Nothing they would understand. You go high enough and you’re pretty quickly over their heads and it has no effect. Remember this is a studied thing. Conservatives don’t grasp irony and sarcasm. It’s one of the reasons Steven Colbert quit the old show. They didn’t get it and it was having the opposite effect they intended.

He earned it when he pulled the ladder up behind him. Fuck Greg Abbott

All of a sudden the black lady slings back and now she has to reel it in and not be ableist?

I don't know, I see a distinction between mocking someone FOR BEING disabled, and mocking someone WHO IS disabled. This is the latter imo...

Meh, he shouldn't be such a vile sack of shit then

Remember how the “they’re weird” -thing hit them? They HATE being ridiculed

I've racked my brain with this and coming from a family who changed over years from Republican to Democrat, let me suggest some things:

In terms of the high level grifters and psychopaths, yes, undermining the strongman image with things like mockery, humiliation, embarrassment can be very effective not only at getting under the skin of tyrants but making others realize the clowns they are.

Shaming doesn't work with psychopaths because they don't feel guilt.

In terms of interacting with average Joe Trump supporters (the grifted), I do think it's worth planting seeds even if you'll never witness the seed grow yourself. One such seed is attempting to redirect their anger to the rich stealing their hard earned paycheck. Any chance to spin the conversation to trust fund children who never worked like Musk and Trump hijacking our democracy should be driven into the conversation. They're the real culprits for the pressures they feel.

They understand they aren't engaging with you, they are just playing their base. Democrats have to get that they aren't actually arguing with the Republicans they are setting up talking points for their base.

Yeah, I'm fine with a black lady basically going "if I'm dei, what does that make you?'

Dems need to remember that if it’s not nazi rhetoric, it’s on the right side. The bar has been lowered to fascism and we still try to hold each other to absolute political correctness.

We don’t have that luxury anymore. Do you believe in equality, the right to vote, the equal applicability of law to even the highest office? Great, you pass. Bonus points if you believe in a strong social safety net.

A politian is an elected representative. Their appointment depends on those who put their trust on them.

How politians managed to create a compulsory respect towards them evades me. The position they occupy is not theirs and, for what it counts, makes them the voters and state (as in, every citizen) servants.

Respect is earned not entitled.

We in texas call our shitty governor hotwheels because he's in a wheelchair
