Have you ever been bullied? As a kid or as an adult? Think about HOW the bully gets to keep operating: It's because NO ONE CALLS THEM OUT. The only way to shut down abusive bullying is by everyone calling them out.
Some can only do that here, whether because there's no action in their particular streets yet, or they're disabled and physically can't, or whatever. Others can put their bodies between the bullies and their targets.
But the only way we build solidarity is by calling it out, endlessly, and exposing them. It serves two functions: It makes it clear that their behavior is shameful and not fit for society; and it lets the targets know we see them and support THEM.
Mocking Trump? Notsomuch. All he does is lash out at the people least able to survive the targeting. We're a LOT better off shutting down his bullies and jackboots than we are scoring rhetorical points for sport, which does nothing for his targets.
