Democratic presidential candidate, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg latched on to what he characterized as “the irony of Trump’s insistence that mental illness is the key source of mass shootings when it is his policies that are generating the mental stress that pushes these people over the edge.”
“Let’s consider two examples,” Buttigieg suggested. “First, Trump’s economic policies have resulted in record numbers of people being employed. Work is one of the major sources of stress in a person’s life. The regimentation of the nine-to-five workday rat race dramatically reduces the amount of free time available to an individual. We shouldn’t be surprised if this spurs murderous impulses.”
“Second, Trump’s moves to decrease the frequency of abortions condemns individuals suffering from unwanted pregnancies to bear an increased risk of being burdened with parenting responsibilities they’d rather not have,” the Mayor asserted. “The ensuing surge in unwanted lives foments the anger that could easily inspire outbursts of homicidal rage.”
“If I am elected president I will reverse both of these policies,” he promised. “I will ratchet up taxes to dampen the economic expansion that has snared so many into wage-slavery. I will restore full federal funding for abortions and ensure that there are no restrictions as to who, how, or when they may be performed.”
In a more philosophic addendum to his remarks, the candidate cited a recent article written by Marcie Bianco in which she argued that “heterosexuality is just not working.” “The big downside of heterosexuality is that it is too easy to conceive a child,” Buttigieg observed. “Homosexual pairings do not bear this same level of risk. My husband and I will never be victimized by an unwanted pregnancy. Now that in vitro fertilization methods are available we have the means for evolving away from the accidental route to parenthood. The expensive, complex and arduous steps required will guarantee that only the most committed will become parents. I think full federal funding for this is the natural corollary for unrestricted abortion.”
In related news, Buttigieg pledged to “cut incarceration in half without increasing the crime rate. The key will be to decriminalize a lot of the offenses for which the current inmates have been imprisoned. We can start by eliminating all drug laws. Next in line would be to decriminalize all thefts in which the amount stolen is less than $1,000. Third would be the confiscation of all guns. Logically, if no one had a gun the entire category of armed robbery would be abolished.” Skeptics questioned the Mayor’s reasoning, pointing out that South Bend, the city he governs, has a crime rate more than twice the national average.

LOL! Well, buttplug may be on to something there. He is certainly driving the democommies nutz.
Mental illness? Like 2 men trying to mate? That kind of mental illness?
So lets un-employ everyone. I'm sure that will reduce stress levels! Can this guy even breathe without help?
ButterButt what? More clinical delusion being demonstrated by the Left. Sodomy is known to be deviant behavior by psychologically screwed up people.
Below is an excerpt from a medical analysis of the type of “projection” the Left uses. The dysfunctional mental state of the Delusional Lying Left is evidenced by pathological defensiveness, denial, and delusional projection, delusional paranoia, and fantasy. We on the Right should be using this as target practice against the psychologically dysfunctional Lying Left.
“The [Ego Disequilibrium] theory accepts the hypothesis that there is a hierarchy of defense functions with denial, delusional projection (including delusional paranoia), and distortion, the most primitive and hierarchically lowest defenses, followed by projection and fantasy...”
Anjan Chatterjee & H. Branch Coslett, The Neuropathologies of the Self (Chapt 11) in The Roots of Cognitive Neuroscience: Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychology, 243 (2014).
If you want to know what the Left is doing, just watch how they label the Right - it is EXACTLY what the Left is doing. The left is truly delusional.
