The Mental Health of the Typical MAGA Trump Supporter

A reader told me that the guy who attacked Nancy Pelosi’s husband is completely delusional, unlike the typical MAGA Trump supporter.

Yes, there is a difference between people whose actions are informed by strange voices in their heads, and, say, the typical January 6th insurrectionist, but it strikes me that this is a matter of degree and not kind.

If you believe that tens of thousands of journals around the world and the judges in 65 different courts in the U.S. all got the 2020 election wrong, and that Donald Trump is an honest person, you’re profoundly infirmed when it comes to thinking and processing information. Whether or not you’re hallucinating doesn’t matter much.
