Sir, Mocking Cancer Isn’t Strength. It’s Rot. 🤬

Our latest piece goes straight at something that should never need explaining: mocking illness is not power. It’s not humor. It’s not “telling it like it is.” It’s what’s left when the well is dry and the soul is hollow.

When Donald Trump stood on a stage and made coughing noises to score cheap laughs at Joe Biden, it wasn’t politics anymore. It was cruelty for applause. It was a man with a microphone choosing mockery because he has nothing else to offer.

This one is personal. It’s angry. It’s darkly funny. And it’s rooted in lived reality, not punditry. If you’ve ever sat in a waiting room. If you’ve ever watched someone you love fight for breath. If you’ve ever wondered how we got this numb to basic human decency, this video is for you.

Watch it. Sit with it. Share it if you feel that familiar burn in your chest that says, this is wrong and I’m tired of pretending it isn’t.
