      Of course I do. I love jokes about everything. If I think it’s funny, I’ll laugh. Trump, white supremacists, women, men, gays, trans, billionaires, the poor, physicists, slaves, whatever.

          Context and delivery is important though, because there is a difference between making fun of something and using humor to degrade others. For example, a generic shock humor joke about dead babies is different than a specific person’s dead baby that died in a tragic accident.

              The generic shock humor can be funny, the tragedy shouldn’t be.
