It’s not mental illness. Stop pairing mental illness with these right wing loons. She’s just wacky af. Saying she’s mentally ill is classing mentally ill peope in this lower class group and not offering any support to those who need it.
She’s just a crazy woamn

Mentally illness is a spectrum, and although wacky af isn't a recognized diagnosis (yet) she can still have a mental illness. It doesn't mean all mentally ill people are insane like she is though! Paranoid delusions are definitely a sign of unchecked mental illness and I wish she could accept the help she needs

Unfortunately I'm not an expert, just someone dealing with their own mental illnesses and entering EMS/medical fields so I have only basic knowledge

It can be both. In my experience, people with MI are more gentle than average even if they have a hard time connecting with others. But there are some bad apples too and that's what I'd focus on here.
Like, she's choosing to say violent and hurtful things. It doesn't help that delusions make it easier for her to believe she's right, but they're certainly don't help.
