“In attributing something to “mental illness,” people act as though it’s something innate. It can’t be helped. It’s just the way someone is. That person is irredeemable. And no sane or reasonable person would behave that way.
Racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and misogyny are not pathologies.
They are learned behaviors. Donald Trump is the way he is because of who he is — a powerful, privileged man who’s gotten everything he wanted in life in a culture where these behaviors are tolerated and sometimes actively rewarded. Many Trump supporters hold many of the same ideas he does, because they’re acculturated to them.
This #DiagoseTrump meme allows people to avoid the fact that we need to have a serious conversation about society, and the monsters of our own creation.”
