They're going to scapegoat people with mental illness and start taking their rights away more and more. Then they'll start using that to target people they don't like. Take certain prescriptions? Now you're on the "dangerous person's list" now "dangerous people" can't hold certain jobs or public office. Been put on a "mental health" hold by the police ever? Same thing. Then the police can just use their "discretion" to put anyone they don't like on a mental health hold. LGBT? That means you're "mentally unhealthy" don't believe in God? Believe it or not "mental health problems" not Republican? Only a psycho believes in dirty socialism. Brown skin? (Insert racist stuff about inferior brain power) Now, of course we can't allow the "mentally unhealthy people" to procreate! So we'll have to sterilize them. Of course they can't be trusted, so we'll need to supervise them at all times! Work is good for mental health so we can give them "jobs" at the "mental health" camps!
Going to? The US has been doing that since the day it gained its independence.
