But doing nothing in this comic defaults to only Palestine being run over, whereas turning the lever runs over LGBTQIA+, Ukraine, abortion rights, BLM, and Palestine.

It should be the other way around - inaction kills all the minorities by letting the GOP win, and pulling the lever switches the track to only kill Palestine by voting for Dems and denying GOP a default win.

It's an awkward comic either way, because Palestine is much worse off under Trump and the comic doesn't make it easy to represent this (let alone a kind of double identity, of Palestine being on both tracks - maybe Palestine needs to be really tall and laid over both tracks).

Doing nothing results in taking the Moral High track, which loops around to the top track.

Trolley prolems are not real life. Go outside.

Nah. Usually this problem has two tracks. I can see why you overlooked it.

Doing nothing is implied to go down the middle here, I'm pretty sure, which results in everyone getting run over.

More realistically, Palestine would be laid down on the track before the fork, with the Trump track looping around to run over Palestine a second time.
