If it's about mental illness, then politicians need to stop enabling it

Stop with the conspiracy theories... QAnon, Pizzagate, birthers, white genocide, cultural Marxism, crisis actors, deep state, "globalists", etc.

It's not healthy political rhetoric, who even talks like that? "Cabal of pedophile satanists are secretly running the world from a pizzeria"

QAnon saying deep state Hollywood actors are being arrested by Trump but are being replaced by identical looking actors - That is literally the Capgras delusion.

When we let conspiracy theories enter the mainstream, the political culture basically said "Hey, maybe the voices in your head are onto something!"

We need to shut down anyone who pushes these conspiracy theories. It's the only way to save the political landscape... and maybe some lives.

If the El Paso shooter was mentally ill, as some are trying to blame it for what he did, then he didn't become mentally ill the second he fired that first shot.
