          The V is obviously capitalized though. I hate this image. It kinda makes sense but I want to read it left to right as English expects, and the V just reinforces that.

            You should read it top left to bottom right as English expects.

            Imagine a paragraph with an indention and the third line down starting with a capital letter. Would you start with the capital letter line first before the undented top line?

              But if you read it top to bottom, the V being capitalized signifies that it’s the beginning, as it’s not a proper noun. you would never Expect something like this to happen; and certainly not one where it’s the divided up and essentially right-alighted.

              Even if you read top to bottom, the V fucks it all up. This is a bad image. Mirror the rainbow, capitalize properly, and it’s much better.

                This is my explanation why the layout works as intended and right aligned was an intentional and logical choice. I also think the capital V works against it, but for a different reason than where the sentence starts.

                Having the rainbow in the top left area sets the reader up to start by thinking of rainbows, which makes the punchline hit a little harder. The capital V is probably there to add stress to the word and fill in the white space, plus it has the curl that works well with the layout. But that is only necessary visually because of the shitty font they chose, and it stands out as a sore thumb in the middle of the sentence even if they had started it with a capital letter. But if they used thenlower case v the word voted would look really weird.

                If they used a different font and left it all lower case it would be perfect.

      Pretending they care is step one of doing something, step two is blaming liberal bureaucrats for the problem, step three is pretending they solved the problem or repeating step two depending on whether the constituent phone call is happy or angry

    Well no shit, Sherlock. Blue states pour more money into the federal coffers. They tend to have robust economies. Red states on the other had only survive by latching on to the federal teat and sucking out more money than they put in. Who do you think is going to suffer most from Trump’s decimation of the federal government?

    I felt a great disturbance in the Farce, as if millions of leopards suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear face eating has happened.

      Not bad, not bad at all. I would make a couple changes though. For example, why would the leopards cry out in terror? How about:

        Yes - Leopards are the face eaters, they should only cry out in terror, if there are no faces to be eaten.

        I think it’s been a long time since Leopards had so many faces showing up for dinner, willingly to be eaten.

        And all faces brought a little appetizer with them, they are all wearing Surprised Pikachu Jpeg Masks. An extra treat for Leopards.

    I guess we’ll find out how much of their own well-being they’re willing to sacrifice in order to hurt the poeple they want to hurt.

    Not enough to actually do anything about it of course. Bless those furrowed brows of concern!

    Your average Republican voter, I can understand consternation about their livelihoods under the oppression coming from the party they identify with.

    Political leaders like Murkowski, at this point unless they start putting words into action against Trump, Musk and MAGA, I will stop caring about Republican whining because, other than the words “I love DEI&A, CRT, wokeness, LGBTQIA+ and immigrants. Biden brought these jobs here and Trump is taking it away”, they are meaningless to me now.
