MAGA seem to be made up a lot of individuals with no patience to sit down and listen to song lyrics.
Is the bulk of them struggling with ADHD? cuz it kinda sounds like a trait of ADHD
Sounds like you don't understand ADHD.
At the risk of being a real killjoy, please don't use a real disorder to excuse fascists being fascists.
hello this is a legitimate concern i have. not a joke.
bigots can be preying on people with such a trait to get them to follow with little effort.
how are you not concerned that traits linked to a disorder can be a vulnerability that is manipulated?
especially on social media.
have you talked to a MAGA mind? have you listened to how they speak about their denials? i exclusively only run into it with family members that are suffering with adhd are almost exclusively white, cis male and suffering with an inability to concentrate on information for any length of time. they are diagnosed with adhd.
neighbor has two kids that have adhd and one is following some cult about eating raw meat and the other got kidnapped and manipulated by a gang.
i believe this is an overlooked disorder when it comes to cult hive minds and how easy it is to hijack someone who might have issues with concentration and difficulty in fitting in with a society that relies heavily concepts of survival by social gregariousness but little tolerance for neuro divergence and tend to too easily isolate away people in such circumstances.
leaves perfect hunting ground for predatory cult like thinking.
I‘m not american so I have no contact with american fascists. Sadly I have/had contact with european fascists and (even more important) I have read history books about who and why people joined the fascists and I know many neurodivergent folk (including myself).
There are and were neurodivergent fascists but their neurodivergence is not the reason for them being fascists and I know many neurodivergent people who are anything but fascists and are even crucial parts of anti-fascist groups and organisations.
In short, stop giving fascists excuses for their actions. They know what they are doing and only themselves are to blame.
I have ADHD and can understand English words, so pretty sure they're just dumb
But they seem so impatient and seem to refer to any time spent thinking things out is boring. I've only seen this with my diagnosed adhd family members who blame adhd for everything they do
