Forty-two percent of likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers said that former President Trump’s recent remarks about immigrants “poisoning the blood” of the country makes them more likely to support him…
MAGAt crap is designed to exploit mental illness and nurodivergence
I don’t know their point better than they do, guess they were just a little uninformed (or drunk like I happen to be, when making a snarky remarks not really knowing stuff).
I do find they don’t exactly exploit mental illnesses, disorders, but their marketing campaign, akin to gambling ads, is made to leech on the liabilities we all have, some worse than others. I mean e.g. I don’t think many persons on the spectrum are pro-trump that such wording implies.
But firing lying rants one after another to overwhelm and overwrite old info (adhd), playing into magical thinking and random connections (schizophenia), into baseless mix of pride and self-loathe, power and fear (narcissism), they kinda use these traits which are actually common in us. They just get classified as a disorder when it’s so strong you can’t handle it (in doc’s opinion). There’s no clean cut between being well and ill, really, even if it’s a cold brain chemistry alone. Yet, I would like to put really struggling people into another box.
And these tactics were used before we even started to discover these problems and treat them. Even now, I guess, most people who were there for Jan 6 can’t be classified as mentally unwell. Most nazi maneaters were completely rational opportunist and acted along their social norms, making it kind of healthier than not being a nazi, as it’s judged by the commoner’s thoughts.
They are mostly completely healthy people. And I think OP’s just didn’t care much saying that. That’s kinda usual too, but tone-deaf, since I guess Lemmy have more diagnozed or just aware people than the general population - for being in that niche means they have more resources and time to educate themselves about such topics. Maybe it was worth the upvotes tho.
