There is so much that is wrong with that. This guy is mocking people who are stressed ad traumatized. The implication is that people talking 4 year cruises, writing post it notes on subway walls, or screaming at Lake Michigan are representative of the opposition to the MAGA movement.

I don't see the humor in mocking people's distress about this. It is a matter of punching done versus punching up, I guess. Some people think punching down is funny, making fun of those who are weak, handicapped, in distress or traumatized. I find that disgusting.

I am all in favor of sarcastic dark humor to deal with stress and trauma. My objection is about who is being targeted.

group scream events, rage rooms, post it notes in the subway? seem pretty ridiculous. we can laugh at ourselves. we SHOULD laugh at ourselves. especially the lakeside screaming event.

Ha ha ha ha look at the stupid Democrats and the goofy things they do! Why, it is Trump Derangement Syndrome! Ha ha ha ha. Those liberals are so silly! Who could ever take opposition to Trump seriously? Ha ha ha ha.

Trying to get in the spirit here.

No, I don't find the examples he used to be weak, handicapped or in real distress. I said they are not representative of the opposition. That is the problem.
