I know what i'm going to do!!!! I'm going to stay in my nice air conditioned home and hope everyone stays safe. so much left right division. Focusing too cloesly never fixes a life. It's focusing on fixing outside problems to fix ur life instead of ur immediate ones like eating or what is the nature and meaning of my personal inner happiness and that of those around me and what is the meaning of life. I'm going to focus on simpler questions etc. Philosophy might be an interesting but often boring ass hobby/distraction. I just don't want to be in a frame of mind of feeling bad all the time reading the news anymore some days.
Turning those people into living jokes is far more detrimental to their position of power than taking a gun and shooting at them, which only reinforces their "nazi-terrorists are coming!" narrative btw, and justifies all sorts of repressive measures as a result
A dictator needs to be scary for instance, charismatic, and beyond that any random politician needs to be seen as credible, serious, reliable, likable. Take those away from them by destroying their image, reputation, and their power over the masses becomes vastly diminished as a result
It's cheap and easy, anyone can do it, and it's funny
