True dickheads make fun of how other people laugh. Laughter is a pure form of human expression, a way for people to open up and connect to each other. It is a low-hanging fruit to use when insulting someone.
This is a dog whistle. She laughs like a woman (of color). I don’t think white men laugh in the same way, so every time you point this out, you effectively say that she’s not a white man.
Yes. Keep talking about this, Republicans! This is the perfect thing to show everytime right wingers come up with some stupid slander:
Looks like trump is melting.
Out of curiosity, I clicked the “Kamala Harris laughing compilation for 2 minutes straight” Twitter link. Her laugh doesn’t seem particularly objectionable to me, or even unusual. It’s just a woman having a good time. If anything, it made me smile.
What an odd thing to criticize. It says a lot more about him than it does about her.
They're bullies. Like, actual, factual, grade-school bullies.
*Also, here's a non-twitter link for everyone: https://files.catbox.moe/dtcdcr.mp4
Thank you for the catbox file! Seriously, she sounds fun and perfectly normal. However, to the repressed conservative, I can understand their scorn. If they can't laugh without going to hell then no one can!
I believe the joke here is that he has literally never seen a woman laugh or have a good time in his presence
Anyone who doesn't find that video endearing has something seriously disturbed going on in their head.
This is the first time I can recall having someone so human and genuine run for the presidency. Obama was close, but he was also so polished and reserved, probably because he felt he needed to be as the first black president. Kamala seems like someone who's really speaking from the heart, and I think that's what America needs most right now.
There's nothing special about her laugh... Republicans must have a very boring life if they never laughed like that...
He doesn't want her to have a good time, or for her to show she's relatable.
It could very well be as simple as that. He doesn’t necessarily hate her laugh. He hates the fact that she’s happy.
Nah it's just bullying. The way you make someone stop doing something is to make fun of it.
Of course, the perfect reaction would be for her to laugh in his face.
That's why he's dodging a debate with her. It would be like 2-hours of her laughing through his mic, even with her muted mic, while he flops around like Magicarp trying to answer simple policy questions without resorting to name calling and complaining about being unable to flush documents down a toilet!
Thanks for sharing that. Watching it made me happy. Her laugh is fun.
I feel like they're desperately trying to replicate the Dean Scream to invalidate her.
Problem is, I feel like condensing a quirk into a memeable video nowadays would only accelerate a campaign. Memes are so good at marketing that brands have been trying to harness them for a while.
There’s not enough footage to make a video of Trump laughing for two minutes. Man has no sense of humour.
They also made fun of AOC for dancing like a normal human being.
Make America Laugh Again
Ka-MALA
Also, do it in an ugly Ford.
Now THAT'S a campaign poster.
Keep Awesomely Making America Laugh Again?
...while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
-Nate White, on why British people don't like Donald Trump
To be honest, as a brit, when he first started running the first time I thought he was a ( literal) joke candidate. Like a US comedian that did absurd characters along the lines of Sacha Baron Cohen.
As did many of us. It’s still hard to believe those four years were real, but it seems like we’re still recovering from some unfortunate overdose of some drug we still don’t understand
This is the GOP throwing a fit in their death throes. Either take down the country in their fit or their party dies forever. It was fitting they chose this child to throw their tantrum for them
A couple days ago I posted in response to this silly attack on Harris that I cared less about how a person laughs, and more about what a person laughs at. I suggested that Trump would never laugh at anything that didn't involve his own good fortune or someone else's bad luck. That he never laughs is actually worse than that.
Yeah this post has made me realize I've never seen him experience joy except for that clip of him and Epstein
What kind of hell-scape-reality-tv-show-fuckfest dimension have I entered, when a candidate for the Presidential election is being judged, by a fucking laugh?
A laugh?
This is really bottom of the barrel, petty, childhood shit.
The sad thing is, I know there will be people that don’t vote for Harris her because of her laugh. And for every person that doesn’t turn up to the voting stations and vote because of whatever reason they have… remember that there are people that WILL turn up to the polls and believe your country should be run by a misogynistic, racist, uneducated convicted felon…
but hey… at least he doesn’t laugh.
It's on-brand for a group of religious puritans who flog themselves every time they can't marry a 14-year-old.
judged, by a fucking laugh?
Wouldn't be the first time a candidate was judged by a show of emotion. HYAAAAAHHH!!!!
"You laugh weird" says the child rapist.
Trump is like that villain in the Muppet movie who says "maniacal laugh" because he doesn't know how.
Holy shit they have nothing
Geriatric and demented old man angered by the sound of younger people laughing.
Her laugh is so endearing! Attacking her on this is so stupid and will backfire spectacularly. I really didn’t know a lot about her before she was picked for VP but I honestly haven’t seen many politicians able to speak and come across as genuine as she does.
Her laugh is totally normal. I’ve heard many women laugh similarly. 🤷♂️
I think Trump and his elephant harem are just not used to making women smile and laugh, so they are alarmed.
Debate! Debate!
I've seen him laugh one time, on a Logan Paul short. It was the oddest thing seeing Donald Trump laugh
