    As a person with ADHD, let me just volunteer the following information; the absolute last thing you want… the last thing you want is for a bunch of people with ADHD to be held on a boring farm. Without medication!

    The phrase “herding cats” doesn’t even come close. And ADHD is often comorbid with sleep phase disorder, which means I’m 100% alert all night without the medication that helps me sleep! That gives me lots and lots of time to be a problem!

      I get the anger, but this idea wouldn’t be out of place in European countries like Netherlands and Portugal. Drug rehabilitation is a positive, left wing policy.

    He’s in the closet about his own mental health issues, one of which is likely him being ADHD AF.

    So like the closeted gay politicians being the harshest proponents of things like conversion therapies, anti-lgbtq views and legislation, the closeted mental-health-problem asshole is anti-actual-medical-treatment of everything, like anti-vax, anti-adderall, etc.

    The term “concentration camps” usually doesn’t refer to places people volunteer to go to. The headline’s clickbait enough as it is.

        Yeah “choose to go” is a euphemism for “parents can decide to send their children against their will”

        So what you’re saying is that the reality isn’t bad enough so we need to make shit up and exaggerate everything? Because I disagree with that. I think things are bad enough that you can just be truthful about it, and lying is actually counterproductive because it discredits legitimate criticism.

        Like if you want to talk about concentration camps, we’ve already got them for undocumented migrants.

    “I’m going to make it so people can go, if you’re convicted of a drug offense, or if you have a drug problem, you can go to one of these places for free.”

    Honestly if people can find happiness by getting away from modern society and living a bucolic lifestyle, I’m all for it.
