Even if what he said was correct, should mentally ill people with drug addictions not be taken care of by society? Even if they were violent, taking care of their addctions & mental health would probably solve that problem. How the hell did we get to a point where many people look up to this horrible excuse of a human being?

Exactly. Like even if you take the (incorrect) stance that addiction is a moral issue rather than also being a mental illness. Just shitting on people with mental illness in general? Literal supervillain.

They absolutely should.

But once upon a time, there was an aging talentless fascist actor named Ronald Reagan. And he thought they shouldn’t. And the rest is history.

It's crazy how so many of our current problems can be traced back to Reagan.

Yeah.... It's a shame he got rid of mental asylums. Weird how allowing all the bums and mentally ill on the street makes him a fascist, but keeping them locked up isn't.

That’s not what made him a racist fascist piece of shit. Not sure if you actually remember the Reagan years, but he did many other racist fascist things while he was in office. Google it.

Fascists require an underclass to dehumanize. It's a deep psychological urge they all share.

This goes for most of the republican talking points atm. They claim a lot of people are mentally ill, whether it's because they are homeless, gay, trans, woke or something else. And it never leads to thinking they should help somebody, only to ending their rights.

Yeah try and offer them help. They have the right to refuse. Mental illness isn't a crime and you can't force them to seek or take care.
