I learned my lesson, Mr. Ignore button is now implemented so as to avoid this kinda of thing in the future.

I like to think that I'm in good company, as far as "devoting an entire thread to questioning the mental health of people" who support and/or work for

it is in their own best interest, and that of the country's, to do it. I did not single you out as someone who fits that description.
Here's a well respected journalist and commentator who seems to be making
similar observations and comments about delusional politicians and their
supporters as I did in my "mental health" thread. Go figure......

When ideology and theology couple, their offspring are not always bad but they are always blind. And there is the danger: voters and politicians alike, oblivious to the facts....................
