It’s not a joke. It’s a well-known strategy for combatting dictatorships. Laugh at the wannabe dictator. Mission accomplished. Every dem should be doing this.

All dictators are narcissists in some form. The US sitting president happens to be the worst form of one. Narcissists HATE being laughed at and mocked. Let's goooooooo.

It’s not laughing because it’s funny but because it’s tragic.

Makes me wonder if the best tactic for democrats in Texas is to *accept* their government “minders” and just run them ragged to and from an ever increasingly bizarre series of errands every GD day.
