Qasim Rashid, Esq.I’m convinced Republican politicians don’t actually believe mental illness causes gun violence. But they do it because they just know that demonizing people with mental illness has no political consequences and also that doing so buys them enough time to feign outrage until the next mass shooting dominates the news cycle.
FroggyMcTickles@QasimRashid someone else said it already, but they use the excuse of mental illness while cutting expenses for mental health, but, if I may add, Republican gun nuts also conveniently leave out the other half of the equation. They’re missing the fact that the policies passed by themselves and corporatist/establishment democrats have essentially caused a pandemic of state imposed desperation. You deal with that, I’m willing to bet anything I have that crime will go down.
