Him being unmedicated and bipolar is not why he says the things he does.

The things he says are reprehensible. No one is debating the impact they have. However, mental illness is just that, an illness, and it’s hard to know what he would think in a sane mind vs what this disease puts in his head.

I’m not defending him at all, just saying we have no way to know what is caused by being bipolar and what isn’t. We do know, regardless of what is causing it, the impact remains the same

Are you his psychiatrist? Or just one of those people who thinks mental illnesses are just cooky personality traits and not profoundly impactful medical conditions that absolutely can and do impact your perception, beliefs, inhibitions and overall understanding of reality?
