GOP Minnesota Senators introduce bill that defines ‘Trump derangement syndrome’ as mental illness (www.startribune.com)

Five Minnesota Senate Republicans are seeking to dub “Trump derangement syndrome” (TDS), a term coined to describe a form of criticism of President Donald Trump, as an official mental illness recognized under state statute.

Eric Lucero, R-St. Michael, Steve Drazkowski, R-Mazeppa, Nathan Wesenberg, R-Little Falls, Justin D. Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, and Glenn H. Gruenhagen, R-Glencoe, are the five politicians who drafted the bill that would add the so-called “syndrome” to a lengthy list of definitions related to mental health care in Minnesota.

If passed, a section of a statute that includes definitions for terms including “diagnostic assessment” and “outpatient services” would be appended to add one for TDS. The authors describe TDS as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons” in reaction to Trump’s policies.

If something like this passed, wonder how easy it would be for the authorities to confiscate someone's weapons and/or forcibly relocate them to a 'mental asylum' for 'treatment' to cure their 'TDS.' Big 1984 vibes in this bill.

Fine, as long as MAGA is officially considered a brainwashing terrorist cult.
