45. Sleep Depravtion - facts

Presidents and other leaders often disagree with and fire people who don't support their agenda.

But losing your cool on a daily basis and firing people who are doing their job and following the rules is either illegally unethical or insane.

Encouraging people to expose themselves to a deadly illness is NOT a sane and rational response. Was it crazy or intentional cruelty? Is there truly a difference?

I just want to know for sure WHICH it was.


Don't you think it at all possible that someone who has been advised since Jan 2020 that he lost an election and has seen almost 100 lawsuits dismissed for lack of evidence MIGHT consider the facts if that person were sane and rational?

DELUSIONS are a sign of mental illness.

Background: Going without sleep for long periods of time can produce a range of experiences, including perceptual distortions and hallucinations.


Conclusions: Psychotic symptoms develop with increasing time awake, from simple visual/somatosensory misperceptions to hallucinations and delusions, ending in a condition resembling acute psychosis. These experiences are likely to resolve after a period of sleep, although more information is required to identify factors which can contribute to the prevention of persistent symptoms.


NOW I personally know actual manic-depressives who I would trust to make logical decisions while on their meds, but who during a psychotic break do really stupid stuff. Dangerous to themselves and others kind of stuff.

Should a manic-depressive be banned from running for office? Probably not.

But should their mental health be constantly monitored in that case, yes. Just like all other pre-existing conditions. We want our President to be in their best physical/mental capacity so they can do this difficult job.


WHAT OTHER President has allowed over 1/5 a million people to die on his watch while fighting AGAINST solutions to the problem?

Maybe he isn't "insane" but just lazy and narcissistic.

Perhaps most tellingly, Trump has sidelined his most knowledgeable advisors. When he has disagreed with the infectious disease experts and epidemiologists who know best how to counter this invisible enemy, Trump quit listening to them. Instead, he has asked advice primarily from those whose main qualification is personal loyalty; they are not pressing him for an integrated federal response to COVID-19.

Imagine Roosevelt turning away from the advice of the military’s leading generals and admirals in the spring of 1942 and listening instead to the leading white supremacists of the day, such as the popular radio personality Father Charles Coughlin, who overtly expressed his Nazi sympathies, and the flyer Charles Lindbergh, who urged Congress to negotiate a neutrality pact with Hitler’s Germany.

Imagine what might have happened if Roosevelt had gotten tired of all the effort it was taking to oppose Japan’s fascistic imperialism in Asia and Nazi and Fascist expansionism in Europe and simply signed a neutrality pact with Hitler, Hideki Tojo and Mussolini only a few months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. That is, essentially, how today’s president of the United States has reacted to the deadly attack of COVID-19 on our country.


COMPARE AND CONTRAST:

Roosevelt will always be remembered by his words, “There is nothing to fear but fear itself.”

And Trump will always be remembered by his: “I don’t take responsibility at all.”
