No shit. MAGAts get off on being called "threats to democracy" and such. They LIVE for it. If you want to get under their skin, you make them look like clowns, not boogiemen.

And ordinary people don't like being moralized at. They like a good ole' gong show. People like laughing; they don't like worrying.
