    I don’t think we should make fun of Miller for his height. We should make fun of him for his stupid fucking voice. Little bitch always sounds like he’s about to ask to speak to the manager. He’s talking about how the federal government is going to crush their enemies but he sounds like he’s whining about his Panera Bread order being wrong. And with his dumb fucking accent he sounds like fascist Pauly Shore.

    Headline is meh… AOC wants people to ridicule these people in power, you know, like how Tim Waltz called them “weird”. That was majorly effective, because it tarnishes the “strong man” image that these weirdos like to portray.

      Your right, we should only mock people about their skin color.

      I personally don’t care how we mock them as long as it is effective. If it hurts a few people’s feelings then that is a price we have to be willing to pay to help defeat this administration.

    I’m sure it’s because of his upbringing, and a direct result of his parents inflicting trauma on him, but this man is a monster. He needs to be punched in the face.

    Unless the information is incorrect, Google measures him at 5’9… Now, I’m no fan of fuck-face Miller, but why are we pretending like the exact median human height in North America is laughably short? AOC herself is 5’4. This entire height dunking situation is a bit confusing.

      Its not really about what is or isnt tall, its about what annoys him. If he believes that being 5ft9 is short, than calling him Smurfette will likely make his piss boil. Doesnt make it true, just makes it true that hes an insecure nazi dweeb.

      I’m short and i support this. Fascists like to feel superior for superficial reasons that are not separable from them: You don’t have to be good at anything if you’re superior because of your supposed genes. They like being disgusting Nazis. they like being evil and scary. makes them feel powerful. they don’t like being emasculated. Hit them where it hurts.

      men are kings and being a short is nothing to be ashamed of or insecure about. we’re human beings. I’m against making fun of human beings for their appearance. just a little while ago i said in a comment that I’m bothered by people making fun of the appearance of the Olsen twins. but when a fascist cunt goes around talking about how other people are inferior you have an obligation to remind him that he looks like a lizard covered in lube and he needs a new chin transplant.

      but fascists should be made fun of for things they value, not things we human beings value. they also like to pretend they’re the default/normal people so attacking them to there is good too. that’s why Walz’s “weird” was working so well. they lost their minds over that one word. but of course the Dem campaign had to stop Walz from doing it because they love losing.

        Would you be okay with calling Byron Donalds a N word?

        That’s where it hurts right? Picking out the weak spot and alienating him from his white supremacist party members who don’t defend him?

      Who thinks that’s an improvement? But I recall those commercials as well as everyone making fun of them. Now one of the biggest fascists in North America went on tv with that crap at one point.

      And the President of the United States allows him to run so many things. Crazy. I’m not sure Mad magazine could have wrote something so bizarre.

    The best way to deal with bluster and narcissism is the grey rock method.

    That won’t work here because of FOX and the influencers will then be the only source for communication with the Trump administration.

    The only thing that will work would be a general strike and Emperor’s New Clothes moment of huge protests in multiple cities with millions taking part.

    That is the only non-violent road forward. And the USA might be too big and too trapped in a digital maroon-ing to be able to coordinate that type of civil action.

    Laugh all we can. I agree. But there needs to be a nation-wide coordination of civil disobedience on a scale unseen in the USA ever before. It is going to require getting over differences that the Trump administration will leverage to divide and conquer.

      No. The best way is with humor (assuming you don’t have a gun handy). Fascists hate being laughed at. They want to believe they’re the baddest motherfuckers in the room, and cry like little toddlers the second they think they’re not. (Mel Brooks proved this time and again in WWII)

      That’s why the ‘stop being weird’ thing worked so well. That’s why Commander Failure had a breakdown to rival a tired four-year-old in his office after the US generals didn’t leap up out of their seats applauding him.

      Mock them. Belittle them. Laugh at them. Tell them they’re weird. It will get under their skin like nothing else.

        Fascists hate being laughed at.

        Sure, but how does this help?

        That’s why the ‘stop being weird’ thing worked so well

        Did it work? I count one orange fascist in the white house.

        That’s why Commander Failure had a breakdown to rival a tired four-year-old in his office after the US generals didn’t leap up out of their seats applauding him.

        So what? He’s still in office. He’s still ruining your social safety net. He’s still oppressing marginalized communities. He’s still crushing protests with military force. He’s still funding and running multiple genocides all over the world.

        Mock them. Belittle them. Laugh at them. Tell them they’re weird. It will get under their skin like nothing else.

        It might get under their skin but it will not help.

        Fascists (or autocrats in general) will not leave the positions of power just because you laugh at them. They won’t even leave if the majority of people laugh at them or vote against them. Look at Russia. I’m pretty sure most of the country was laughing at Putin 15 years ago. I assume you know how it went after that.

        They will leave only when forced out physically, or if there is a credible threat of imprisonment or death if they don’t. You need to have an organized and armed force on your side to do that. And neither the police nor the military will be.

        Organize.

        Join a union.

        Join PSL or other parties that actually try to fight fascism.

        For now (since revolution is pretty much impossible for a multitude of reasons) the most realistic way to force Republicans out of office is to make the billionaires funding them afraid. Make a realistic threat of a general strike, or even just block ports like the Italian port workers did, and Trump will be out of office in a week.
