In fact, this book came about when I asked myself, \u2018What would the punisher be doing today?\u2019 He\u2019d be down on the southern border trying to stop the flow of fentanyl into the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing against the immigrants who are trying to cross over just to get a better life; in fact, he\u2019s there to save them, and that\u2019s when we first meet him. He\u2019s saving a young girl from being raped,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/the-private-american#\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indiegogo page<\/a> described the comic book thus:<\/p>\n<p><em>The US border with Mexico has been overrun with lawless coyotes flowing across the Rio Grande, bringing in weapons, smuggling illegal drugs, and trafficking sex slaves across the country! Border Patrol agents are overwhelmed and seemingly powerless, while the U.S. government refuses to help. In fact, the administration seems to actively support open borders \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But when the violence reaches his doorstep, one man takes matters into his own hands \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrivate American permanently suspended on Twitter, shadow-banned on Indiegogo \u2026 suspended indefinitely on Kickstarter,\u201d Fox News\u2019 Todd Piro pointed out. \u201cHow are you going to make money now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA number of us who produce comics that don\u2019t fit into the rigid left-wing mode, we are exploring new crowd-funding possibilities,\u201d Baron stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust how woke has the comic book industry become?\u201d Piro asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s pretty woke, as you know, and the sales are falling,\u201d Baron replied. \u201cThere\u2019s some question whether Marvel and DC will continue to publish comics in the future because sales are so low. Meanwhile, there\u2019s a whole bunch of us; we call ourselves ComicsGate, that produce comics outside the normal realm, and we crowd-fund our comics, and they\u2019re highly entertaining, and many of the comics are far more entertaining than better illustrated than those that are being produced by the big two.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A comic book centered on a vigilante tracking down fentanyl dealers at the southern border went looking for public funds to support it, only to get banned on Twitter, then reportedly get shadow-banned on Indiegogo.
