This is soo politically charged that can't be seen as political anymore.
My dude, it's an arrow and a block
I don't see the political charge. How do you mean?
I have seen the current US sitiatuation be described many times as a unstoppable force (Trump) going against every law and institution, but they are characterized as unmovable, because they refuse to exert resistance to Trump advances.
Edit: a random blog using this metaphor before the election. https://yaschamounk.substack.com/p/the-danger-to-american-democracy
Given how inaccurate that metaphor is, I can say with near certainty that has nothing to do with this comic.
(I think this is a reference to the recent "a grad student was grabbed off the street in my town last month" entry into the series and the "ooh XKCD gone political" response to same)
