    We all need to start collectively working on our insult game.

    Yelling “fuck you” and “go home” over and over again is something these people can train themselves to ignore. People need to start roasting them like insult comics.

    And remember to address key sore spots: domestic abuse, fragile masculinity and daddy issues.

      “This one’s still mad his sister refused to give him a handjob in 7th grade.”

      “Nice mask, it really highlights your wife beater eyes.”

      “This is what I was talking about, little Billy. C’s get degrees, D’s get you gestures whatever these manlets are.”

      “So this is what insecurity looks like.”

      Yeah. What seems to.pretty consistently make them run for the hills isn’t insults, but laughter. When people are yelling in fear and anger, fascists feel powerful. But when people laugh, they feel weak and vulnerable.

      It also makes it a lot harder for them to justify violence. You say they need to be hanged and they’ll claim you were threatening them and kill you. But it’s harder to make that argument when there’s video of a crowd laughing at mockery.

      Why do you think Trump hates comedians so much?
