5. I'd actually like to stop labeling it "the GOP" or "the Republicans"..
No, I'm not suggesting phony bipartisanship.

I'm suggesting naming them as individuals, and insisting that political affiliation or ideology does not justify irresponsible behavior. Some of them clearly need, not just medication, but guardians - they need to lose the right to function as independent citizens, like anyone else who mindlessly destroys things they don't understand, irrespective of who they belong to.

I don't care if they're on Thorazine or in jail, but they clearly need to be forcibly put somewhere they can't hurt things.
