Making Fun of People Shows Who You Are, and Who You Are Not

This will be brief and won’t apply to everyone but….

A nation that laughs or scoffs at Biden’s speech impediment is a nation who accepted Trump’s derogatory imitation of a disabled journalist.

If you disapproved of Trump’s puerile display, have you criticised those who ridicule Biden’s problems with pronouncing certain letters?

Or do you snigger with the crowd?

Laughing at someone’s disability, even a mild form, shows a lack of character. Perhaps it is these people whose votes should not be counted until their owners have become adults.
