I appreciate the satire Ben. Yet, respect for mental illness rarely requires accepting the lies or forgiving the criminality. Moreover, he did not have actual grit nor the intellect to be a criminal overlord. He is cheap wannabe hood who merely fell into an era of supreme discontent. He was never a skilled businessman, even in an era of mega-corruption. He has nothing aside from full frontal fascism to offer us, and he only ran for office to enhance his fake band, and avoid the justice system. We should be stigmatizing this level of social pathology.

Meanwhile, his follower are not necessarily ill nor completely misguided. They are justifiable pissed about the status quo. They feel disrespected and are readily taken in by his fake rebellion and victimization antics.
