In this clip she tells of the last time she ever saw her father, and credits her survival to the intuitive last words he spoke to her. by asday515

Being bipolar doesn't turn you into a Nazi though. He is going through a mental health crisis, but also he's a bigoted asshole.

Being bipolar absolutely can turn you into a Nazi. It's stated pretty well here, separated from bipolar disorder:

Yeah, of course. I'm not saying Kanye isn't racist, just that it is pointless to acknowledge some parts of Kanye's mania as mental disorder, but not other parts. As I quoted, "anyone who scapegoats a whole group of people and seeks to eliminate them ... meets criteria for a delusional disorder".
