GOP bill labeling Trump opposition a ‘derangement syndrome’ causes Minnesota Capitol stir
A Republican bill seeking to define criticism of President Donald Trump as a mental illness has stirred up conflict at Minnesota's Capitol.
Five Republican senators introduced
a bill Monday that would designate “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness.
It describes the “syndrome” as Trump-induced general hysteria and “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump.”
Democrats quickly criticized the bill as a waste of time and asked that it be withdrawn. Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy said its mere introduction trivializes serious mental health issues.

They need to amend to include MDS. “Musk Derangement Syndrome” while they are visiting LA-LA land.
I don't think it's a real mental illness.. I think it’s a family trait that's passed down from generations of cousin-lovin..
I don't think this is necessary and trivializes actual mental disorders.
It's pretty clear from most interactions here that if TDS not itself a mental disorder it is certainly an earmark of one.

It's a subset of the overall political derangement that began at the exact moment we all got social media on our phones.
It's in both the speakers and the listeners. Rational discourse sounds irrational to polarized people. People forget how to say "that makes sense, but I don't agree."

The issue is that the left rarely makes sense.

You're deranged, that's why. Both the left and the right usually have an internal logic or a comprehensible self interest behind what they say. If you think that's not true, you're deranged regarding politics.
Doctors reveal symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome and how to tell if you've got it
Does the Village People’s YMCA makes your blood boil and your jaw tighten until it aches?
Or do you find yourself struggling to get behind policies, even if they agree with your worldview, because they were influenced by Donald Trump?
You might just be grappling with ‘Trump derangement syndrome.’

Well, all I can say is stranger things have happened before.

There’s that dodge again. You will criticize the left only if you can lump the right in with it. You will solely criticize the right, but you will never criticize the left on its own.

I definitely criticize the left on their own.
The left has sole blame for their own cowardice that prevents them from having real presidential primaries. They take sole blame for the rising rates of homelessness because they always stand on the side of building less homes and requiring more paperwork to build them. They only ever see two solutions to a problem, either hand out money to the people affected, or make a regulation that will ban the thing. It never occurs to them that they can solve problems by loosening regulations and it never occurs to them that they might just be throwing good money after bad.
Anyhow I shouldn't have to say all that. You should respond to my posts, instead you respond to me. Was the post wrong?
