satire and ridicule is a very powerful political weapon
Leftists are impervious to logic, kindness, rationality, truth, history, law, the Constitution, verbal abuse, and nearly everything else you throw at them.
But the one thing they cannot abide is ridicule. It makes their mask of sanity come loose, which is why Trump is driving them mad. He thinks nothing at all of ridiculing them...he even gives them derisive nicknames because he KNOWS it makes them even more insane than they already are!
