Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wants you to laugh at her. In fact, your laughter and mocking are among the Georgia Republican's greatest weapons.
Laughter is a type of dismissive behavior. Moreover, many people laugh when they are scared, hysterical or in denial. To laugh at someone is to not take them seriously. Laughter is also a way of gratifying one's ego and asserting some type of superiority. When one laughs or mocks a person they generally assume that the other person cares or is somehow vulnerable to such acts.
