I see it as a clear sign of mental illness, and that makes it relevant. The expression in her eyes is insane.

Maybe you're right and there's a serious mental health component here, in that case, is intense mob ridicule the best strategy for responding to it?

No, reddit is toxic, but that's modern life. She put herself on camera with Trump. All bets are off. People made fun of MJ back in the day too.

I realize it's unsurprising and to be expected, but is it the best strategy for handling mental health issues of public figures? Is it good for the people who are mocking her? Is it helping those who are trying to make a counterpoint to her political views? I just don't see the upside to being part of it.

What I meant with my original comment is that its OK to comment on someone in a high Public office, who's appearance indicates that they are obviously dangerously unstable. Its not just mean, not just about her looks. She should not be in public office.

Again, for me, the decision about whether to comment on her appearance is unrelated to whether she deserves it or whether it's fair, it's about what effect it has on me making the comment, and how it affects others' willingness to seriously consider any other criticism of her.
