Donald Trump wanted to open up the economy because he thought suicides would become a bigger problem than coronavirus deaths. That is incredible mental health awareness! Let us take this as a mandate from the president, to begin a conversation on mental health!

His supporters are very mental health-minded, too. Usually, people deny mental health issues exist, but they have been at the forefront of concerns about derangement! So let us begin a conversation for them: starting with what derangement looks like and how to detect it.

(I don’t think people got that I am trying to use their words to hold them to a discussion: we can even use the president’s concerns about Joe Biden!

(Me: How great that you think mental health in a president is important! How would you suggest that we address that question?)

(And his supporters, surely if they are concerned about nonexistent TDS, we can lead them to worry about real disorders?

(Me: How wonderful you think it is good to be free of derangement! If a bunch of people have it, it is serious, isn’t it? What do you think we could do?)

(You start with where they are, and you gradually lead them to tell you THEMSELVES what should be done in such situations. The whole time, of course, they believe you are speaking of others. Then you make it impossible to wiggle their way out of it when you turn the tables.)
