It’s not working anymore. Proof? Trump wants to stop it, so the distractions are ramped up to include him, and the people aren’t buying it. They support him even more, in SPITE of his abrasive personality. Well, all the people with common sense, anyway.
OH NO, GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, ORANGE MAN IS RUSSIAN MOLE! LOOK OUT, IT’S AN INSURRECTION! MAGA IS GOING TO MAKE THE HANDMAID’S TALE COME TRUE! Vote for us, we’ll protect you from all of that.
Comic strips have always been topical. But they shouldn’t become the editorial section. Comic strips help us take a break from all of that – not to ignore it, just take a break for a bit.
Be advised, this is not a political piece. If you have read this as a political piece, you need to read it again and again and again until you decide it is not a political piece.
Speaking of drugs, you could have also mentioned the different standards you have for domestic and for foreign – chiefly Latin American – heads of drug cartels.

I know it’s petty, but the hyphen for ‘regarding’ in the first panel is incorrect. It should be between either e-g or d-i. Just saying…
