When conservatives say "get help" what they really mean is "be permanently removed from society by any means necessary" and I think that's beautiful
in most conservative dialects, "mental illness" is derived from the root meaning of "death sentence" but with a clearly more aspirational bent -- someone you /wish/ had a death sentence, in effect.

Conservatives also have a term unique to their language, "common sense," which refers specifically to a personal assumption that is not evidence-based, but is deeply-held to a disproportionate degree.

Meaning inversion is common in conservative dialects, e.g.:
