and what are we to do with our large population of MAGA lunatics?

[magicguido]

Lots of beds available in local State Mental Hospitals

1. Its looking like the problem will solve itself as they deny vaccine

sad that they really have no common sense.

2. hopefully natural selection will rid us of most of them esp if they cont to make poor choices

3. Biden will lead, and a LOT of MAGATS will follow. Why?

Because Biden will become the authority in DC. Trump will be a fading authoritarian star, especially when he's beset with indictments and prosecutions. Those are the BEST deterrents to a lingering MAGAT presence. Even Trump knows that losers don't win. And when he's defending his civilian existence day after day in Court, he'll lose his luster and a good portion of his base will get bored. Others will switch their authoritarian biases to the new "authority." Biden won't claim any kind of authoritarian crown; he'll merely act as a normal president. That's all it will take.

4. actually no. thats another thing the gop destroyed.

mental health care. Jimmy Carter got the mental health system act passed in 1980. Reagan and the gop congress got rid of it in 1981 and we have been sorely lacking since.
There is a dire need of mental health care facilities and its not being met. A staggering amount of people with mental health problems end up in regular prisons provided they dont get shot first by police.

5. Cut off their supply of meth

I suspect amphetamine abuse is behind at least some of their violent and paranoid politics.

7. That and the testosterone suppliments sold OTC at wallywerld.

6. Off-world them to mine the moon

They can form their white supremacist bullshit government on the moon and use the weaker among them as the slaves they seem to so desperately want. Their colony can be on the far side, so we don’t have to look at them.

8. They'll be back, stronger than ever. What we can do is be prepared.

This election is not a defeat to them. Merely a set back.

We beat them this time, because we all rallied together to stop a tyrant.

We need to keep up the enthusiasm, keep our people politically aware and active.

Next time, the person they put in charge won't be as incompetent.

[groundloop]

10. Especially since our electoral system (and gerrymandering of districts) is tilted in their direction

[Evolve Dammit]

12. Agree. Vigilance!

[LiberalArkie]

9. Ship them back to where they came from.

[milestogo]

11. Let them get COVID and face health complications or death.

13. no there aren't beds at state mental hospitals

Prisons are the institutions that deal with the seriously mental ill today. And this continual stigmatization of mental illness is disturbing. 26% of Americans have a diagnosable mental health disorder. That means that about 26% of the people on this site probably do as well. They are neurological disorders, not simply people angry about politics.
