They going to have enough BS to get it into the DSM? Also anyone officially diagnosing anyone with this needs their license revoked

um, when was madness NOT defined by power? *looking through the history of mental illnesses*

That’s why when the tariffs came in and China released statement damning the US’s oligarchy and tainted democratic system I was like ‘yeah sure, but let’s not forget china is asshoe’

I'm a member of a Facebook group that is a no-holds-barred, trash-talking Utopia bereft of ANY moderation whatsoever and is populated by the most vocal of far-left AND far-right political junkies - they are LITERALLY under the impression that leftists and liberals are simply completely delusional haters of Trump who can't see the logical and wonderful things he is doing for our country - it's fucking insanity every day (but super fun!)
BurtMaklinFBI
I've resorted to calling them all "cultists" and their response has been, unsurprisingly, "YOU'RE the cultist!"

Yeah, I'd have to agree with that...

Ty that was quite a read

#2 Why can the legislature decide this? Shouldn't this be the jurisdiction of clinical psychology and psychiatry?
Thorbane
I'm going to assume the bill didn't actually go anywhere, because Minnesota has voted democratic since forever basically.
mercyPandaRunner
That's good to know, but this shouldn't have been within the authority of the legislature to draft and float.

Trump Derangement Syndrome sounds like the MAGAt condition. I'm guessing it isn't what they mean.
Probablyimaginary
HeywouldJablowme
It really is. It describes every single Trump supporter perfectly. But just like the term fake news, they flipped it on its head to mean anyone that doesn't go along with Trump's blatant and obvious obscene corruption and cruelty.
Z0op
Yeah first time i heard “oh they gave a name”… “oh, they mean trump critics? Wtf?”
bippityboppitybuttsex
How very Soviet of them... Also, the MN thing was a stunt that went nowhere.
newsguycraigevans
This time.
lrateyourrig
Ya most of the farmers might love trump nuts, but a decent chunk of other farmers and most of the city folk hate the piece of shit. And that was before he fucked with the crop prices.
bippityboppitybuttsex
Well, because they know that the damage Trump does to them will be offset by massive bailout money.

Odd then that Congress is trying forcing the NIH to study it. https://davidson.house.gov/2025/5/rep-warren-davidson-introduces-the-trump-derangement-syndrome-tds-research-act-of-2025
DontKnowTheSource
Unbiased researchers? Literally the only reason I can think of
req4adream99
I don’t know if you’re trolling (poorly) or just that naive…
Sooner70
Doesn't matter if it went anywhere or not. A stunt like that *should* end a politician's career. That it didn't speaks volumes.
Goatfer
while the bill didn't, soliciting a minor did.
bippityboppitybuttsex
He is a MAGA Republican, just being a MAGA Republican should end his career...
Goatfer
One note, one of the lawmakers who introduced this bill was arrested for soliciting a minor.

zombiejedediah
So far.
sowhat4
Old news, yawn. Being a perv is a prerequisite to belonging to MAGA.
crankyoldgeezer
But how do we get this in front of the cult members?
ryushi5
Go talk to one
crankyoldgeezer
I try all the time. I’ve been exploring what’s the best question to ask. As a Latino I’ve tried: what did you like about trump’s 1stvterm, do you not like immigrants? Is it just Latino & Asian immigrants that you hate but are you ok with Eastern European women? You bitch about nobody working but why do you want to get rid of those that work?
KoalaOnTheJuice
As soon as someone joins the cult we should consider them essentially lost forever. We can try to free them later once the movement is destroyed. But in the meantime the cultists are a minority of about 30% of the population, so just work around them.
crankyoldgeezer
Will do.
transhumanisticrecluse
they fully support classifying everyone who is miffed at trump as lunatic as if they all didnt belong in bethlem, london.
LoudBirb
We can't. Not in a way that would get them to believe it.
This isn't for the cult members. It's for everyone else. The fence-sitters, the a-politicals, the both-sidesers, the single-issue voters.
That group being galvanized is what got Biden his 81 million votes in 2020. 6 million of them didn't show up or changed their vote for 2024. They're the ones who need to see this shit. Them and the ones who voluntarily stayed home.
crankyoldgeezer
Good point
SilentHowling
That is the fault of the democrats putting up Biden instead of any youthful charismatic or loudly putting up bills that appealed to the masses instead of puttering uninspired confused messaging only propping up the status quo that is failing us.
LoudBirb
The alternative was literally "Dumber Hitler". Democratic messaging should've been irrelevant and it is a damning indictment of the American electorate that it wasn't.
crankyoldgeezer
I don’t blame them for being dull, I blame us for falling for a con man.
HeywouldJablowme
Can we stop falling for the "China is evil" propaganda and simply focus on ourselves and the evil empire of fascist imbeciles currently ruining every single facet of our lifes?
ourari
China is authoritarian and has a proven track record of oppression. Drawing parallels between an existing authoritarian state and a democracy in decline isn't the same as making China into a caricature of itself for propaganda purposes.
Hangonthere
You mean ... America first? (/s) But yeah, PLZ americans, fix your country!
alrightalrightalrightpartyatthemoontower
China has major issues for sure. But they are also moving towards a better system in many ways. Time to learn that there are good and bad in any systems. No country progresses without some fallout. China is doing some good sometimes badly.
HeywouldJablowme
Exactly. While we've been busy cutting funding for literally everything, China has been building. We've wasted so much time on culture war bullshit and conservatives obsession with cutting government, that we've stagnated while China has been building. The iron is that literally everything you buy from Amazon or Walmart or most American shops, comes from China. Why is that? Because American businesses have outsourced their production to Chinese factories to increase profits and circumvent unions

China is absolutely screwed, my guy. Their population is going to implode over the next 80 years, and it's uniquely going to be even more painful for them because of the lack of gender-balance by favouring males.
Josefbugman1543
80 years is a long time when you can automate stuff, and the gender imbalance has been improving and is going down at the moment, in part due to the party actually saying "hey, stop doing that!" to people.
ministerm
I'm gonna need to see an official source that the gender-balance is improving.
