It's 2022.
Can we please not use ablest language when describing people we disagree with & can't stand?
Many people, including those on this very website have mental health issues & much of it is severely underfunded in this country.

Thank you

Making excuses to be ablest ain't it.
And just because the other side does it isn't an excuse to act like them either.
What got us Trump was the Electoral College, not your inability to use language which punches down on people with mental health issues.
Jeez.

Amazing people think there’s actually a way to be “too mean” to Eloon and Trump etc.

No fat shaming because Dump is fat and that might offend someone. No making fun of trumps orange hue because it might offend people with Carotenemia. No making fun of Dump Jr’s Coke habit because it might offend addicts. And we can’t talk about how old Charles Grassley is, and how unfit he is to serve at 90, because that’s ageism.
