Summary

Five Republican Minnesota state senators plan to introduce a bill classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) as a mental illness, defining it as “acute paranoia” about Trump’s presidency.

The bill argues TDS causes hysteria, verbal hostility, and aggression toward Trump supporters.

Critics argue this represents a dangerous politicization of mental health diagnoses that could suppress political expression.

The bill will be read Monday before the Minnesota Senate Health and Human Services Committee, where Democrats hold a narrow majority.

    Most of us just don’t know what we can actually do and are being gaslit by everyone around us that it’s not as bad as the media is making it sound.

    So if you do something you are being irrational and the things you can do without being thrown in jail have no results currently (and are being done to no avail). If you don’t do something you know it’s going to get worse. And then the worse thing you know that’s coming requires really serious counter measures.

    Which if you act on timely you will be seen as over reactionary - and the problem. And then everything worse that comes after that will be seen as an appropriate response to the “radical violent and lunatic left”

    Most of us in my lefty group are just starting to stockpile food and water. Either it’s full market crash or worse. So. Have the essentials on hand and a method to protect them. Fingers crossed it won’t get to that. But. It probably will.

        Joey badass said it years ago - have to be careful now.

        “With all of the conflict of propaganda, I believe they are simply tryna slander
        Start a Civil War within the USA amongst black and white and those alike
        They are simply pushin’ us to our limit so that we can all get together and get with it
        They want us to rebel, so that it makes easier for them to kill us and put us in jails Alton Sterlings are happenin’ every day in this country and around the world
        The scary part, boys and girls
        Is most of these stories don’t make it to the news and reach mass consciousness It is for sure time that we as a people stand up for acknowledgement
        And accomplishment of what we call human rights
        [It is time to rebel, better yet, raise hell
        I just want everyone to be cautious about how they go about it
        Because this is all part of the government’s plan and what they been plottin’ They’re literally beggin’ for this to happen, so they can kill us off
        Usin’ uprisin’ and rebellion as the excuse in a timely fashion The cancerous foods, the chemical warfare, economic sufferin’ is not workin’ fast enough
        There are many steps ahead of us and manifestin’ the future that they want
        We have to work together, not only rattlin’ them on a physical plane
        But to outsmart them on an intellectual mental level the same

        Justice won’t be served by a hashtag, and that’s the very reason I ask that
        What are we to do? We’re scattered around
        With no clue of this ugly truth
        All we know is who they ridiculed and who gets minisculed
        Time to wake the fuck up and do our own research
        And not form opinions based on just what we’ve heard
        Ameri-K-K-K-a is force feedin’ you lies down your throats with a silver spoon
        And eventually, we’ll all be doomed
        Real, real, real soon

          You’re putting words in my mouth, I didn’t say anything about rebellion or anything like that.
