Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

We live in a world where people worship a businessman/politician as the literal second coming of their messiah, but "Trump Derangement Syndrome" refers to people who are critical of a convicted felon who openly ran for office to kill further prosecutions against him
This post and the responses make me glad I was private schooled.
This is the litmus test for our democracy. If it passes we are so unbelievably fucking cooked.
We've been hurtling past brightline after brightline for decades. Now it is so flagrantly obvious, can it get any more obvious than multiple Goose-step Salutes, but more importantly the propaganda spin to play them off and justify it as not being a disqualifying action. They used to have to dog whistle their zeal for bigotry and xenophobia.
The question is, what the actual fuck are we going to do about it?
Organize? Direct action? That magic word that happens when you mash up insurance and male arousal? The DNC would not support or pardon folks involved in that effort, and the corporate media would absolutely vilify it.
The answer is obvious, with historical underpinning, although we still have to figure out how to "televise the revolution" in this day and age.
Subd. 28. Trump Derangement Syndrome.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome" means the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump. Symptoms may include Trump-induced general hysteria, which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology in President Donald J. Trump's behavior.
Psychic pathology is a phrase that could go in several directions.
That will never pass in Minnesota. Who authored the bill?
republicans there are really pissed-off they couldn't do any damage when they had that manufactured one-seat house majority.
they're also trying to recall every single DFLer from the state house.
they used to be independent republicans. not anymore. they're all hooked on the maga ~~juice~~diaper leakage.
The independent Republicans were all pushed out of the party when they opposed Trump. Some were beaten in primaries, most saw it coming and retired.
Agreed that it'll never pass in MN. The question is, how long until a copy of this is introduced in some red state where it could pass?
Edit: Hit save too soon
screams in Tennessee
Our legislative body here is dying to suckle at the hamberder teet. Hell they are trying to rename the Nashville international airport (BNA) to Trump international.
That orange mofo isn't even from Tennessee.
Like God damn.. can you bend over further?
At the apex of the pyramid comes Big ~~Brother~~ Orange. Big ~~Brother~~ Orange is infallible and all-powerful. Every success, every achievement, every victory, every scientific discovery, all knowledge, all wisdom, all happiness, all virtue, are held to issue directly from his leadership and inspiration.
What's not to love? Of course anyone that doesn't like this guy would have to be mental!
I would greatly appreciate if articles like this would include the state in the title.
It’s Minnesota.
This is PROOF that Republicans LOVE Freedom and are NOT Snowflakes or Fascists!
I know it's tough, but just try to breathe evenly, look out the window for a while. It'll soon pass. Don't give up the fight!
Psychiatry has always been the violent imposition of politics.
What's interesting is that I don't think this is in the DSM
This is not good. Eta; has anyone mentioned similar bills in other states?
Since 2016, quite a few. And probably before that too. And probably significantly more since 2025.
As horrible as this one is, the real problem is in numbers: every single bullshit law introduced by MAGAGOP must be called out and ultimately repealed. This democracy isn't dying with a bang, it''s dying by 1000 cuts.
What the fuck, no way
Lots of people are about to be diagnosed some type of delirium.
Delirium is transient, temporary.
This can happen with medication, UTIs in old people, old people in a prolonged hospital stay away from their set home environment, etc. Fix the trigger and you fix the delirium.
For a while, american police were diagnosing people with cases of "excited delirium". They would say the person was unresponsive to commands, and due to their mental state, were a danger to themselves and others.
The officer feared for their life. That's why the officer had to be involved in a shooting, resulting in injuries, and the person would later die in an ambulance or hospital.
Sometimes they used it as an excuse to kneel on people's necks. In some cases, the people they were detaining begged for their lives, only to expire later due to injuries sustained from the arrest.
