just speaking less-than-reverently about a subject is profaning something sacred, and chances are good they'll hit kids for doing it.
We told them every subject is fair game for fair jokes. They'd stop yelling, mostly. And from that event we'd figure, great, they get it. But on the inside, they still believe the issue is what a joke is about. They still think joking is an attack under agreed-upon rules of engagement. So of course funny black man shit on trans people. They don't like trans people. It's hardly a secret. What's our beef, saying he's not allowed to spout jokes full of prejudice and hatred? They're jokes. That's what they're for.
I think conservatives are just generally bad at creative endeavors because they lack empathy. You need to understand the audience to be able to connect with them. Someone who lacks in empathy is going to have a tendency to not care about what they're doing affects other people. If it's funny to them, then it's funny. The audience's feelings don't matter.
This has been exacerbated by podcasting. Used to be if a comedian bombed, there was nothing to do about it other than work on their material. Come up with some new jokes. But now a comedian bombs, they go on Joe Rogan and whine about how bad the audience is. They feel like the important people on the podcasts are their friends, while the audiences are an enemy unless they conform to what the important people define as being funny.
Conservatives have a tendency to prefer hierarchies even when they're at the bottom of it. To them, the famous person on stage is more important than the audience. Therefore the audience is obligated to laugh at their jokes. If they don't, there's something wrong with the audience, not anything wrong with the jokes. Doesn't matter if the jokes are old, doesn't matter if culture has changed since the times when those old jokes got laughs.
You're a bad person if you don't consume the content that the important people make. Cancel culture!
Of course the reality is there is such a thing as creativity, connecting to the audience, understanding cultural norms that you can use them in interesting (and funny ways). But if you're lacking in talent in these things (or just gotten lazy which is what I feel happened with Chappelle) you can always go the route of "I hate the same things you hate" then all you need to do is make something that resembles the form of something actual creative people make. Conservatives fall in line, laugh on cue, and the uncreative people make money.
This comment needs a lot more upvotes.
Are you talking about The Last Generation Chick Tract?
My personal favorite is Dark Dungeons.
Does he believe this? Does ANYONE belive this?
To think people like these can vote
They live in an echo chamber where everyone repeats the same nonsense, so yeah, I think loads of them believe it.
For educational purposes, go watch Fox News for an hour (WARNING: more than 90 minutes can cause brain damage). I absolutely guarantee you will hear the same phrase, with the same wording, 20-200 times (sometimes they are more emphatic depending on the subject) within that hour. If you repeat it enough times, some people will take it as hard fact.
They not only can, but they will. Underlining the importance of anyone who sees this as obvious idiocy to vote as well.
It's possible he thinks this is what would have to be true, for criticism of Christianity to make sense.
But it's more likely he recognizes this is absurd, and targeted at his outgroup, and... end of thought process.
There's this weird thing where these people fantasize about the debauchery that liberals are doing.
It's basically a fetish for them.
Oh this isn't an ironic post ?
The fun part is that it's both!
Why only have one fanbase when there's two?
Ah the Joe Rogan Avenue, that never goes wrong
I know that this is serious, but it's so bad is good.
It has become the parody of a parody, this comic has so many layers of irony that transcends politics
GO GO GADGET JESUS!
Something about context
Stolen meme, but its too good

I feel like this should go in c/therightcantmeme, or c/conservativescantmeme. I don't remember the exact name
Wait until you find out op is posting it seriously and not ironically
I saw that a few times on reddit. It's a trip trying to peek inside the brains of Christian fascists.
My dad is communist and this happens every day
Surprised he lived this long without food
Imagine if we just leaned into their wacky right-wing conception of pro-choice and were like "yeah, our endgame is to have as many abortions as possible per capita." Their heads would explode lol
Well 75% of his cartoons feature blatant racism, so I'm gonna go with no.
And I don't mean like dog whistle racism or microaggression, I mean like you'd expect to find these comics in the KKK magazine level.
You're going to tell me you wouldn't be upset if you're kid was Christian?
I’d be upset to realize I raised an idiot, yes
I wouldn't be upset, I'd just be a little disappointed. If you're gonna believe in God, there are better ideas out there than that, but I wouldn't be upset about it unless the usual beliefs and actions tag along too.
Children also believe in Santa, it's just a phase
Fuck, whenever i see this dude art am like, damn bro these look really good . His art is better than most comic artists i saw and yet it's used for utter garbage. How saddening....
JFC not funny at all.
This us beyond hilarious.
I saw this way before X was a thing. It's weird that they re-watermarked it.
Right wingers are so good at making themselves feel like victims.
You should see Scott Adams. Motherfucker thinks he's in The Birth of a Nation.
"God bless you"... riiight, that is totally what she is trying to communicate. Loving kindness and grace. No way her god would see through that. 🙄
Strong Jack Chick vibes with this one.
based father lmao
The text has to be photoshopped. Right? Right?
Sadly no.
He’s no Jack Chick, is he?
This but unironically
This but unironically. Bring the fetus home, we'll bury it next to the Bible.
It is incredibly common for political comments to exaggerate stuff as a form of humor. It happens on both sides. This comment section doesn't seem to know that
That would imply that the artist is willing to fun of some part of his ideology. But a lot of his other comics can be boiled down to the usual "I, the conservative chad, destroy the screaming nonsensifal leftist".
They do have a sort of "so bad its good" vibe to them that I doubt is intentional. Like the biden sucking the blackness out of a girl one or him getting 3 women pregnant Kenshiro style. Or in a meta level, making a "gas prices are good but everything else sucks now and its the left's fault" comic almost immediately after making a "everything sucks now because gas prices are too high and its the left's fault" comic
I think there's some point in exaggerating things where it changes the meaning of exaggeration. At first this cartoon seemed to me like a satire of conservatives, mocking their exaggeration by exaggerating it even more. Imo the problem with this being "right wing humor" is not that right winger actively believe what it depicts, but rather that they do not perceive how it's so enormously stupid that it even ridicules right wing ideas. (Because here, you're like "hey, leftist harassing their child like right wingers do is so absurd and implausible, haha"). Of course they could be very self-aware to the point that they could laugh at their own ideas, but i sincerely doubt there are much people able to do that in any political spectrum.
You do realize this comic then violates "thou shalt not bear false witness against your neighbor" tho...right?
Yes, but one side makes jokes on them, cause there believe in a obviously misanthropic view of live, that will harm themselves, and cause there believe in a imaginary friend, who says them they should prefer an really old book full of contradictions instead of science, and ....
The other side is far away from perfect and not always right, but this is not on the same level.
Both side aren't the same.
Look if you don't have a political views of a blue haired zer, you're going to get down voted hard on Lemmy.
What in the manufactured persecution fetish is this bullshit? Where's the meme?
Didn't you hear? Everything is a meme now.
This is a joke, but it's also not (sadly)
Everything's a joke, but nothing is. Everything's ironic, but also everything's serious. Jokes are meant to make light of situations, but you can't make them about serious stuff. It's Schrödinger's comedy, a true definition of Metarcasm: Everything real is satire and every satire is genuine.
Jack chick with better artistic ability
My4 Yo found one of those in a bathroom and i was so pissed. And i couldnt really explain to her why she “couldn’t have the comic.” I told her it wasn’t a nice thing and NOBODY shpuld be reading it.
