    These aren’t weird people with mental health issues standing on the corner with signs. These are elected Republicans. I’m afraid of Republicans. I’m afraid of the world. I’m afraid I can’t help it.

      They in fact are weird people with mental health issues.

      I think a case can be made that a considerable amount of the ugliness we see in the world is a fairly direct consequence of the simple fact that a significant number of people in positions of power and influence are profoundly mentally ill.

        The 1% has an undiagnosed hoarding mental illness. However, much like a gambling addict who always wins, no one thinks there is a problem.
