      Having humor about something doesn’t mean not taking it seriously

      Relevant evergreen post from AOC

      Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

      We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

        When it reaches a point where your opposition is belligerent to grievance, mockery is the best option.

      Memes are what get spread around the internet. Spreading the message of the protest is the point. If it takes humor to get different generations to coalesce, then so be it.

      I don’t see many under 40 listening to NPR and 60 minutes, got to try different methods.
