"Milosevic only won because he made people afraid, & someone else said that the only thing that could trump fear was laughter. It was one of the wisest things I’ve ever heard.... #humor doesn’t just make you chuckle—it makes you think. We started telling jokes. Within an hour, it seemed to us entirely possible that all we really needed to bring down the regime were a few healthy laughs. And we were eager to start laughing."

Preparing for potus leaving office, I want to transition @45names when it happens (my bot that posts a nickname for potus every hour) when he does.
But, I only have 72 nicknames for Chesterfield Molesterfield.
(I currently have ~180 for the Orange Menace.)
Can you help me add to the list for Jimmy Dean Vaseline? Please sharing any nicknames you have for Lukewarm Miracle Whip?
Gotta have a smooth transition of mockery. 😝

Just added "The Emperor of 10,000 Taxes" to my @45names bot. Tariffs are import taxes.

You can follow the bot both places; it's free and useful when writing about current events (he wouldn't like his name not to be used).

Seeing as potus may leave office soon, I want to transition @45names when it happens (my bot that posts a nickname for potus every hour) when he does.
But, I only have 32 nicknames for the Creepy Veepy.
(I currently have 178 for the Orange Menace.)
Can you help me grow the list for Mister Vaguely Sentient Eyeliner by sharing any nicknames you know or can come up with for the Furniture Fondler?
Gotta have a smooth transition of mockery. 😝

Added 3 new nicknames to my @45names bot that posts a nickname for potus every hour.
It's very handy when writing something and wanting to use something other than his name.

@huntingdon @kenwhite.bsky.social I made an entire set of bots that mock potus every hour.
I kinda expect ice to abuct, torture and kill me for having done so.
@45names is just too amusing not to though.
Been adding nicknames to it periodically.
Plus, laugher can be quite a pro-democracy thing.

Should I add "Kankles McTaco Tits" to my bot that posts a nickname for potus every hour?
Reasons not to add: kinda about his physical appearance in a way he didn't choose.
Reasons to add: it made me laugh.
Thoughts?
My bot: @45names

@Dialectician @Maxfieldripken I just listed like half a dozen examples of places that did just that, and not sure I can help you further here.
Perhaps books like Pranksters vs Autocrats can help more than my reply.

@Maxfieldripken I can.
Poland (still not totally secure from autocracy, but pulled back from it).
Milošević https://nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/content/serbians-overthrow-milosevic-bulldozer-revolution-2000
Brazil (more than once I believe)
Kenya (1990s)
Georgia
Taiwan (ended one party rule)
South Korea (ended military rule)
Ukraine (2004-2005)
Myanmar
Egypt (early 2000s).
Non-violence has been effective, often more than violence.

Thank you to @Shannamichelle and @jt_rebelo for suggesting hilarious names for my @45names bot that posts a name for 45 every hour.
Adding them to the code now.
(note: I won't always add all suggestions. That said, other people have great ideas, often better than mine, and thank you for entertaining me and anyone who follows the bot).
The bot is on Mastodon and Bluesky:

I just emailed US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 5 things I did this week.
I don't work for Federal Government, but neither does elongated muskrat, depending on who you ask.
You can email yours to [email protected] too, and have some fun with it.

Serbian activist Srđa Popović used "laughtivism" to undermine Slobodan Milošević's regime. Otpor! famously placed a barrel labeled with Milošević's face on the street, inviting people to hit it, turning Milošević into a public joke.

Authoritarians succeed, when they convince you of:
1) You are alone
2) There are no alternativesSrdja Popovich on resisting authorities through ridicule.
