    Yeah. What seems to.pretty consistently make them run for the hills isn’t insults, but laughter. When people are yelling in fear and anger, fascists feel powerful. But when people laugh, they feel weak and vulnerable.

    It also makes it a lot harder for them to justify violence. You say they need to be hanged and they’ll claim you were threatening them and kill you. But it’s harder to make that argument when there’s video of a crowd laughing at mockery.

    Why do you think Trump hates comedians so much?
