Yeah but I mean people have been saying that about Kanye for years
Abusing & exploiting mental health diagnoses to pathologize political dissent has a long, ugly history. Medically diagnosing someone from afar ("he's off his meds") is always reckless. When done to demonize someone for their political views, it's worse than reckless.pic.twitter.com/53roRIyZfK

Uhhh Kanye is not expressing "political dissent". Implying *that* is reckless.

Maligning people for their mental health is dangerous, but you know what else is dangerous? Equating white supremacist views with "political dissent".

It's actually possible to vehemently dispute someone's political and historical statements without accusing them of being mentally ill.

Glenn, how is declaring support for the current president “political dissent?” This seems like a stretch.

First, that's far from the only point he's making. Second, Trump is a very unpopular president generally, but particularly in the cultural centers of power in which he works; it's not dissent in Alabama, but it is in Hollywood and Manhattan.

Classic Guardian tactics - smear those who don't match their Blairite world views.
