Republicans want to classify ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ as a mental illness

Yes, hating Trump is deranged, but this was not:
Anyone ever see one of these with Trump?
Btw, I got this simply from searching “Biden truck decal”. I got no negative top results searching Trump instead of Biden. In fact, this is the best one I got from adding anti- in front of Trump in the search (with relevant double-standard caption included):
So tell me again, who is deranged?
So I just googled "anti-trump car decals" and was given a link to buy anti-maga stickers on Amazon, and when I went to images I got to see some decent ones. But then I saw an article with the same truck in your second picture, stating the driver added another sticker to the back windshield saying "FUCK LOCAL SHERIFF'S NAME AND FUCK YOU FOR VOTING FOR HIM"

Top tier boss bitch.
It was the wrong kind of free speech, you see.
Yes, Trump's derangement can be classified as a completely new form of mental illness
They forgot the apostrophe!
Last month, Elon Musk revived the term and told Fox News host Sean Hannity he used to be “adored by the left” until they were infected with TDS.
From what I remember, it had nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with you calling the experts who successfully rescued a bunch of children trapped in a cave, “pedo guy” along with all your other aggressive tactics to silence critics. Followed by the Twitter purchase.
Trump at the press dinner, Musk masturbating to submersible plans, Bezos getting cucked for half his fortune.
Limp white millionaires really do get deranged when they realise it doesn't buy them respect.
Thanks for reminding me that Mackenzie Scott did far more for the world with her half of his money than he can ever hope to achieve in 100 lifetimes.
Go look up how much this woman has donated to charity over the years. It's astronomical, compared to Jeff lol
Hey now, don't forget the allegations of sexual misconduct from employees.
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.
People keep posting that Sartre quote about anti-semites, but that’s the point.
It’s not about the actions, it’s about who is doing them.
I had forgotten about it. The quote is spot on.
If hating the guy who's threatening to take over my country is an illness, then bring it on, I've got it bad.
Less than a day later...
Well you know what they say, not ever republican is a pedophile, but every pedophile is a republican
Tomorrow there'll be a new bill to decriminalize pedophilia.
Wow.. and now you display the symptoms of TDS to everyone. Brave of you
Are you going to bat for a pedo?
The smug childishness of a grade school bully who got you in trouble after you lost your shit and finally punched back. These assclowns are infuriating.
one of the sponsors was arrested for soliciting a minor today
Gaggle Of Pedophiles
That was remarkably fast
Totally not a cult.
Everyone who isn't with us is against us, but yeah not a cult
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.
Funny thing is that's how I read it...
Confirmed. At first I was confused about the comments. Good idea, an obvious opportunity!
When I first heard of TDS I thought it was about his deranged stans and I thought that made sense.
Then I was told it was about all the people who lost their minds because of his election and defined themselves purely oppositionally to him, and I thought that made sense.
Then I observed that it's really just used as a slur against anyone who doesn't like him or his policies, and that makes sense too because that's the ultimate death of every social critique that ends up promulgated by conservatives.
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?
"you didn't see graphite on the roof because it isn't there. This man is ill take him to the infirmary"
Classic USSR/GOP tactic.
I seem to clearly remember a story from the Bible about this, but perhaps they've simply skipped that part during their reading?
Nah they know about it, let no conservative tell you their Christian. To be Christian is to aspire to be like Christ, very few self proclaimed Christiana can claim that
They only read the clobber verses about killing gay men, and the shitty bits of Paul (much of which wasn’t even written by Paul).
You can tell they don’t even read the Sodom and Gomorrah stuff, because they don’t know about Lot’s daughters getting their dad drunk to rape him, which is like immediately after.
So trumps followers have Trump derangement syndrome. Makes sense.
Phhhs you people are getting so worked up over adolf hitler. Stop worrying guys! he'll by gone by 1937
The best thing about someone using the term Trump derangement syndrome unironically is that I know I can just ignore them and nothing of value will be lost.
...I'm confused. He named a new mental illness after himself now?
Not him, but a bunch of other people on his political party.
It does feel a little like an attempt to legitimise it, so that criticisms are flipped off as mental illness, and/or an opportunity for institutionalising/excluding political opponents for much the same reason.
This is their attempt to get around that pesky 1st amendment. Make criticism of the king a "mental disorder", and then you can lock them up involuntarily "for their own protection".
A little?
This is directly attempting to make criticizing Trump result in active life fuck-uppery.
Ah, that makes sense. I wasn't sure if they were actually poking fun at him or his supporters. It just reads as a word salad to me.
It’s another “every accusation is a confession” - he’s accusing people who hate him of having this, but really it’s the ones who are obsessed with loving him that are deranged.
Michigan Republicans
probably worth noting that their Governor is Tim Walz, the VP candidate from the last election. One of the few Democratic Party members who is in the news constantly for criticism of the current President.
Not that this has a chance to pass because the DFL controls the State Senate and the Governors office, but I be its a political ploy so they can say then need to remove Walz because he is mentally unsound.
He is not deranged he is just a piece of shit Nazi like his father.
Shouldn't it be "Trump's Derangement Syndrome"?
When you let the nuts runs the show, sanity goes on trial
Maybe if your cult obsession with Trump is to the point where you propose bills like this you might be mentally ill for real.
My guess is he's trying to rename Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome because he has it.
When they're literally deranged by Taylor Swift and Barbie movies...
As a therapist, I won’t recognize it. Fuck that.
These are the same morons that have Biden Derangement Syndrome.
This will not pass in Minnesota. What a stupid bit of grandstanding and waste of taxpayer money.
…brought to you and sponsored by a pedophile.
Your 2025 GOP All Star lineup!
Unless real doctors accept this as a real illness, it's just politicians jerking off.
It allows them to send people who don’t like Trump to mental asylums
Psychology and psychiatry as professions unfortunately include people who believe that any deviation from what they personally consider “normal” is illness. There’s a very strong influence from shitstains like Dr Laura and Dr Phil on practitioners, and there are definitely some who’d like to punish political beliefs they disagree with.
I wonder if those who believe in TDS would also believe in Trudeau Derangement Syndrome where one feels compelled to put “F🍁CK TRUDEAU” flags on everything. Realistically these people probably know nothing about Canadian politics though
they're so far gone in the cult they belong in mental institutions
Canada and Mexico REALLY need to seal our borders...
The problems in both countries have always been the US
This will give the Government of Putin the excuse to throw the critics into the privately run detention centers.
Democrats should counter with a "Trump Sycophancy & Supplication Syndrome" Bill...
Changnesia is REAL!!!
What is this comment section...
Can you explain? I don’t have a problem with what I see?
You don't appear to have made a point
What?
my advice, ignore them. they'll go back to college in a few months
I wasn’t going to say anything, but since you’re so smug - spring break doesn’t last a couple of months. I’m not even a college kid and I know that.
edit: downvote all you want, doesn't make my point any less valid.
I don’t see your point. College kids do what? Respond against Trump? I would guess most of us here aren’t kids. Do you know where you are?
This is amazing to watch! To see all the liberals trying to figure out what TDS means to themselves. It's a blessing to see so many being illuminated.
They're starting to become aware of themselves!
Hey, turns out one of the Republican senators that helped draft this bill is a pedophile.
Hopefully you figure out what TDS means and who the people you associate with really are.
Obviously I already know about TDS since I said that. So, what did it mean for you? Did you learn anything about yourself?
How does the pedophile thing relate?
weak bait is weak
Bait only looks like bait to a fish
What do we call the child molesters wasting our tax money drafting bills like this? Oh right, maga supporters.
Trump Derangement Syndrome sounds like it's named after an ailment Trump suffers from, just like how Lou Gehrig's Disease is named after the disease that Lou Gehrig had.
Sounds like you probably have TDS
It seems very many folks on lemmy have TDS.
The obvious troll is obvious, easiest block
Agreed.
TDS is definitely a real thing, but allowing the government to detain people for it is insane.
You are smoking crack.
Disagreeing with someone destroying the economy, spending trillions of tax payer dollars, and making enemies of our allies is a mental disorder? But wasting time making bullshit bills like adding to my Rushmore when it's physically impossible is normal behavior. Got it
As a german: this is 1:1 the 3rd Reich playbook.
Stop it as long as you can!
It's too late. It's now on the rest of the world to prepare for the American Nazi regime
I can't believe you all are serious writing this stuff. America will move on after trump. America is going to be fine - as such as it is -. Likewise, everyone is going to be fine. Life in going to carry on.
I get the German doesn't understand, but come on, man. Ain't going to be no Trump dictator. So much bs fear is being pushed. Resist it.
We have no ability to effect any meaningful change at this point outside of high velocity lead poisoning.
I kinda want to leave for good.
You have. Go in the street in masses make sure that Republicans fear you.
Our german constitution allows for violence from civilians to protect the democratic order if any other means failed.
We have this for good reasons. To make sure we don't ever end up with a dictatorship again.
It will pe painful, it will be ugly, but if you wait to long this is the only way
