Five Minnesota Senate Republicans are seeking to dub “Trump derangement syndrome” (TDS), a term coined to describe a form of criticism of President Donald Trump, as an official mental illness recognized under state statute.
Eric Lucero, R-St. Michael, Steve Drazkowski, R-Mazeppa, Nathan Wesenberg, R-Little Falls, Justin D. Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, and Glenn H. Gruenhagen, R-Glencoe, are the five politicians who drafted the bill that would add the so-called “syndrome” to a lengthy list of definitions related to mental health care in Minnesota.
If passed, a section of a statute that includes definitions for terms including “diagnostic assessment” and “outpatient services” would be appended to add one for TDS. The authors describe TDS as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons” in reaction to Trump’s policies.
If something like this passed, wonder how easy it would be for the authorities to confiscate someone’s weapons and/or forcibly relocate them to a ‘mental asylum’ for ‘treatment’ to cure their ‘TDS.’ Big 1984 vibes in this bill.
Remember when Republicans at least pretended to be the party of free speech?
I really don’t think they ever were a “Free Speech” party.
McCarthy went after Hollywood movies that didn’t even use the word “Socialist.”
Givng birth control information was “pornography.”
As long as we classify “TDS” as people who wallpaper their whole house in Trump election signs
always projection

They got it the wrong way round. The deranged person is Trump, not the one who criticises him.
It should be “Trump’s derangement syndrome”, and a case to invoke A25.
Horrifying. This will be used to detain and disarm political opposition.
Bingo. Disarm, detain, distrain.
I’ve been having a recent craving to rewatch Conspiracy (2001) in light of the past year.
They are never beating the cultist allegations. So many weak ass men idolize this man.
So if I don’t like a felon rapist traitor I have a mental illness?
Call me cRaZy, but I think conservatives are the ones with a mental illness if this is how they think (or don’t think).
Edit: Lol. Less than an hour after posting this comment the fuckhead co-author of this bill was arrested for trying to fuck a minor. Conservatives LOVE electing sexual predators.
Fine, as long as MAGA is officially considered a brainwashing terrorist cult.
Can I use this to get out of work with pay? Pretty sure symptoms will clear up in 4 years?
I wouldn’t try that.
Recycling this quote and article again:
Be judicious about the degree of productive capacity you can exhibit…
Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide.
Holy fucking shit. The fuck does he consider inhumane!
sure… so long as he can’t use it to get a lighter sentence in court.
