I've heard absurd things from shows like the View that make me think overall, our empathy has slipped massively. I don't see that as a political problem. It's clearly societal. We shouldn't be talking about the mentally ill so callously. It is my wheelhouse, so I know that we're not even doing nearly enough and there's plenty of room to do better. Our jail system shouldn't be the place they're most likely to get help. Americans are very touchy about things like trusting authority and having personal rights stripped (which is a requirement for involuntary commitment), so are reluctant to agree to civil changes like reopening asylums.
