I like the part about no new spending is needed. Should we translate that to we will divert people looking into measles and covid to this?
A bill like this was proposed in the Minnesota state house, shortly before one of the co-sponsors was arrested for soliciting sex from a minor.
You have a mental diseuse, you can´t own a firearm.
Only MAGA have the right to article 2.
Job done.
And RFK wants to send you to a
gulag“wellness farm” for it.
That’s why it’s important to join the 50501 movement and have mass protests.
The biggest problem with these MAGA Nazis is that they fully believe their own nonsensical propaganda. They actually see Trump haters as mentally disabled, not angry patriotic Americans, so it doesn’t occur to them that putting mentally healthy and angry people together is only creating a small motivated army that will kill their captors, take their weapons, and go house to house in the local community, killing everyone with MAGA stuff.
Most of them do not see opposition as mentally disabled, they see it as an internal enemy. And in dealing with it, punitive psychiatry is a times tested method.
Based. That’s the attitude I want to hear. Remember that the ultimate enemy are the oligarch class so next they would need to be obliterated followed by a permanent revolution against fascism worldwide.
Only change is that I would take unarmed low-level Magatards as prisoners rather than kill them.
The administration is preparing to put them all in a “mental health camp”.
Funny, that. Stalin’s regime said the same thing. A lot of dissenters were labeled “mentally ill,” and tortured in mental hospitals.
“It Can’t Happen In America?” Wake the fuck up…it is happening.
a lot of my professors in psychiatry can’t explicitly let their political leanings be known, but they have STRONGLY hinted that they are pissed off by the weaponization of mental health for political ends.
Actively speaking out and disagreeing with your institution’s official view point of “silence/neutrality” is pretty much grounds for termination, Tenure or no Tenure.
So America lost the cold war against communism?
You guys were fighting?
It’s still early days, most likely many years later it will be both worse and better than is feared by me
We only had 72 years to adapt. Let us cook
Hungarian here, we had our own version predating Trump derangement syndrome called Orbánfóbia (Orbánophoby), but so far no one wanted to treat people for it.
Not just a mental disorder, which is bad enough by its self, but some conservatives are pushing for it to be grounds for involuntary committal.
THAT’S FASCISM
…among many policies already in effect…
If hating what Trump does and represents is a mental disorder, then I am terminal and highly-contagious.
This is a foot in the door for using the mechanisms of criminal psychiatry to brutalize opposition, not a joke.
Kennedy has been talking about putting the “mentally ill” in farming concentration camps since he floated challenging Biden. This is Step 1 to criminalizing political opposition.
Step 1?
I feel like we’re already on step 32.
Step 32 of Fascism. This is the part where they make sure there will be no elections.
There will always be elections. They might just be Venezuela style.
It also silences their voices and discredits anything they say so opposition don’t gain more support as the GOP dismantle our democracy in front of our eyes.
Relationships will become more strained.
Unfortunately much of this country has developed a vaccine for this apparently.
If only you were highly contagious
I don’t hate him, I don’t know him.
I hate what he does. I hate what he says. I hate who he associates with. I hate his voice. I hate his face. I hate everything about him.
I will celebrate with so much champagne when he dies.
Trump has the most fragile ego ever
Luckily, the research on that is already done:
TL;DR:
The bill, backed by two GOP reps (Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio and Rep. Barry Moore of Alabama) proposes NIH investigation into “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) and aims to study TDS’s origins, media influence, and interventions.
The article compares it to Soviet-era tactics of labeling political dissent as a mental disorder.
Ooh I LOOOOOVE Trump!!! That’s a totally normal thing to say about a politician! You know who else can say that? No one. Not even the best Biden fans…you know he doesn’t have fans? Can you believe that?
I love Trump so much I have bought his sneakers, his steaks, his socks, his hats, his shirts, his jorts, his truck decals, his crypto, his dolls, his sunglasses, his guns, his ammo…in fact, I’ve gone into debt just to buy more of his merch. You know who else has that? No one.
This implies that the majority of the world has a mental health disorder. Yes, that must be it…
How stupid do these MAGA clowns think people are? And: Are they perhaps projecting their own characteristics onto others?
Or is it perhaps about imprisoning dissidents for no reason?
Hmmm, that sounds familiar. Ahh, yes, Hitler and his henchmen did the same thing…
They are getting away with much bigger atrocities than this. People will absolutely be on board to suddenly have their trump-hating relative actually be mentally ill. Then you don’t have to listen to anything they say because they are just crazy.
Even announcing trump derangement syndrome in an official setting so it can be in the news cycle for as long as they want is going to have a powerful impact on the personal, individual level much wider than what he has done this term so far really. Now anyone who disagrees with trump is crazy. That’s just best case scenario.
As I said, this is straight out of Hitler’s playbook and serves to prepare for the next atrocities. Nazis have traditionally been interested in giving their crimes a legal veneer.
Nope, that’s not out of Hitler’s playbook, that’s out of Stalin’s. The Nazis killed psychiatric patients and converted hospitals to barracks; they did not fill them.
Weird I didn’t see the second half of your comment when I first replied. You’re absolutely right and I’m terrified. The social-political environment and economy that allowed the rise of the nazis in Germany have been happening in America for decades. There are so many parallels and then within 6 months in office a LOT of big stuff is happening really fast. Federal institutions completely gutted, harassment of the employees by their government, deportation of citizens, removing birthright citizenship, and now wanting a medical diagnosis for anyone who disagrees with them.
It is absolutely terrifying and I no longer feel safe sharing my opinion anywhere because I don’t know how dangerous it will be in the future.
“Guys it’s right out of Hitler’s playbook”
Goes back to bed
Every accusation is a confession from the GOP
Yes, but with things like this, the current US government is actually trying to create a legal basis on which it can make undesirable people disappear. Just like the Nazis did in the Third Reich.
It’s about establishing an unjust state with the corresponding legal means.
I really think that plans are being made here to establish a dictatorship. There are many other signs of this.
The plans were made by the middle of 2024. Project 2025 is well underway.
I’m from Germany and am only observing the situation from afar. Are there any efforts to prevent the US from becoming a fascist state?
I know, of course, that people are taking to the streets and that this is not being reported adequately by the media. But what is the plan?
In any case, there seems to be no serious resistance from the Democratic Party…
It’s much the same problem you guys had in the 1920s. Hate is easy. Cruelty is the norm. Humanity, like the chimpanzee we’re closest related to, is a very ‘in-group/out-group’ species. You’re either one of us, or you’re a threat to be beaten down and killed. Hate is easy to stoke, especially when things are tough. And don’t forget – Hitler studied hate-filled regimes world-wide before he put together his authoritarian empire, and one he studied hard was the US Southeast. Abuse of ‘inferior’ people was a way of life for them!
Standing up could get you killed in these not-so-United States, so a lot of us try to keep our heads down and be ‘Good Americans’…
If there are, they aren’t being reported on. It seems American individualism will kill us all
Year 2785. The Tesla-built Trump-atons patrol the irradiated skyline of New America. The scorched remnants of what was once called Earth. Their red, white, and chrome exoshells glint beneath a sun filtered through atmospheric ash. “Nobody knew healthcare would be so complicated” can be heard over the speaker from it’s silver jowls.
From beneath a collapsed monument to Elon, a stone shifts. A malnourished human, skin sun-leathered and trembling, crawls out wrapped in a faded Trans-Palestinian Soviet flag. Eyes cracked with age and dust, he whispers into the void:
“Every accusation… is a confession.”
“Trump-bots are racist.”
“General strike.”
Centuries-old resistance slogans, preserved like fossilized dog shit, echo into silence. No one hears him. No one cares because these are decades old slogans that never really packed a punch anyways and were never adapted over time or expanded on through content creation and memetic knowledge.
In the shadow of the gutted White House, Lauren Ro-BoeBert 2.0 strokes patriotism behind a metal dumpster her servos sticky with Trump derangement.
The world turns. The code loops. And somewhere, deep beneath the bedrock, a spark of humanity retreats back to its lemming like hole beneath New America.
Will this severe mental disorder help me qualify for disability?
It’ll qualify us for the labor camps RFK Jr wants us in at least.
Unlimited mandatory treatment, in South Sudan.
I might be unhinged. I have a desire to call Trump and irrationally yell at him for every problem I have, regardless if it’s his fault
I’ve had one my whole shitty life. The Orange Jackass is just making it easy worse.
Critical Thinking is now a Mental Health Disorder?
Ignorance is strength. Sickness is health.
