Actually, I'm hoping this already exists and someone can URL me some videos to laugh it. However, this form of the idea only came to me after I met a couple of impersonators yesterday. One guy was imitating Trump, and it was kind of frightening, but the other guy looked exactly like Kim Jong-Un, and he was terrifying... But he gave me this newish idea:
I want to see a comedy show where part of it is Trump leading the audience in a mock rally. Another part of the show would involve Big Kim (because he was taller than the real dictator) doing voice-overs to reveal what Trump is really thinking. The Trump would say something crazy or apparently inexplicable, and then freeze while Big Kim does the voice-over of what's going on in the punkin' orange head. Three categories there: (1) How whatever he said will make money for himself, (2) How the words will destroy his enemies, (3) Flashes of contempt for the suckers who believe him.
For the kicker, after some "jokes" about child separation, they would start the mock rally. Trump would lead the audience in a mob chant of "Lock kids up, LOCK KIDS UP!" The audience would find a Trump mask under their seats. It could be as simple as a piece of paper with an angry Trump face and a mouth hole. The mob would be a bunch of angry little Trumps led by the big Trump.
Of course (at least it's obvious to me) the real idea is to show how horrible Trump's angry chanting mobs are. Concretely, in the form of a short viral video of trying to lock up innocent children. I'm imagining about 30 seconds with a crescendo of angry unison in the middle gradually shifting to inchoate screams of rage. I know it's not likely that Trumpists can think, but maybe a few of them will see the video and actually think "Do I want to be part of that?"
Like I said, I'm eager to see the video, though I'd even be glad to buy a ticket to support the cause and to participate as part of the travesty of Trump and everything he stands for.

(349 posts)I forgot to mention the premise of that part of the joke is that only a crazy dictator like Kim Jong-Un can understand what is driving #Brokeahontas.
However, it looks like the topic has already vanished from DU without any trace... Would you believe this was supposed to be a kind of insurance policy? Me neither.

Or maybe it's my lightbulb icon? But I love lightbulb jokes. So...
How many Donald Trumps does it take to make the lightbulb GREAT again?

(349 posts)Or is it just me? Maybe I'm just completely out of tune with the Democratic Party? I admit that I am unable to find much of interest in the "popular" topics here, but I really was hoping for a URL to the video, for suggested improvements, or even a related but superior idea for a more effective anti-Trump approach.
What happened? Well, the idea received 246 "Views" and no detectable reactions of any sort, and now it has sunk completely out of sight, down to the 14th screen of the General Discussion.
Or maybe there's just no one out there. Maybe it's just a herd of sock puppets and a few trolls shepherding them?
