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.

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”
Geez, all of this because Obama just had to wear that tan suit in 2014.
that bougie dijon mustard he used on his hotdog.
This just in: 99% of the world’s population suffers from Trump derangement syndrome.
The other 1% has actual certifiable psychological issues.
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.
This is the most dystopian shit I’ve read this week. Impressive, all things considered.
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.
…they freaked out because Obama ate spicy mustard…
Yeah it wasn’t really about the mustard or the tan suit or the birth certificate.
ODS baybee
that dijon mustard.
Being a Trump supporter is a mental illness
That’s an insult to mental illness.
The senators who proposed this should be removed from office. This is beyond a farce.
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.

So Gender Dysphoria is bullshit, but TDS requires tax payer money thrown at it…
Shut up GOP you’re drunk
In first reading the title I was wondering if the bill was talking about people blindly following Trump.

Not just locked away, they want to torture them in mental institutions and fry their brains with psychiatric meds. Just like in Morther Russia.
Don’t assume this is a joke.
They are constantly probing, and will keep trying to expand their power until they are stopped.
They haven’t seen deranged yet. And thats a lot knowing their own actions. Wait until their wrecking ball of an economic plan makes food impossible to buy. Then you’ll see deranged.
Derangement was attacking the Capitol on Jan 6th. This is an excuse to jail anyone who dares disagree.
The thing is that doesnt matter. These actions will destroy our country before he is out of office. You’ll be seeing starving children in the streets and much worse.
…before he is out of office.
That’s just a truism for anything, no matter how long it takes, since he doesn’t intend to leave. Better to say “before the end of his term” or “within a few years” if your estimate is specifically that soon.
Never, ever forgive magats for bringing this to our country. Don’t let them squirm out of it or try to play dumb, this is exactly what they wanted. Trump is the symptom and they are the disease
As an outsider from Canada … I also blame all those idiot Americans who just stand on the sidelines and watch the country burn down and hope that by doing nothing, no one will ever do anything to them.
Most of us just don’t know what we can actually do and are being gaslit by everyone around us that it’s not as bad as the media is making it sound.
So if you do something you are being irrational and the things you can do without being thrown in jail have no results currently (and are being done to no avail). If you don’t do something you know it’s going to get worse. And then the worse thing you know that’s coming requires really serious counter measures.
Which if you act on timely you will be seen as over reactionary - and the problem. And then everything worse that comes after that will be seen as an appropriate response to the “radical violent and lunatic left”
Most of us in my lefty group are just starting to stockpile food and water. Either it’s full market crash or worse. So. Have the essentials on hand and a method to protect them. Fingers crossed it won’t get to that. But. It probably will.
Mighty convenient if you’re not on the list of targeted groups
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been having suicidal thoughts about society. I hope you find a way to recover soon.

And you used an argument earlier that is commonly used by neo-nazis to try to justify that the mass murder of Soviet POWs was… the USSR’s fault. But no, I am a troll for trying to refute such nonsense.
Yeah, the non voters also make me quite pissed off as well. I basically hate everyone in this country other than Harris voters. Sorry our country is full of garbage and treating your great country this way, I’ve cussed anyone out hard that I’ve heard supporting it if it’s any consolation
“Hurr durr, I’m not political so I don’t really pay attention”
Well your existence is about to become political, so maybe it’s time.
The end game is that every one of the MAGAts will have to go through a period of removal from society and reintegration only when they’ve been deprogrammed.
I’m halfway down for a vanguard on their asses cos that’d be less work
Is this some kind of stunt? Like they know it’s not going anywhere but they can read their witty bill into the record for giggles. What an embarrassment. Who votes for these toddlers?
