Or just check the tag for "politics" on explainXKCD. Randall's endorsed political candidates before as well as generally shown a general libertarian and later left-leaning bent

Yeah but saying climate change is real and vaccines work should not be a political statement, it's just reality and science.
Making a comic about a person hopes and dreams being truncated by being kidnapped by the government, now that's a statement.
Saying people shouldn't get kidnapped shouldn't be a political statement either but here we are.

It's awesome to see people stepping up like this! Our current situation is NOT normal.
Holy shit this is crazy.
And major news outlets aren't covering this due to the billionaire class owning mass media.
Next step in the playbook is to outlaw all the minor news outlets that do cover this stuff. Is trump already working on that?
Thanks to the internet you can't easily stop that. BBC will keep covering it.
That and the fear that Trump will disappear them next.
I have to believe that this factor is equally to blame
