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.
I think most people on here are frustrated with the “sanewashing” by most media outlets.
The drumbeat of “ableism” is more of a bell ringing to make sure that people understand that Krasnov is very unwell and seriously unfit for any decision making position.
Wanting someone with disastrous mental health issues to not be capable of launching a nuclear strike isn’t ableism.
Would you loan a gun to a friend who’s been really depressed lately? According to you, you should.

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.
Physical disability is absolutely not be the same thing. Would you vote fuckin Ted Bundy for President?
Okay so just complete anarchy then? Everyone for themselves?
Lol, is this your first time encountering an anarchist?
No I’m just in complete shock that they exist every time. It’s like coming across a flat-earther.
I feel the same way each time I come across a lib, so it’s a mutual experience
Airline pilots and train drivers must be passed as mentally fit before they’re allowed to control the destiny of a few thousand people.
Perhaps at least that much care could be taken with the job that holds the ability to launch nuclear weapons.
