What we are seeing is a symptom of a bigger issue. Yes autism spectrum folks feel strange and different and terrible. Living with that gives us a resistance to those who would attack us sometimes. In this case, the autism has been weaponized into supporting fascism. OP has been hoodwinked and taken advantage of for a social media spectacle.
However, no member of this community should feel justified in trusting anyone that would threaten the livelihood of the disabled. OP's ideas are not well thought out, but they are still reaching out for help. We are the ones that should be giving support for our fellow autist, not the MAGA.
This situation sucks. For all of us. For liberty and justice for all.
Im really looking forward to watching Trump go full bull in a China shop and fuck shit up so people like you have a meltdown of epic proportions. My ideas are not well thought out? Do you realize how much you sound like an entitled asshat? People like you are the exact reason Trump won. People like you are the exact reason people like me will work thier ass off to make sure you're level of crazy is never allowed substantial political power. You don't deserve it.
I love you. I hope you get everything you need.
Edit: I'm sorry. Take care.
Well seriously dude. One thing I've realized recently is even opinions i think are dumb are grounded in a different reality than mine. Two people can see the same events very differently just because of stuff they do not control at all. Someone that was raped as a child will view abortion differently than someone who was not. That dosen't mean one person or the other is bad. That just means life has treated those 2 people very different and saying that someone has nothing thought out what they believe just because you disagree is an utterly shit tier take.
Attitudes like this is why the left just got rocked in that election. Both centrists and the right look at the entitled asshole mentality many on the left currently have and are disgusted by it. Opinions you disagree with are not invalid or poorly thought out. They are just different options. That's it.
