My simple theory on the psychology of mocking T Rump [View all]

[CommonHumanity]

I was sitting here procrastinating on my work and thinking about Newsom's stellar long overdue trolling of T Rump as well as Mary Trump saying mockery is the best way to undermine the vile orange fascist mafioso. This is what occurred to me:

Apparently the maga types feel looked down upon by democrats, educated people, the amorphous elite class and a long list of others. To avoid digressing, I'll put aside the fact that this narrative of condescension is largely propaganda-driven, false and ridiculously simplistic. Anyway, this narrative says these forgotten people feel looked down upon and feel Trump's bullying behavior speaks for them and allows them to identify with a so-called strong man who is on their side. In a brilliant case of truth is stranger than fiction, the destructive selfish orange dictator is cast as the ultimate alpha male.

Calling T Rump out as an obese, orange, spray-tanned, hair sprayed, diaper-wearing idiot with cankles recasts that image and, most importantly, makes him an undesirable figure to identify with. YES! If your misguided self-concept makes you identify with an alpha male, then fucking crush his false alpha male image so that people brain-washed by toxic masculinity are ashamed to identify with him.

Mind you, I am vehemently opposed to body-shaming in every other instance, but 100% behind it in this case. I never ever mock anyone for their hair, weight or other characteristics. I do not even think that way about people. However, I think this is different. By way of explanation, if I personally knew someone who was overweight, ugly, utterly vile and harming me and others, but cast themselves as a trim, altrusistic beauty queen, I think I'd call them out as delusional in multiple ways.
