55. Mental illness is no excuse for his hateful behavior

And those of us who have struggled with mental illness resent when people act like our condition is automatically a get-out-of-jail card because we're just too out of our bloody minds to know better. Unless the mental illness is full-blown schizophrenia, the mentally ill do know better. You're treating us like we're not capable of that--when we are.

Again, outside of full-blown untreated schizophrenia, being mentally ill does not mean that we aren't responsible for our actions, and it certainly doesn't permit us to be immoral or do immoral things without consequence. It doesn't mean that we can tell a judge to his face that he's running a kangaroo court and thenexpect tea and sympathy by crying mental illness.

In fact, most of us who've had a mental illness would never do anything like that--either the stupid remark, or the crying part.

He can try to blame his wretched behavior on mental illness, but i don't put much store in that sort of claim from a MAGAt. They're all known liars.

What is patently obvious is that he's an arsehole, and that's not a mental illness; it's a character deficiency.
