In the past, we've had sit-ins and die-ins. Maybe it's time for "laugh-ins".

No, not the old Rowan and Martin "Laugh In" TV programs.

Trump HATES being laughed at and ridiculed. If a relatively small group of dedicated people were to gather at one point on his known route or outside his scheduled "appearances" and then simply pointed at him and laughed long and loudly---ON VIDEO---I believe the television machine would play it on the evening news and it could go viral on-line.

There could be different groups in all regions who would stage a "laugh in" any time Trump was in their territory---maybe using "flash mob" tactics. It would not require a lot of time or travel for any one activist, but would make it clear that people everywhere think Trump is a laughable figure.

Trump would be furious!

The science vs. whatever the f Trump is thing looks like a stupid binary distraction but it’s core is Fauci laughing at Trump on camera. When I saw that I knew they, HE, had to come after Tony.

You are right he can’t stand to be laughed. The ramp. He got personal when Biden said something’s about his intelligence at one of the debates. Spray tans and grown ass man makeup - it’s all about the fake front for Trump.

With Trump we had constant buffoonery from the dark side. Restore light hearted buffoonery with surrealist campoonery.
