DUmmy RagAss brings up mental illness, a subject which is like a DUmmy magnet. Any thread mentioning insanity is instantly awash with DUmp lunatics, and this one is no exception. It has gone from a bonfire to a raging inferno. For some reason, the subject has an irresistable attraction for DUmmies. I wonder why that is.

Am I wrong to treat Repugs like I treat the mentally ill ?
Anyway, it works for me. The stress is gone and I can get on with what's important.

1. yes you are. I feel sorry for the mentally ill.
I don't feel sorry for Republicans. They're just plain evil. It may up your blood pressure to realize that, but c'est la vie.
But what about the homeless?

3. I make a concentrated effort to hold onto disastisfaction with unjust situation.
It is possible for some to get use to them. So it takes some thought and feeling to make sure you hold the feelings of need of change, and don't become docile or submissive to wrong.
Not always easy to find ways to resist wrong, but there are times when the smallest actions of expression of the situation is enough to keep things changing.

5. It depends how you treat the mentally ill
I've been diagnosed with a mental illness myself.
What!?! I am shocked.

6. It isn't so much wrong as too nice. They should be treated like lying, stealing, murderous traitors.

11. All Republicans are...
"lying, cheating, murderous traitors"?
Yeah, that'll win us lots of converts.
This DUmmy is constantly treading on thin ice. He attacks the worst lunatics, like troofers, constantly, but unlike most people who try to inject sanity, he hasn't yet been banned. His days are numbered.

21. You have a better description of their policy outcomes and goals?
Don't want to be called a spade then select a different suite.
Standard level of democrat literacy.

35. I also forgot greedy, myopic, stupid, banal, racist, bigoted, anti-human, anti-self determination,
soul crushing, theocratic, authoritarian, and wicked.
Your loser "conversion" pogrom is predicated on us assimilating their failed and evil ideology and policies under a false flag of "pragmatic progressivism" designed to sweep up Democrats into a corporate dominated uniparty.
Some DUmmies are as crazy as libertarians.

12. A Mentally Ill Person Can't Help It; Republicans Choose To Be The Way They Are
So, yes, they SHOULD be treated differently.

16. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Most Rethugs that I know have some form of mental illness.
DUmmy peacenumbers lives in an institution, so yes, most Rethugs he knows are mentally ill.
Few DUmbasses are as evil and hateful as DUmmy Warpy:

51. That's not our job
Our job is to cope with them on a daily basis while doing our utmost to keep them out of political power.
That means treating them with as much compassion as we would any other mentally ill person while voting and encouraging everyone we know to do likewise, no matter how "unimportant" the election.
I think a lot of people are getting a very hard lesson in why all elections are important.

53. You're conflating corruption and sociopathy with mental illness. All dysfunction doesn't arise out of mental illness.
Poor stupid Beth learned the word "conflating" before Doug tossed her unabridged dictionary in the fireplace. It's just as well he did that, because now she wouldn't have room for it in the camper.

48. Is that how you view people with mental illness
people who babble delusions?
Is that how you think of me? I've had clinical depression for three years now.
I have felt that way about poor, stupid Beth for a lot more than three years.

45. How about treating the mentally ill with some ****ing respect and tolerance?
For you to conflate one group with the other as per your OP is intellectual garbage.
There's a whole lot of conflatin' goin' on out there!
