Looks like he was simply caught in the act of an honest reaction to what he was witnessing, not engaging in a form of protest. But I think this would be a great form of protest! I mentioned this once in some other thread, and seeing how Greenshirtguy has gotten some notoriety I’m thinking now’s the time. What better way could there be to protest someone like our current president and his supporters than laughing at them? It’s the one thing bullies can’t abide.
We should all be doing this purposefully and in groups: show up at events carrying no signs, wearing no provocative t-shirts, behaving normally and simply pointing and laughing when Trump and his ilk say… well, almost anything. Presenting logical arguments against the current nonsense is like the old saying about wrestling with a pig. It’s time we simply call them out as the buffoons they are with nothing but honest laughter.
Real laughter is spontaneous, and often contagious. Fake laughter is obvious.
I sympathize with the idea, and I agree that the usual protests are pointless. But I would not be able to do it. I’m afraid we must just accept the moment as it happened and be glad it was recorded.
It might work in theory, but I don’t think many people are capable of really pulling it off - assuming they’re the kind of people who would be angered by what a MAGA speaker would have to say. Hard to laugh (or at least, genuinely appear to laugh) at something that makes one angry.
Doesn’t sound like a plan designed to defeat (whatever that actually means) them, but to laugh at them. Which would accomplish something: humiliation. You know, in those trumpists capable of such self-awareness.
How could he *not *laugh? Loud mouth numpty taking a video of herself whilst she simultanously pulls her daisy dukes out of her arse is comical. Just watching *him *has me giggling.
Just to give a bit more perspective. She’s not just some MAGA hat wearing yahoo. She’s a founding member of the far right wing AZ Patriot (yeah, right) movement. She and her cohorts cause lots of trouble.
