Their opposing political views are implied by the salon article-sharing progressive woman vs. straight white conservative man. He’s a cartoon man in a single comic panel. If they’re not relying on stereotypes here I’m gonna need the joke explained to me
I see a woman tolerant of racism while denying it and a racist man. The conservative part I’m guessing you extrapolated by the thought that it is a regressive trait and therefore more likely to be a conservative?
There are implied political signals, but nothing overtly political. I’m not even attributing racism to conservatism. I wouldn’t trust a couple that matches the one in the comic to be up-to-date on the political landscape.
The juxtaposition is the entire point of the comic though, right? I wouldn’t describe salon.com as a racial news site if I had to pick 1 adjective. If she had a BLM t-shirt or something maybe we could ignore politics
How do you know the guy is a conservative? The image mentions nothing about politics

That’s a reasonable assumption I think

What is that saying? A hungry person always has bread on their mind.
There’s another saying which goes “get your head out of your ass”
Yeah, it is political, when your politics come down to “woke” vs “antiwoke”.
I’m starting to understand why today’s “conservatives” see a brutal dictator like putin as a hero.
No I think he had a mysterious conspiratorial political connection in a website she mentioned?
