(980 posts)Dehumanization is effective in warfare in that it enables combatants to annihilate or mistreat other people without acknowledging their humanity. It does not, however, cause the enemy to retreat or rethink. We can't sway MAGA devotees by dehumanizing Trump. And, more importantly, when characteristics shared by your own troops, such as incontinence and obesity, are chosen as the tools of dehumanization, it can divide and depress your own fighting forces. So, as a tactical matter, and as matter of respect for one another, the diaper talk should end. That being said, creating memes specific to ego-driven leadership can demoralize or destabilize an egomaniac like Trump. I recommend sticking to Trump-specific memes targeting his ego such as smelly, orange, tiny hands, mushroom, muskrat hair, dumb, demented, broke scrub. He is also a racist rapist but I am not sure those labels bother him as much.
