I'm not sure why Bill is presenting this shit, but he should stop!
These fucking unimaginative regressive vengeful idiots - they just ripped off ODS and CDS and tried to make it a thing during donvict's first term, and then, ironically had such a case of BDS under Biden [1].
Now the bootlicks want to enshrine "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (not a real thing) into law?
[1] ODS, CDS and BDS are and were actual things on the right, though. They kept claiming that these milquetoast center-right Democratic presidents were tyrannical, were going to take their guns, create death panels, bring about a Marxist regime, that qons were being "censored" (lol), and so on....that's some serious derangement.
U guys remember that scene in Schindler’s List where the little girl is screaming “Good bye you Jews!” To all the families as they are being marched off to a slave labor camp? Well this is how that sorta shit starts. Make the opposition the demon and get away with anything.
This is indeed how that sorta shit starts.
Worse, Americans also seem to have forgotten how to make that sort of shit end. Everyone agreed on what to do with Nazis 80 years ago.
You mean import the upper level Nazis into America ala Operation Paperclip?
Everyone certainly did not agree. A very sizable segment of US citizens were Nazi sympathizers before and after WWII. Remember what it took for the United States to get involved in the war effort in the first place.
This is unhinged. I hope it doesn't pass.
It won't. Even if it did Walz would would veto it.
Every single elected Nazi will probably vote for it, but they don't have a majority and they are super upset about it.
They got it backwards.
We educated America wrong, as a joke

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
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.
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.
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!
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!
I would greatly appreciate if articles like this would include the state in the title.
It’s Minnesota.
Psychiatry has always been the violent imposition of politics.
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.
