        This is the dumbest comment I’ve read all day but I’ve been chuckling about it for a good couple of minutes.

        Armchair Derangement Syndrome. It’ll be in the DRM-3000, the biggest and best book by the bestest doctors who have spent decades researching the woke mind virus. It’ll also cover things like “Fluoride Delusion Disorder” - the belief that fluoride in public water isn’t a government brainwashing program.

      It’s always disappointing to see how much people on here hate people with mental disabilities. Under no circumstances would anyone be OK with comparing Donald Trump to another minority. I think even insulting him by calling him fat is perceived as too gauche. But ableism? 100% OK by most of Lemmy.

        I think most people on here are frustrated with the “sanewashing” by most media outlets.

        The drumbeat of “ableism” is more of a bell ringing to make sure that people understand that Krasnov is very unwell and seriously unfit for any decision making position.

        Wanting someone with disastrous mental health issues to not be capable of launching a nuclear strike isn’t ableism.

        Would you loan a gun to a friend who’s been really depressed lately? According to you, you should.

          Krasnov

          Wat?

          Wanting someone with disastrous mental health issues to not be capable of launching a nuclear strike isn’t ableism.

          Would you loan a gun to a friend who’s been really depressed lately? According to you, you should.

          Oh, I forgot that Truman, the only person in history to actually use nuclear weapons, famously only did so because he had depression. Or he was a perfectly mentally well person who was also a racist to the extent that he didn’t care about the lives of Japanese children. One of those. I always get it confused.

          Anyway, the answer to who I would loan a gun to and who should be capable of launching a nuclear strike is the same: no one. But I would trust your averaged depressed person with the nuclear codes more than I would Trump. To be clear: if Trump has a mental illness, that is not the thing that is wrong with him. What’s wrong with him is that he’s a fascist.

        They don’t hate people with disabilities, they just don’t want them to be President.

          That’s ableist though. Implies disabled people are inherently inferior if you don’t want them to be president.

          Roosvelt was in a wheelchair much of his time and he did “fine”.

          (Technically I’m against the idea of politicians at all so don’t feel like glorifying them).

            We’re not talking about “disabled people”, we’re talking about people with mental illness that impairs them.

            Roosvelt was in a wheelchair much of his time and he did “fine”.

            Physical disability is absolutely not be the same thing. Would you vote fuckin Ted Bundy for President?

            Technically I’m against the idea of politicians at all

            Okay so just complete anarchy then? Everyone for themselves?

            Airline pilots and train drivers must be passed as mentally fit before they’re allowed to control the destiny of a few thousand people.

            Perhaps at least that much care could be taken with the job that holds the ability to launch nuclear weapons.

      You’re right. There’s absolutely no evidence of Trump being not of sound mind.
