Yeah, using a mental illness as a synonym fora bad person is not ableist at all.
"Won't someone think of the people that are destroying our society?"
Not all mental illnesses are high-functioning autism-style quirkiness, things that need help, many of which makes people more of victims of violence than the perpetrators of them. Sure, you can say that e.g. the Cybertruck bomber was abused by the MAGA cult, but that won't change the facts. All this does is downplay the abuse these people can do if they're at the wrong place.
We can call out the abuses of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, without taking away their mental health card. They were very close to two pedophile rings, and pedophilia is among the few paraphilias that psychology tries its best to correct due to the harm these people can cause to real children. They're also narcissists, and likely also psychopaths.
Tgis is what gets called out, and not equating disabilities with illness?
You treat an illness. It's something you try to eliminate. A disability isn't something that has a cure, and often needs accomodations rather than treatment.
