    It’s not ableist to point out the verifiable facts as we know them. It’s also not ableist to discuss real world adverse effects from medical conditions. There was a marked change in many of his stances after the stroke.

    Money in politics is a massive issue, and the root of a lot of our current problems… that doesn’t mean we ignore history or we simply ignore possible reasons why a politician’s stances change.

    I’m sure if you had a stroke and suddenly turned into a bigger asshole you’d want the benefit of the doubt for your opinions until that stroke instead of being lumped into always having been a giant douche.
