“There shouldn’t be a stigma against people who seek help for mental illness!”
“But we need to permanently ban them from ever owning guns because they’re not competent people.”
Those are seperate? There’s a difference between someone with autism that has self control and someone who lacks empathy paired with a violent history? Mental health illness isn’t the prerequisite for monitoring gun ownership rights. It’s malicious intent or a violent history.
There has probably always been just as many ADHD, autistic and etc people. Back in the 14th century life was just simpler and if you were capable enough to manage to herd goats, nobody cared if you’re a bit weird
no offense but i need everyone to stop saying that “we survived” bad presidents before. like, i get it, the country has weathered people like andrew jackson and ronald reagan and will probably weather trump. but when you say “we survived” andrew jackson? tell that to the 4000 (of 16000) cherokee who died on the trail of tears. “we survived” ronald reagan? tell that to the 650,000 americans who have died of aids– a national health crisis which reagan refused to even recognize?
you know who “survived” presidents like trump? people who never had to be afraid of them in the first place.
People talk about politics as if it’s this isolated, abstract concept that only matters at election time. Somebody’s politics is their world view. It’s whether they think certain human beings deserve rights. It’s how they think the world should be. And if somebody thinks that the world should be colder, meaner, less accepting and downright hostile to people that are different to them, then sure as fuck is the friendship over.
god it’s so annoying how delusional ass conservatives act like millennials are “offended by everything” for standing up to things like blatant racism and sexism, meanwhile there’s a conservative outrage every time starbucks releases a cup without “merry christmas” on it
any white at a protest who tries to go against police and deliberately provoke a response from them is not to be trusted and does not have the safety of black and brown people in mind.
