I could post more, but you use the term mental , mental facility, mentally ill quite a bit.

It does suggest " mental" issues in itself.

You claim it's a democratic thing. Some may think it's a alt right Steve Bannon wannabe thing.

Opinions. They're out there.

 

I don't throw the term around lightly.  I have family who are mentally ill, so I see the signs.

 

You are correct, it exists on both ends of the spectrum.  I was referring to specific examples I see here.

 

I've also been politically on both sides of the spectrum.  The extremes of both are awful.  That's why I refuse to affiliate with either party.  However, I do see one obviously more destructive than the other - though it's as much career politicians as it is a left/right issue, getting rich in politics and the subsequent corruption affects them all.  It's simple economics.  You can't spend what you don't have, and every bill comes due.  Unfortunately most are happy bilking the taxpayers and leaving a mess for someone else and someone else's children to deal with.

 

There has been a "normalization" of the extremes, however.  Plus, most who call themselves "moderates" are anything but.

 

Maybe that's why there's "no difference" in some folks' eyes.  They're more OK with it because it's Trump and perhaps secretly (or not secretly) they were amused and pleased by the imagery.
