The problem is, Democrats define Conservatism as a mental illness. Those who depart from belief in the Biden regime’s talking points are defined as ‘conspiracy theorists’ who are mentally ill. Lately there have been some calls on the left to finally make it official and ‘forcefully’ ‘deprogram’ Republicans. So Newsom is pointing to ‘gravely ill’ people while in fact targeting those, for example, declined to ‘vaccinated’ even after being told millions will die if we don’t.
Obviously, Gavvy is is pre-presidential-run mode, so he pivots to a rare common-sense measure. Ultimately, though, something like this is truly needed. The streets of S.F. and L.A. are filled to drug-crazed lunatics... and that’s not even counting the homeless. But seriously, it’s just common sense to recoganize that there are lot of people out there on the CA streets who absolutely do need to in some kind asylum and/or live-in drug rehab program.
Conservatorship law, huh? Those are already greatly abused. I can’t wait to see how this turns out.
Coercion, disguised as cure.
State conservatorship. This will be used against people of means with whom the state ideologically disagrees.
“force”?
I don’t like that word when connected to this govt.
Medical types and union thugs are natural Nazis.
The reason there’s been such a large homeless problem over the past 40 years is because keeping loons committed was made illegal.
Institutions were emptied nation wide over the course of some years and surprise, surprise, homeless all over.
How ‘bout Canada, where they can get their anti-psychotic medication for free.
Mentally ill and addicted,as to where to put them, they’re already mainly on the west coast. Shipp the east coast liberal scum there, wall it off and hope for the big one.
Sounds like a good idea.
But what will happen is the Democrats will use this to put political opponents in looney bins.
Any government will be abused by them.
Sixty years after JFK set out to federalize mental hospitals and put the mentally ill into our neighborhoods, California is taking a step away from him.
Does the law include people who think they are different gender? Asking for a friend.
Hmmmm. Sounds strangely close to forced institutionalism. Could a return to mental hospitals be next? Seems we have already flown over the cookoos nest.
