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.
One of bill’s sponsors, Justin Eichorn, just got arrested on suspicion of soliciting a minor.
Man, this seems really common with these people. We should coin a term for whatever sort of illness this is…
Oh, right, it’s called pedophilia.
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).
They are never beating the cultist allegations. So many weak ass men idolize this man.
It’s a code red snowflake alert
It’s a foundation for imprisoning political opponents.
That too
ok
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!
All those who oppose us must have a mental illness because we’re so nice, who would want to oppose us?
These people are just comically evil, like a Disney queen type evil
Being genuinely nice equates to being weak in their perspective. Being nice is only relevant when it’s a tool for getting something in return.
They got it the wrong way round. The deranged person is Trump, not the one who criticises him.
Does this mean if I am upset about Trump I can claim disability?
Be judicious about the degree of productive capacity you can exhibit…
The rest of the article is just as insane. Yarvin clarifies that no one wants poor people powered infrastructure because its yucky I guess. But that they need a humane alternative to genocide. So his proposed solution is basically forcing poor people to live in the Matrix. Permanent Solitary Confinement in a virtual world.
It’s so weird to realize some people saw the scene where Neo woke up and thought “Heeeeeeyyyy, now that’s a pretty nice way to do things. Someone (preferably me) should do that!” instead of a natural sense of revulsion.
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.
Trump is deranged, and it’s contagious…
fReE sPeEcH
I can’t bear to read the article. I want to believe this is a joke or clickbait
sure… so long as he can’t use it to get a lighter sentence in court.
Fucking cultists.
