But I think, like Mark Twain, the reports of the Heffalump's death are somewhat exaggerated.
With the right sort of straight-jacket they could be stopped from harming themselves unto death: but they do need to treat the insanity and the stupidity.
It's tragic to me that people are making assumptions about what end of life care is. End of life care is counseling for those who are dying. Studies were done that those who get counseling actually live a little longer and better lives in the last few months than those who don't receive it. Also, most private insurance companies include it in their policies too, so another shitty misdirection by the republicans.
Less than ten years ago you could have switched the characters and the cartoon would have been just as effective. Partisans are always predicting the "death" of the other party, but given enough time or a big enough issue and they'll come back.
