It's been a week or so since the USA election that saw Donald Trump become the 2nd presidential candidate since Grover Cleveland in the late 19th century to be relected on non-consecutive terms. Predictably, the far-left creators of comicdom had plenty of negativity to serve up on social media following an election for which Trump was reelected based on serious issues that've been badly damaging the USA and elsewhere. For example,
Mark Waid:
I don't believe in the basic goodness of my fellow Americans anymore, and without this, I cannot write superheroes. There's no point. When you see a decline in the quality of my work soon, you'll be able to trace it back to this night… Planning on going dark on all social media and news feeds for a while starting tomorrow. See you down the road, I hope. Godspeed.
Considering he lost direction almost 2 decades ago, it's no loss if he retires from the profession. He's never championed fans of Mary Jane Watson, for example, nor fans of any DC characters who were wronged in the past 2 decades. And Waid's
left-leaning positions have found their way
into his writings more noticeably in the past decade. There's all sorts of serious issues men like Waid could tackle, and they throw away every opportunity to do so, because it doesn't fit the PC narrative of the left today. Now here's Patrick Zircher:
Wow, what theater of the absurd have we here. If Zircher really wants the USA to one day have a lady president, much like the UK had
Margaret Thatcher and Italy now has
Giorgia Meloni, then it should all be based on personality and talent.
Recent polling surveys revealed that at least 40 percent of women under 30 voted for Trump, and it goes without saying that
leftist policies hurtful to women clearly alienated a significant number of women. This is the kind of stuff leftists like Zircher virtually obscure in their ambiguous rants. Something tells me leftists like him don't consider Thatcher and Meloni admirable examples of lady politicians anyway, because they were, or are, rightists. Next is Jody Houser:
For the trans and queer folks in particular who are terrified right now, please know that you were very much on the minds of so so many of us as we donated and campaigned and voted. And we will keep fighting for you to be able to live and thrive as yourselves.

If this is all that worries her, she clearly doesn't care about
women's rights and safety by contrast, or even
children's safety. Some leftists sure did sell out to LGBT ideology, yet the biggest oxymoron would have to be that, if Islamists don't want it, they won't force it on them.
Peter Sanderson, a onetime Marvel/DC employee:
I am not looking forward to Trump's tariffs increasing the costs of my good or his tax cuts undercutting finances for the Social Security and Medicare I an dependent on. It has been reported that when Trump was told about the January 6 rioters threatening Mike Pence's life, he said "So what?" Trump voters look at Trump's 34 convictions, his being held liable for serial assault and a half billion dollars of fraud, his undoing Roe, his misogyny, racism and intent to prosecute his opponents, and they say, "So what?" For them getting cheaper eggs (as if Trump will reduce food prices) is more important than democracy. It was interesting tonight to watch MSNBC show one by one which states went for Trump and which for Harris, as if enumerating the states that I don't want to visit because they are pro-authotitarian. Just as well I can't travel beyond the Northeast for health reasons.
It's very sad to see yet another apparent leftist who'd worked in comicdom parroting "narratives" about Trump that were never proven indefinitely, all the while ignoring
Joe Biden's own disturbing records. Now, here's Mark Russell:
What about all those time when the left
normalized slurring Trump by comparing him to Hitler? How doesn't it occur to anybody that's a most truly repulsive thing to say? Why won't they let go of such incendiary language? And now, here's Darick Robertson:
But that's exactly why they voted for Trump. Because they were fed up with the left's horrific ideologies that went way overboard, including the
LGBT ideology that came at women's expense, and nobody of Robertson's standing even wants to say a word about. There's also Joseph Illege:
Well if politics is all you care about, then it's difficult to believe you really care about comicdom. Here's also
Yanick Paquette:
How is this even real. Reality writers should be fired. It just make no sense, it's like they are not even trying. Wtf.
If the left really wanted to try, they would've avoided all the standings they went overboard with this past decade. Please consider. Now here's Jimmy Palmiotti:
If I may suggest, stop worrying over conservative beliefs that children should be able to grow up with their bodies intact, for example. Start proving you have what it takes to take a critical view of leftists instead. There are
some people in Hollywood who are.
There are, fortunately, some right-wingers who've had what to say.
Mike Baron:
The only question is whether men like Mr. Ringo are willing to listen. Quite often, they're not. Next is
Jim Steranko:
Finally, here's
Billy Tucci:
We must definitely hope so.
