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-Glenco …

Kinda funny

Does someone on FR get credit for coining TDS?

CNN gets credit for coining “Positivity” as a ‘medical term’ in 2020.

“a term coined to describe a form of criticism”

Yeah, no.

Liberalism is the bigger mental problem, TDS is just the number one symptom!

Actually the consequences would be far worse because as soon as people can legally qualify for the label “mentally ill” they get to claim welfare benefits based on illness or, worse yet, can avoid full criminal prosecution for acts of violence. Probably not worth the laugh on the long run.

Musk Derangement and Trump Derangement is on Auto Pilot with special auto pends and depends.

Maybe the knucklehead will sign it... It might need funding.

Can you picture all the Mini-sootans claiming it as a disability?

i think the Pubs are just taking pity on the millions of tesla-buying virtual signalers whose virtue-signalling has turned to ashes in their mouths ... the level of induced cognitive dissonance is truly unimaginable: “save the planet, no wait, sell the tesla, OMG what should i do? ... SCREEEEAAAAMMMMM” ...

it makes sense that a new code for this condition will have to be inserted into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR)? ... but what will it be named? ... maybe “Morbid EV Regret Due to Intractable TDS”? ...

[Note: as many of us have predicted, the many utterly insane, dead-end, illogical and contradictory positions leftists have been forced to adopt would sooner or later lead to true insanity unless abandoned all together.]

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.

And just like that, Dems went after Eichorn, accusing him of "soliciting a minor."
