Forbes is paying lip service to a collective of far-left comics writers and artists who’re against Donald Trump’s policies for if and when he’s reelected POTUS:
If you’re having trouble facing the prospect of making your way through Project 2025, the 900-page blueprint for a second Trump administration drawn up by the conservative The Heritage Foundation, a loose-knit consortium of cartoonists has made it a bit easier. Last week some of the top creators in the comics industry launched Stop Project 2025, a free website featuring “highlights” from the plan in comics form.
The effort reflects the concerns that many in the comics community are feeling about the impact of a potential second Trump term on issues affecting the lives of ordinary Americans. Stop Project 2025 provides information about the document, its connections to many once-and-future members of a Trump administration, and its implications across a range of policies including education, climate, reproductive freedom, immigration, government administration and more.
“A lot of us were thinking about ways to make a difference,” said comics editor Scott Dunbier (Act 4 Publishing, IDW). Dunbier had previously worked with creators on a book to raise funds for Ukraine and saw the potential of comics to shed light on what he called a “heinous document.” He connected with artist Steve Lieber over Facebook, and eventually a collective of about 50 people began pitching in scripts, art, production and editorial services.
The list of contributors credited on the site includes best-selling and award-winning creators such as Andrew Aydin (March), Denys Cowan (Milestone comics), Matt Fraction (Sex Criminals), Lilah Sturges (Lumberjanes, Fables) and many others, including some who did not want to be listed.
Ah, now if memory serves, “Lilah” is actually Matthew, and this comics propaganda he and Dunbier are working on includes support for transsexual ideology. Also, if Dunbier’s trying to use his support for Ukraine as a shield for supporting perverse ideologies, that’s very appalling (I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s not in favor of Israel by contrast), and based on his anti-conservative propaganda, that’s why I won’t be sorry when IDW goes out of business. Since we’re on the subject, one must wonder what Dunbier and Sturges think of Ukraine’s opposition to LGBT ideology being exploited for ludicrous privileges, since they don’t allow men claiming to be women to just cowardly flee the country after Russia’s attack. Or, what do they think of the Muslim world’s far worse hostility to LGBT ideology? No doubt, this insulting propaganda project of Dunbier’s isn’t altruistic, and their attack on Trump is clearly just a lot more selfish embarrassment for the sake of upholding unhealthy practices and other bad influences.
All that aside, Sturges has pretty much tainted the Jack of Fables spinoff he once contributed to as a writer. A comic developed by a conservative, Bill Willingham, who’s probably not considered acceptable company by every leftist in the industry, at this point. What Dunbier’s doing only makes clear why it’s better Hasbro’s GI Joe and Transformers franchises are no longer published by IDW, a company which clearly was consumed by selfish leftists who, no matter what they say, only care about western conservatives and aren’t really concerned about issues like Islamic terrorism. And when the “Religion of Peace” is the one espousing homophobia, the left’s complaints grind to a screeching halt.

Perhaps one of the best ways to send a message to Dunbier and company is to cease buying any more comics from IDW. Whatever licensed merchandise is still there would be best published elsewhere.
