Likening people in the U.S. illegally to “human locusts,” Zuchowski wrote on a personal Facebook account and his campaign’s account: “When people ask me… What’s gonna happen if the Flip-Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins?? I say … write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards!” That way, Zuchowski continued, when migrants need places to live, “we’ll already have the addresses of their New families … who supported their arrival!”

    Laughing Hyena

    Setting aside the racism there, what exactly is the right’s obsession with Kamala’s laugh? I’ve heard “Cackling” as well.

    Should I be inspired to hear that lord and savior Donald Trump never ever laughs - assuming that’s even true?

      Laughing Hyena

      That’s racism and misogyny, all bundled up into two words. The cackling thing is what they say when they think a woman isn’t meek enough. They particularly say it about women in positions of power, especially if they have the nerve to look happy.

        The discomfort towards having women in positions of power goes back to the bronze-age morality of the bible. It’s the same reason the traditional churches don’t allow women to head the church or preach: they believe woman let the devil tempt and deceive them, and then they went and “caused man to sin”. Then Paul came along and made sure women were put in their place in the New Testament.

      They believe anything that isn’t “tough” or “manly” is weakness. They’re just pathetic and unbelievably insecure
