    This originated because she was laughing about sending parents to jail for truancy and’s now everyone makes fun of her laugh. They should make fun of her.

      i really dont think all the kamala pop girlie memes are about her laughing at truant kids. a bit glib even for libs. not to mention “silk press and laugh” was a kamala meme years ago. i promise the majority of people are not thinking of the truant kid thing. you dont even gotta touch grass for this just go to any non hexbear website.

    They do this with aoc too. Republicans were eating good during the 2016 era of anti-SJW but then they went right back to the pre-2016 era of sounding like out of touch old people.

  • That’s a good point, actually. When we speak to others aware of online left in-jokes, it can be easy to forget that there are people who are still completely unaware of her actual crimes. Are we really supposed to believe Libs of TikTok cares about a corrupt prosecution record?

      Yeah like I told the other person, noone outside of this website and a few other online left circles knows about that context. Everyone else just sees them making fun of a woman for laughing, which is an extremely lame line of attack.

        I think most people on Chapo.Chat the Citations Needed official fan blog, have understanding that they are talking with other liberals who enjoy the work of Marx and may even come here to get away from the nonsense infighting between chuds ands libs.

      • I think it’s stupid to rule out personal attacks when they’re accurate or ironic or something (read: I am not a debate lord please don’t think I am for saying this 😁) but when they’re essentially standing alone I never dip into that territory.

    I think they might be afraid to get the chuds riled up too soon, because they will jump straight to misogyny and racism. The GOP’s biggest weak spots right now are women pissed off over losing civil rights because of Trumps judges, and also a fear that the minority voters the GOP has been picking up will be turned off and go straight back to the Democrats.

      Chuds putting their foot in their mouths and turning off voters with weird misogyny and racism is going to do more to get Harris elected than any campaigning she does.

      (Or maybe a Trump landslide, I can’t figure out the electorate)

    I think “woman: laughing” is actually a pretty effective attack. Misogyny.

    Explaining why it works is difficult but it also worked very well to attack Hillary via her laugh as well. Look at anything about Hillary and it’s all “evil woman laughing”. They’ll do the same thing with Kamala.

    Before anyone says it’s not misogyny, you never see “Man: laughing” as an attack. There is a reason it only happens to women.

      On the other hand, Kamala doesn’t give the same “evil” vibes that Hillary. To be sure, she sold her soul to the machine, but to me it just seems like she’s nervous all the time instead of a machiavellian lizard robot

        They both appeal to wine moms/aunts but Kamala’s wine mom/aunt energy always came across a lot more genuine to me. When I watched that compilation of her laughing from the screenshot, it always seemed like sincere joy lol.

    Libs of TikTok is run by a Chabad lady considered too old to be unmarried by her community, who is currently single because her fiance left her due to her hateful posting. Seeing untempered joy, not derived from hurting or looking down on someone, is alien and unsettling to people like her and her followers.
