A couple of days ago,I posted a story wherein I explained how I had left the GOP because they had, in my estimation, gone completely insane. Several of the people who read the story balked at my assertion, arguing that the GOP had always been corrupt and evil and elitist etc. etc. These people are misunderstanding the point of my post. I am not using “insane” as a metaphor or a pejorative in regards to political sins, or in any kind of hyperbolic sense. I am literally saying that large numbers of the Republican Party (including influential members of Conservative media) have become mentally unstable and/or insane.
Some of you may say that I am denigrating the mentally ill with this comparison. Nothing could be further from the truth, because I’m not making a comparison. I am literally saying that key figures in the Conservative movement have gone insane and need to seek help.
We could argue back and forth regarding the definitions of insanity, and the possibility that someone like Alex Jones is just “acting” insane as opposed to actual mental illness. But all you have to do is watch the actual video evidence to see that Alex’s insanity is very real, and very dangerous. Dangerous because of the huge numbers of people who follow him and worship at the InfoWars altar.
Exhibit A: (All Video Clips Contain Offensive NSFW Content) Alex Jones
Exhibit B: Gavin Mcinnes
Exhibit C: Phil Davison (the forerunner to Trump)
……….…………….……….………….……..…………….………….…………………….……………….………………………………..
Exhibit D: The “Intellectual Dark Web” (EXTREMELY disturbing content) Here is Trump fan stabbing himself in the face (allegedly to remove "Deep State" facial implants at Alex Jones’ suggestion ) www.crazyshit.com/...
Exhibit E: Alt-right figurehead and Breitbart.com senior editor Milo Yiannopoulos defending pedophilia
After watching these videos is there any question that the so called “Conservative” movement has serious mental health issues? Three of the people in the previous video clips should receive mandatory mental health counseling/ treatment ASAP. One (and maybe two) of the people should face legal scrutiny. And again, Alex Jones is not just a minor player in the Conservative movement. Alex Jones was a key factor in the rise of Donald Trump and the alt-right movement. Milo Yiannopoulos was senior editor of one of the biggest Conservative news outlets Breitbart.com.
And do I even have to mention that 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health experts put together a book entitled “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump” www.theguardian.com/… A book wherein they question and sanity and mental health of the most powerful man in the world. Today’s news about Gen. Mattis’ resignation being further evidence that Trump is an unstable and unpredictable threat to our nation’s security. Perhaps in normal times the Republican rank and file would stand up against this lunacy, but it’s become quite clear that these are not normal times.
