        I’m not defending him, I’m defending the innocent disabled people who are attacked as collateral damage when you use ableist slurs. You’re the one who’s attributing Trump’s evil to a mental disorder caused by childhood trauma, instead of attributing it to a choice. I think Trump chose to be evil. You think he has no agency in it. You’re the one who’s downplaying his willful, intentional fascism. I’m saying that he’s entirely to blame for it.

        Suppose someone says “Trump is a f*ggot! The reason he raped all this women is because he’s a perverted godless homo!” If I say Trump’s not gay, am I defending him?
