Regarding Trump et.al...
"Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at them
--and by laughing at them destroy them? For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one
really effective weapon--laughter. Power, Money, Persuasion, Supplication,
Persecution--these can lift at a colossal humbug,--push it a little-- crowd it a little--weaken it a little,
century by century: but only Laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast.
Against the assault of Laughter nothing can stand."

The GOP "men" are the absolute worst.. a bunch of projectionist little boys, worried that their own inadequacies (as friends, lovers or just as men) will be made public and they will be held to honest account. Laughter is contagious and one of the best human emotive behaviors in life... but if you live in constant fear of exposure for the fraud that you represent yourself as (when you KNOW in your heart its BS and lies) THEN laughing can be threatening and 'bad'...

Guess why the GOP 'men' are upset at Kamala's laugh?
Doesn't take much to understand them, but making them face it publicly is what really sets them off.

in this delusional, weird environment that MAGA men are creating. Young women don't even want to date these MAGA men. The MAGA men are the problem. The Dobbs ruling alone emboldened these MAGA men into believing that women do not deserve respect. That women are not equal. That women are not to be trusted. It's all so gross.
