Before Reagan someone like him would probably have been institutionalized.
For those who don't get the Reagan reference, Ronald Reagan had the definition of mental illness changed to save on the expense of institutionalizing the mentally ill, and he emptied the mental institutions and put them all out onto the streets, causing a huge explosion in the homeless population. Then republicans made the claim that people choose to be homeless.
The only thing flip-flopping is this guys pea brain inside his empty skull! LOL
