and what do those have in common? Lies and conspiracies and they are treated as such by those outside of their cult bases as they should be
just as I said in my initial post it's used as a weapon to try to sway elections and that is a grave injustice to those suffering from mental illness, those involved in helping treating and diagnosing it responsibly, and those affected by the stigmas surrounding it
Win the election with the voters without sacrificing progress in the suffering community of those struggling with mental illness.
This didn't stop the left from all their wild accusations and conspiracies and unqualified diagnoses of Trump anyway. Calling right wingers crazy doesn't hurt people like Trump politically but it does contribute to harm caused to those that suffer socially from it every single day of their lives.
the votes in those "cult bases" you speak of count just as much as any other...

The medical profession and cable news propaganda should be held to two entirely different standards.
yes they should, but they aren't, i.e. the votes of a medical professionals& their patients and the votes of news propagandists& their viewers have equal value in a democracy...
why people are against the Goldwater Rule is another example of why the democrats don't win elections lol, psychiatrists should DEFINITELY be allowed to give their opinion, not necessarily a true diagnoses, but an opinion for sure.
