    This will not pass in Minnesota. What a stupid bit of grandstanding and waste of taxpayer money.

    Guys, just steal this and use it to describe deranged Trump idiots. The right wing steals useful words like “fake news” and “groomer” and alters their meanings for political purposes all of the time. This one should be a layup because without reading into it everyone already thinks it’s the condition those everyday July 4th cosplay, big truck with tattered flags morons have.

      Confirmed. At first I was confused about the comments. Good idea, an obvious opportunity!

    This will give the Government of Putin the excuse to throw the critics into the privately run detention centers.

    I love how far I had to read before it was clear that it’s not what Trump has; it’s what people who disagree with him apparently have.

    Diseases are often named after their victims…

    Also, and this is buried in everything he is doing, but how arrogant do you have to be to assume that every person disagrees with him just because he’s Donald Trump, and not because there are valid concerns?

      I agree. It should be “Trump’s Derangement Syndrome” law, either as impeachment or as A25 issue.

    Unless real doctors accept this as a real illness, it’s just politicians jerking off.

      This is potentially a legal rather than a medical diagnosis, and if the legal system is sufficiently corrupted, it doesn’t matter what doctors think.

      Also, in previous instances (Bush-era torture, for example), the medical and psychological professions just went along. Nover underestimate the venality and spinelessness of professional organizations.

    Conservatives are wild. I don’t know if they intentionally do it but their behavior is absurd. Obsessed with Obama’s birth certificate, LeTs Go BrAnDoN, and even super whacky shit like QAnon and trying to prove Michelle Obama is a man. They hate “mainstream media” yet Fox News is one of the biggest networks. They’re all about merit yet discount anything AOC says, who’s smart and studied, because she bartended. And now they want to turn the tables, claim they are and have always been normal, and it’s people who disapprove of Trump who are deranged. It makes no sense.

      All of that? That’s the point. That’s exactly how they want us to feel: confused, hurt, isolated. They will gladly say something incredibly hypocritical and then just smile a shit-eating grin when you call them out, because we both know there’s nothing that can be done short of violence and that’s when they’ve “won.”

      But in all honesty, violence actually is an answer, and a proper one to bullshit like this. I don’t give a fuck if you could call it assault if someone is literally taunting and threatening me when I haul off and beat their ass.

      Do it. Make them scared of violent revolution and reprisals.
