Editing, in the form of not LYING will prevent almost all of the Far right positions:
Trickle Down is good for you, there is no such thing as increasing wealth inequality, only wealth envy
There is no racism
More guns make us safer, the only thing to stop a bad guy with a gun…, ANY effort to reduce gun violence is exactly the same as total confiscation of all guns
Widespread undetectable voter fraud, the election was stolen
Climate change is a hoax, so is covid
We want abortion to be left to the states.
You’re not allowed to investigate because Trump is innocent
George Soros controls Alvin Bragg, and every other AG investigating The Messiah
How many people still watch (shudder) The Cosby Show, or Rosane? How many people still listen to Michael Jackson, or R. Kelly, or Kanye West, or Kid Rock? If you dig deep enough, I’m sure you’ll find atrocious behaviours of many other artists as well, and yet we can still appreciate their works.
Scott Adams has the right to say a lot of dumb racist crap, but newspapers also have the right to stop publishing his comic, which many of them have done.
I think Mr. Trudeau may have forgotten the many times he and Doonsbury were the target, on those occasions he never edited or backed down to get along. His suggestion that others should now, seems a change in his artistic philosophy.
Golly. Is all the outrage espoused here about “censorship” and the “cancel culture” perhaps in reality due to the likes what the kids say today? Something like “intercoursed around and found out” perhaps? Oops!
It’s pretty obvious that Garfield is a product of the artist’s baser instincts. Oh, newspaper publishers and comic syndicators bear quite a bit of the blame.

Mr. Trudeau is assuming that most people are rational.

Nice dig at “Dilbert” without saying it. Personally, I wish Dilbert would come back. I liked him and the crazy office hyjinks.

Still amazing how people can say offensive things, and then get angry when people are offended.

‘Mondays’ finally had enough of what Garfield was spewing and did something about it.

Garfield did get a raw deal. He might have ended up being one of the great presidents if he hadn’t gotten shot right away.

Marc Maron did the following bit:
I’m an old fart, but I think I’m pretty woke. I’d say I’m about…85% woke. The other 15%, I keep my mouth shut. Which is kind of the point.
