Uhhhhhhhh! The Nazis did this. anyone who disagreed, caused trouble, or eventually was Luke-warm to National Socialism was seen as "sick", "degenerate", or " deranged". This was a classification that meant death for some, exile for others, and terror for anyone who witnessed your fate.
Basically. They're trying to associate dissent with mental illness just like they've been trying to associate LGBTQIA+ with obscenity.
Which means the mentally ill will be the next "then they came for" for republicans and the next "under the bus" for democrats.
Yes it's ableist and unforgiveable
It's a classic move by totalitarian states, Fascist Italy and the Soviet Union used the same tactic (North Korea continues to use it). And unfortunately it was pretty effective. No one really believed the people shut away were actually crazy, but they sure were scared of being disappeared to an "asylum", "psychiatric facility", or "reeducation camp".
I think this study should research people who are so obsessed with supporting trump that they lose touch with reality
By far, the more dangerous side of the coin
The last person to introduce TDS legislation got busted soliciting a minor for sex. Let’s see what she gets

I’ve run out of ways to explain my absolute embarrassment for the state of this country.
Same. I don’t understand how this is even happening. It feels like a parallel earth.
Root cause = DJT is a horrible fascist. Solution = A bullet.
Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the people that tried to assassinate trump people with right wing affiliations?
They've had their epiphanies. Still 77million of those idiots to go.
And the second guy was a total nut job. The scope was literally taped to the rifle.
Much like Florida's campaign to make trans identity into a mental illness, this is a long con to give prosecutorial power against people at a later date when they decide the mentally ill are, "useless eaters" as the Nazis called them. It may seem extreme, but RFK has already signaled a disdain for neurodivergent people that's blatantly ableist and borderline eugenicist.
If someone is a hateful prick and you greatly dislike them for their words and actions then it is a natural reaction, not a "syndrome".
It’s like being in a highly dysfunctional family. They do crazy shit then blame you for your natural response and tell you that you’re the problem.
They've been setting us up for years. "Liberalism is mental illness." Stalin also sent many dissenters to die in mental hospitals.
I unironically support this insofar as actual academics conduct the study. It would be hilarious to watch the GOP in Congress try to suppress the report and then it gets leaked after it concludes correctly that TDS is just a made up term and there's nothing deranged about disliking the inhumane, greedy, sociopathic machinations of the most powerful man on earth whose demented whims crash markets and violate human rights. Paying money to find out why people dislike a legitimately evil person when people will just straight up tell you but you don't want to listen is too funny.
probably woulndt be legitimate scientist conducting said studies anyways.
Some DOGE tech bro plant
probably a quack doctor.
Just another arrow in the traitorous regime's quiver when imprisoning/trafficking/killing anyone that doesn't prostrate themselves before Orange Jesus.
Soon your racist shitbag MAGAt family members will be able to call a hotline after Thanksgiving dinner accusing you of TDS and you'll get a nice visit from the police, then never to be seen again.
The GOP can fuck off and die.
Couldn't possibly be that he's a piece of shit. I have evidence.
Trump taking about Taylor Swift, congeess passing ridiculous bills, they are trying to distract that SCOTUS ruled that trump can't use Aliens Enemies Act to deport people.
Cannot shake the feeling that this is an onion article, despite believing 100% that it's real.
Yeah, this totally won't be abused to lock up opposition. I mean research into why the most divisive asshole in recent history cuases division is obviously a sham, especially from the group that thinks research is having a conclusion and then finding evidence to support your conclusion.
Fuck these bastards
Those last three words times five.
And somehow republicans don't see how this is problematic?
You're deranged if you can mentally bury the rotten corruption in full display.
The only derangement is among the MAGAts in politics all trying to shove their faces betwixt Trumps flabby cheeks at the same time.
The simple minded projection from these conservatives...
Don't worry guys the name describes the lawmakers /s
Where's the bootlicker bill?
There's a very easy cure.
