I think you should mention that your comics are satire. I think most people take you literally, specially since we are federated to many non-leftists instances that actually think those people are leftists.
While this is very legitimate advice, I'll be real, I absolutely love it when people eat the satire bait.
Doesn't take much to entertain me.
Buuuuut you might be right I should be more clear. If "strawman" in the title doesn't do it then idk what will so I should probably just stick the word SATIRE in all caps when I do these full satire ones.
I feel you. I find the best satire usually makes me a bit uneasy and unsure. It took me a second on your post until I looked back at the title.
I wonder if the reaction would have been different if you had put the title in the comic itself instead of just having it as the post title. It’s a small change, but I think it might have been enough. It would be an interesting psychology experiment if you could randomly serve both versions and see how the reaction plays out.

How could you besmirch the reputation of true american leftist patriots?!
Anarcho-bidenism is the only way forward!

Every single person the comic mentions is, at best, a centrist

Ain't no way, really?
Blinken is clearly the reincarnation of Lenin!
