The joke of ridiculing non-cis white men or trans people by using a high pitched voice to implicate the one being not the norm to be less male. The phone horn being a phallic symbol in this context, as a call to what we perceive as being manhood and the silly hanging sack being tickled.

The next step Geert Wilders (the big far right party in the Netherlands) is following from the Fascism guide book: spreading confusion about the voting results from the last elections. For @decorrespondent.nl
