    Not to rain on the parade but this dude was fairly crazy. So long as extreme division is still being peddled over the… every single form of media, nothing will change.

      “No you’re not allowed to call fascists and terrorists what they are, that’s divisive!”

        It’s about as helpful as putting the onus on gun violence on mental health. You’re allowed to call them a terrorist, you hotdog. Dude’s still crazy and influenced but Fox News.

        That should happen. The problem is they hesitated on it for far too long.

        The problem is the alternative reality of a cluster B personality disorder (alternative reality is a hallmark of that mental illness) has been hardcore peddled by the medias as normal, like his internal delusions and fixations are part of a normal this or that discussion, like whether you prefer to work night shift or day shift and why, instead of treating it as what it really is: not reality.

        If not reality had been shut down instead of explored from day one, this would not be the problem it is today.

        This, what we are living, is Trumps hard core mental illness given encouragement and validation, grown large. Cluster B personality disorders ARE mental illness.

      Yeah, this wasn’t your typical MAGA nut. He was quite extra. Plus, he attacked one of our top federal officers, aiming for 3rd in line to the Presidency.

      Lots of reasons this guy is getting buried that didn’t/won’t apply to your typical MAGA terrorist.

      Typical lemmy, downvoting OP because you sense he might not be saying something you like.

      Hey OP! Call Trump some childish names so we all know where you stand!
