      It’s always disappointing to see how much people on here hate people with mental disabilities. Under no circumstances would anyone be OK with comparing Donald Trump to another minority. I think even insulting him by calling him fat is perceived as too gauche. But ableism? 100% OK by most of Lemmy.

        They don’t hate people with disabilities, they just don’t want them to be President.

          That’s ableist though. Implies disabled people are inherently inferior if you don’t want them to be president.

          Roosvelt was in a wheelchair much of his time and he did “fine”.

          (Technically I’m against the idea of politicians at all so don’t feel like glorifying them).

            We’re not talking about “disabled people”, we’re talking about people with mental illness that impairs them.

            Roosvelt was in a wheelchair much of his time and he did “fine”.

            Physical disability is absolutely not be the same thing. Would you vote fuckin Ted Bundy for President?

            Technically I’m against the idea of politicians at all

            Okay so just complete anarchy then? Everyone for themselves?

        This is the dumbest comment I’ve read all day but I’ve been chuckling about it for a good couple of minutes.
