Summary
Five Republican Minnesota state senators plan to introduce a bill classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) as a mental illness, defining it as “acute paranoia” about Trump’s presidency.
The bill argues TDS causes hysteria, verbal hostility, and aggression toward Trump supporters.
Critics argue this represents a dangerous politicization of mental health diagnoses that could suppress political expression.
The bill will be read Monday before the Minnesota Senate Health and Human Services Committee, where Democrats hold a narrow majority.
And this is exactly why those “red flag” laws are a bad idea.
For example, the state can determine anyone who hates Trump is not able to procure a firearm…
So that shit won’t be covered by insurance either, so here we are right back at square one, you illiterate fucks
So explaining reality to a Trump supporter is Trump Derangement Syndrome? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is the most dystopian shit I’ve read this week. Impressive, all things considered.
The real mental illness here is the “Trump following syndrome”, where people still support him despite what he does.
It’s a social construct. Much of the population wont understand due to lacking education and deficient knowledge base. Hopefully there will be further explanations for laymen in the future DSM5.
The senators who proposed this should be removed from office. This is beyond a farce.
And what Trump is doing it not? The only laws that still exist, is the ones that repress people they don’t like.
I’ve always thought Trump Derangement Syndrome better described MAGATurds. THEY are the ones who are absurdly and inexplicably in love with him, no matter how poorly he treats them.
Gaslighting 101: blame your victim(s)
Geez, all of this because Obama just had to wear that tan suit in 2014.
that bougie dijon mustard he used on his hotdog.
So Gender Dysphoria is bullshit, but TDS requires tax payer money thrown at it…
Shut up GOP you’re drunk
TDS was always a sham, a way to write off all concerns and protests of Trump. “Oh don’t listen to them, those who question Fearless Leader only do so because they’re insane. He is perfect and loves everybody”
the fucked up part is if there is a president after Trump it will take decades to fix the damage he did in 2 months.
we’re still suffering from Regan’s decisions
There will be a president after him. He cannot live forever, thank fuck.
Whether that president is actually democratically elected is yet to be seen.
Honestly if the US doesn’t have a democratically elected president in 4 years its not going to have a president ever, given the last 2 months I doubt there would be anything left to be president of if Trump manages to keep himself in powr for however long he has left to live.
I can’t tell if they’re joking or are dead serious anymore.
I have a mental illness – 2 of them actually, Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Possibly will get PTSD thrown in that mix soon too. Therapists and Psychiatrists use a little book called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-5 for short. Unless they can convince the APA to include TDS in the DSM-6 then it’s not a mental illness.
This is nothing but thought policing and a way to label someone with mental illness when they really don’t have one. It’s also causing all of the work that’s been done recently by NAMI, MHA, and AFSP to try to end the stigma surrounding mental illness to be set back to the era of mental institutions (something that their beloved Reagan did away with).
But what the hell, might as well add it to the DSM-6 and slap TDS on top of all my other mental illnesses 🤷🏻♂️
they’re both. they’re trolling us, and they’re deadly serious. it’s the “haha jk unless” approach to manifesting Overton window shifts with irony, aka meme magic.

…they freaked out because Obama ate spicy mustard…
that dijon mustard.
Yeah it wasn’t really about the mustard or the tan suit or the birth certificate.
