May I suggest "crazy person"?

That's still insensitive.

I suggest "DRA," for Differently Rationally Abled.

Interesting. The scene from “Back to the Future” popped into my my mind where Marty McFly is holding the picture of his brother and sister and they are starting to fade out. So, will removing “lunatic” be like changing the future in the movie resulting in eliminating/fading themselves out from reality? Seeing how most of them probably qualify as lunatics of sorts...

They want to get rid of the word "lunatics"?

That's crazy talk!

“Terrorists and lunatics no longer exist...”

Only if disaster were to strike the Capitol Building during a Joint Session might that become possible.
