    So you think Jewish space lasers, the communist plot to steal the election, and Haitians barbecuing dogs is rational stuff that any well-adjusted person could believe?

    This isn’t the GOP of a couple of decades ago that was wrong and monstrous - this is actual insanity.

      I’m not saying that Republicans are well-adjusted or that their beliefs are defensible. I’m saying that they aren’t mentally disabled, and you shouldn’t use disability as a cudgel to bash in people you don’t like. Stupidity isn’t a disability, nor is evil, and I have no intent of treating them like they are.

      You either want to protect Republican beliefs as a byproduct of a disability, which to that I say: fuck that, I intend to hold Republicans responsible for what they say and do.

      Or you want disabled people to be punished for being disabled, because you think mental disability is a trait worthy of condemnation, which to that I say: fuck off you fucking fascist, disabled people deserve compassion and support.

      I believe that Republicans are of sound mind, and are either extremely stupid or extremely evil. I offer zero forgiveness for those things. They should be held responsible for it, and not given the easy cop-out of being “disabled”.

      If it were a disability, I wouldn’t hate them, I would pity them. I don’t pity them, I hate them, because everything that’s wrong with them is their fucking fault.
