    i don’t like calling people sheep, mainly because conspiracy theorists use that term a lot. but it applies so well here, i can only agree.

      It felt liked it applied to me too. I think it’s less calling people sheep and more using a good allusion to the whole concept. I agree with you, I also don’t like calling people sheep and I hate the word ‘sheeple,’ but I think this isn’t actually doing that.

      I do think the “these people are sheep” metaphor is a part of this comic, but not so much as the “wolf in sheep’s clothing” allusion, which is the main jist of it.

      I don’t like putting burdens on these beautiful animals. I rather call these people morons. Because that’s what you are if you are voting Republican, and you aren’t a millionaire.

    If we want to be honest with ourselves, Trump’s popularity proves we have an epidemic of mental illness.

    Seriously. I think between alcohol and lead exposure and CTE from football n’ shit has led to pretty slow thinkers and overreactive hotheads.

    If your brain is broke and you can’t think with any modicum of depth or compassion, then Trump would make some kind of sense.
