As someone with a mental illness, I notice this a lot. All of a sudden when you say something whitey disagrees with, they will say you don't actually believe what you're saying, that it's just mental illness making things out to be worse than they are. Like if I say republicans are not good people, including family members (not like libs are any better, but, y'know). You point how they still vote for ghoulish policies and you're the bad guy trying to divide the country due to Russian propaganda targeting crazy people like yourself.

This happened with one of my uncle's friends. They've been friends for over 40 years since college. My uncle's friend sent him an e-mail one day about how he didn't want to associate with anyone anymore who supports Trump, doesn't believe global warming is real, is racist, or homophobic. My uncle said his friend went crazy and hopes his mental problems can improve. The so-called liberals in my family agreed with my uncle.

Just no. Fuck 'em. If you support racists because they offer lower taxes, you're a racist. And racists are evil. I don't give a shit if you send me a birthday card. When my mom passes away, I have no intention of sticking around these people. I agree with my uncle's friend. Mental illness ain't got nothing to do with it. These people deserve all the hatred and vitriol we can muster. They actively and knowingly make the world a worse place, but think you can still have a positive relationship with the people affected by their decisions.
