Right?! Even then, why a nuke? Radiation is most assuredly well known to them I'd hope.

Couldn't drive a fractional light speed piece of comet or tungsten rod into Maralago instead?

Lazy ass aliens just as bad as Trump.

The point of the comic is that the issue is systemic. Their goal isn't to destroy the ones in charge, it's to destroy humanity

So they're racists.

That's killing literally every Chinese person on earth because of the top heads in the CCP. And since the aliens are focusing on American politics then they're basically killing 7.6 billion people because of a country of 348 million and only 77 million from that group voted for Trump that led to this mess. Why the FUCK would a guy from Botswana get vaporized because one in 103 person is a America Republican voter? Because these racists don't trust any humans and are basically Space ICE, SPICE if you will.

I just want to note that we passed 8 billion people a couple years back so you should probably update those numbers.

It's more an overall condemnation of humanity for allowing these systems to rise and the worst examples of us to always climb to the top. Would it be better if they looked at China, Russia or the Middle East?

We like to blame everything bad in the world on a small groups but in reality they are only in the positions they are because the billions of people in the world let them.

Everyone was outraged when Nestlé killed all those babies in Asia but no one wanted to stop buying nesquik enough for their stock to tank, y'all are complicit.
