It's simply a frustration of hitting one's head against the wall with a group that is causing widespread damage to society and who heeds no appeal to reason or morality. Call it for lack of better words. I've edited my comment and adjusted my words to better reflect my position and be more respectful to lumping all with mental illness in with such a group, but with that I absolutely will dig my heels in here until better reason is presented. Frankly, I think you are the one who is making uncalled accusations and outlandish claims now.

Edit: To your edit:

There is nothing explicitly wrong with being homoexual. And while there is something explicitly wrong with being a pedophile, the flaw in that is that there is an accusation of being a pedophile that is the problem -- we don't have that issue here since this entire discussion is about Trump supporters proudly announcing their identity and immorality. That is the difference.

with a group that is causing widespread damage to society

What group is that? All mental illness havers? You must take back your words before I take you seriously. I edited my previous comment while you were replying to it.

Frankly, I think you are the one who is making uncalled accusations and outlandish claims now.

I don't know what claim I am making besides you said that you are happy that you can now easily identify "all mental illness and bigots". If that claim is outlandish, please say so. Did you not say that? Is there an apology I missed?

What group is that?

As I wrote very, very clearly: Trump supporters.

That you can now easily identify “all mental illness and bigots”.

That you believe it's a problem that I am able to identify and avoid people who proudly broadcast their own ignorance and lack of appeal to reason and moral standards is somehow a bad thing -- you'll have to make a very compelling counterargument.

Ok, there it is. I misjudged you. Sorry. It seems that you are in fact an asshole.

[you said that you are happy] that you can now easily identify “all mental illness and bigots”.

That you believe it’s a problem that I am able to identify and avoid people who proudly broadcast their own ignorance and lack of appeal to reason and moral standards is somehow a bad thing

I didn't think you would go there. I thought you saw what you were doing. I don't know now. I'm done.
