What in tarnation? Is Trump Derangement Syndrome a real diagnosis now?
Yeah, I'm using it get out of work Friday. Long weekend baby!
No, just some terminally online Trump fans think it's real.

These all seem like real upright citizens in Minnesota, guys. /s
This is unhinged. I hope it doesn't pass.
It won't. Even if it did Walz would would veto it.
Every single elected Nazi will probably vote for it, but they don't have a majority and they are super upset about it.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome" means the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump. Symptoms may include Trump-induced general hysteria, which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology in President Donald J. Trump's behavior. This may be expressed by: new text end new text begin (1) verbal expressions of intense hostility toward President Donald J. Trump; and new text end new text begin (2) overt acts of aggression and violence against anyone supporting President Donald J. Trump or anything that symbolizes President Donald J. Tru"
Just in case you missed it
What’s intense hostility these days? “Eat the rich”?
A meme post that involves suggestion of a Trump micro penis?
There’s too much interpretation left in the wind with some of those phrases.
Lot of people here need to get informed and get a grip. Just because a bill is introduced doesn't mean it will be passed. The overwhelming majority of bills that are introduced don't pass. And this is in one state, not federal. And if the legislature passed it the governor may veto it, and it would certainly face legal challenge.
I get that everything sucks right now and it feels like we're getting attacked on every front. I get the administration is doing illegal stuff. We're in for a rough time. Still: don't give them power by acting like every idea they bring up is likely, or possible. This bill is just trolling, it's so some nobody state level legislators will have a bullet point in their newsletter and a social media post.
I saw on a conservative discussion group about making "TDS" (Trump Derangement Syndrom is what they're calling it) an actual entry into psychiatric work. I was wondering where this was coming from.
There it is.
U guys remember that scene in Schindler’s List where the little girl is screaming “Good bye you Jews!” To all the families as they are being marched off to a slave labor camp? Well this is how that sorta shit starts. Make the opposition the demon and get away with anything.
This is indeed how that sorta shit starts.
Worse, Americans also seem to have forgotten how to make that sort of shit end. Everyone agreed on what to do with Nazis 80 years ago.
You mean import the upper level Nazis into America ala Operation Paperclip?
Everyone certainly did not agree. A very sizable segment of US citizens were Nazi sympathizers before and after WWII. Remember what it took for the United States to get involved in the war effort in the first place.
I've contacted all those that I can. A director at NAMIMN did respond to my email stating that this bill won't be heard at all. Still fucked up of them to even try.
They got it backwards.
We educated America wrong, as a joke
These fucking unimaginative regressive vengeful idiots - they just ripped off ODS and CDS and tried to make it a thing during donvict's first term, and then, ironically had such a case of BDS under Biden [1].
Now the bootlicks want to enshrine "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (not a real thing) into law?
[1] ODS, CDS and BDS are and were actual things on the right, though. They kept claiming that these milquetoast center-right Democratic presidents were tyrannical, were going to take their guns, create death panels, bring about a Marxist regime, that qons were being "censored" (lol), and so on....that's some serious derangement.
Subd. 28. Trump Derangement Syndrome.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome" means the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump. Symptoms may include Trump-induced general hysteria, which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology in President Donald J. Trump's behavior.
Psychic pathology is a phrase that could go in several directions.
We live in a world where people worship a businessman/politician as the literal second coming of their messiah, but "Trump Derangement Syndrome" refers to people who are critical of a convicted felon who openly ran for office to kill further prosecutions against him
That will never pass in Minnesota. Who authored the bill?
republicans there are really pissed-off they couldn't do any damage when they had that manufactured one-seat house majority.
they're also trying to recall every single DFLer from the state house.
they used to be independent republicans. not anymore. they're all hooked on the maga ~~juice~~diaper leakage.
Agreed that it'll never pass in MN. The question is, how long until a copy of this is introduced in some red state where it could pass?
Edit: Hit save too soon
screams in Tennessee
Our legislative body here is dying to suckle at the hamberder teet. Hell they are trying to rename the Nashville international airport (BNA) to Trump international.
That orange mofo isn't even from Tennessee.
Like God damn.. can you bend over further?
This is the litmus test for our democracy. If it passes we are so unbelievably fucking cooked.
This is PROOF that Republicans LOVE Freedom and are NOT Snowflakes or Fascists!
