This decentralization of humor ensures that the "public right" to mock is practiced daily by millions of people, making it one of the most active and vibrant parts of the modern public square.Ultimately, the reason people love making humor with political figures is that it feels good and it feels right. It is a way to find joy in a subject that is often stressful, divisive, and grim. Laughter is a biological signal of safety and connection; by finding the humor in politics, we reclaim our right to be happy and engaged citizens rather than just subjects of a state.
