It’s not an individual thing, it’s across the board on the rightwing, and not just the US. Biden has stepped down, the people on the rightwing who were last week posting about his age, health and suitability for the Presidency are now in angst over him having stepped and endorsed VP Harris. The display of raw nerves, is astonishing.

Donald Trump "I know nothing about Project 2025"
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Nah, they just support all the stuff Trump and Vance say that is straight out of Project 2025. -
Some years ago I read an article on the subject of people taking part in silent retreats at a monastery on one of the Irish islands. The article included discussion on the matter of mental illness and the requirement the monastery had for would be lay participants to undergo a psychiatric assessment before being invited to join the retreat. As the monk explained, total silence and the sole company of one’s own thoughts can overwhelm people who might be predisposed to or already suffering health issues. While I think that is a couple of over simplified generalizations, I have no doubt there is a substantial grain of truth in it. At the very least people who take up meditation are self selecting, caution needs to be taken drawing conclusions on the outcome of them taking up meditation without knowing the context of the individual starting points.

In response to your earlier post I provided you a link to an article that references Kamala Harris’ own frequently expressed views on the matter. But as I say and as you demonstrate, your profound ignorance on the matter is impermeable to facts presented in linked articles that address the very subject.

Jonny, like very many Americans she’s of mixed race, she is proud of her mixed heritage: ”CLAIM: Harris is not Black. THE FACTS: This is false. Harris is Black and Indian. Her father, Donald Harris, is a Black man who was born in Jamaica. Shyamala Gopalan, her mother, was born in southern India. Harris has spoken publicly for many years, including in her 2019 autobiography, about how she identifies with the heritage of both her parents.” Forgive the linked article Jonny, while it corrects your customary ill informed nonsense, it also includes a few ‘trigger words’ that might set you off. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireStory/fact-focus-false-claims-kamala-harris-campaign-white-112178476
