1. This!

I had to force myself to watch the full Katie Britt response.

I'm always surprised at Republican talking points....but like this video points out, we need to rebut them one by one with facts.

2. Mockery is often an effective tool.

It's one of the few things that works on Trump, for example.

We can both rebut her obvious lies while laughing at the absurdity and ridiculousness of it all. The two are not mutually exclusive.

[tulipsandroses]

5. I agree. I used to be of the mind to laugh at Qkooks and all the absurdities

But I’m in agreement that we have to see them as a threat, not a joke. They are amassing power and want more of it. We are in this mess because too many saw trump as a joke. We can no longer make that mistake. Those of us on DU are steeped in politics. But many people just are not paying attention. Even in my own family. I’m sometimes gob smacked at things I sometimes hear.
Of course, it’s my responsibility to help steer them to a better understanding.
A lot of low information voters out there. I don’t mean that in a condescending way. Folks working hard, trying to keep their heads above water, are often not as dialed in.

31. All true. Good post.

30. Yes, a person who is a fool in public, deservedly become a laughingstock.

It is how society works.

And we can specifically comment on their foolish lies and cheating.

6. I'll let a founding father respond to this one

15. Have you fact checked that?

[Think. Again.]

7. It's true, we should never take ANYTHING rightwingers do lightly.

Sure, we should laugh at how ridiculous they look because they do look ridiculous.

But we should also, always, swing back hard and fast and put a definitive END to whatever they were doing that looked so ridiculous.

I worry more about the man that is probably controlling her.

[TexasBushwhacker]

24. Well, her husband is 6'8" and 300 lbs

He played tackle for the Patriots for a few years.

27. Sounds like

a heart attack in his 40s waiting to happen.

12. Thank you. From the title, I at first expected something different.

13. Mockery is appropriate.

Reason and self-interest don't work because they deny reality. Education might work in the long-term but they're dismantling their own educational systems. Re-education camps would be frowned upon and napalm is probably out of the question.

Voting may accomplish something assuming the electoral college, SC or insurrectionists don't intervene.

Until the leading insurrectionists are held accountable there isn't a whole hell of a lot to do other than remaining informed and ridiculing the hypocrisy, the lack of self-awareness, and the vast humanitarian void that resides in the center of their being.

19. Please, see post #6...

TJ backs you up, 100%. Providing he actually said that.

[limbicnuminousity]

20. Thank you.

Could use a pick-me-up today and that works.

23. It checks out...

You’re good to go.

Carry on!

16. I can see this tilting low-info Republican voting women.

It doesn't overtly insult or ridicule them. That's important to busy people who may make the time to vote if they feel like their vote is important.

17. She lied

Turns out this good Christian woman wearing a gold cross bald faced lied, I say, son, she lied, on TV. That 12 year old girl was trafficked and repeatedly raped - 15/20 years ago in Mexico. Please hold your horses, I am not in any way disparaging this poor child. This is horrific.

The very idea that any woman would lie about this in a national address for one person makes me physically ill. I hope she gets turned over to an ethics committee. Learn the lesson, lady, everything Trump touches dies.

Yes, elections have consequences. A sitting US Senator lying in a State of the Union rebuttal is so reprehensible it leaves me gobsmacked. There must be consequences for this behavior.

Have you NO shame, Madam?

[Boomerproud]

25. Your post was perfect IMO.

[Emile]

34. This good Christian mom supports a rapist for president.

How sick is that!

18. I don't know if I could ever force myself to watch the whole thing.

I started to watch on Wednesday night, but between the overly dramatic delivery, the Stepford wife vibe, the phoney "we moms have to stick together" schtick*, and the lies themselves, it quickly became unbearable. Fortunately, I started recording the SOTU coverage on MSNBC about 20 minutes before I started watching, so I was able to fast forward through most of her blather.

Fortunately, the entire text is available on line, so I don't have to endure the awfulness of her performance to find out exactly what lies she told, and I intend to do so in the near future.

*I am a mom, but I can't relate to women like her AT ALL. Maybe it's because that was never my entire identity. Being a mother to my daughter was and is just one aspect of my life; a very important aspect, but far from the whole thing, and I never felt like it made me some kind of extra special being, the way "trad wives" like Britt seem to think. (Blech!)

22. One can both take it seriously and mock it endlessly.

You've just got to do both. Take a lesson from the Weimar Republic. Those Nazi guys were a bunch of thuggish loons, but sometimes such idiocy plays, so keep a close eye on them and don't underestimate.

[NoMoreRepugs]

26. Amazing how EVERYONE in the RePutinican party LIES nonstop when in front of camera about what they believe in while

doing the exact opposite in their official capacity as lawmakers.

28. Thanks for posting!

I wasn't aware of this group.

[JustAnotherGen]

29. She actually has excellent talking points

We can use this year!

32. We're in the driver's seat...except there's no steering wheel and ChatGOP is navigating. nt

33. Ridicule the ridiculous.
