I want people to point and laugh at them because it pisses them off, and because laughter is healthier than this “DEMOCRACY HAS FALLEN, A THOUSAND YEARS OF DARKNESS IS UPON US AND THERE’S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT” mindset that’s been getting preached around here. We can’t fight them by giving up.
