So So Plush

I’m tired of old guys like John Byrne and Frank Miller talking like drama queen teenage girls about America and Trump. Byrne recently told the New York Times: “It feels like evil has won. I look at Washington and go, oh my God, this is the [guy] who I modeled my Lex Luthor in part on, back when he was just a big noise in business in New York.” It ‘feels like’ he said, feels. And he says nothing about the evil, totalitarian left or Islam. And now Miller just farted out this typical leftist bullshit to the Telegraph: “We have a militarised police, those horrific ICE agents are nothing less than a Gestapo, and the city itself [NYC] has been so mismanaged for so long. As scary and grim as things were in the Seventies, there was not the overall stink of totalitarianism that there is throughout America today.” Is the incumbent president an archetypally corrupt, money-grabbing Frank Miller political villain? “He’s grotesque,” Miller spits, comparing Donald Trump to Darth Vader without his mask. He invokes the characters that the co-creator of Captain America, Jack Kirby, conjured when the Nazis were rampaging across Europe. “Kirby several times recreated Adolf Hitler as a comic-book character. One of them was named Hate-Monger, and that one certainly applies to Trump, because he spews hatred, and he calls on that part of the human spirit in his rhetoric, and you see it on the faces of his followers – the naked racism, the naked sexism, the belligerence.” And while Miller whines about the ‘stink of totalitarianism’, he doesn’t call out the totalitarian left or Islam. The old punk didn’t say shit about Obama, Biden, and all the actual totalitarians on the left.
