Friendly reminder that calling Donald Trump, MAGA truthers, and conspiracy theorists any variation of "psychotic", "schizophrenic", or "delusional" isn't the progressive take you think it is.
It's so harmful for two very important reasons:
First, it's extremely ableist. There are actual people with psychotic disorders, schizophrenic-spectrum disorders, and delusions. Psychosis and delusions and mania can be extremely debilitating, and many people with these conditions end up abused by the prison and psychiatric systems. People with psychotic disorders are more likely to be victims of abuse, not perpetrators. People with these illnesses and conditions are not bad or evil. It is not okay to label someone you don't like as having these conditions. It is demonizing an already marginalized group of people.
Second, Donald Trump and every other Far-Right conspiracy theorist don't believe the things they do because they're delusional. They believe in what they believe because they're racist, antisemitic, and homo/transphobic. Racism isn't a mental illness. You are taking away the responsibility on these people for their harmful actions, labeling them as merely mental illnesses and not deep-rooted bigotry. There are so many people with psychotic disorders who are not bigoted.
Your ableism isn't progressive. Your abuse apologetics aren't welcome.

Having survived abuse from people with mental illnesses, I know the urge to warn others to be wary of those mental illnesses. I know how often it can feel like that is your only power in life…the only action you can take against what you went through. But listen. Just because a mentally ill person caused you complex trauma, doesn’t mean you get to generalize and slander and malign every person with that mental illness.
You do not have to forgive your abusers. but you do have to heal without spreading stigma and misinformation. you do have to heal without antagonizing or dehumanizing others who are also just trying to heal. you have to help break the cycle. because nobody can heal alone.
