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?
Psychiatry is and has always been political
Just like good old Generalissimus Stalin. He learns from the best!
Hitler, also. Remember that one of the only books anyone can recall Trump reading regularly is a collected volume of Hitler’s speeches.
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.
I’ve had one my whole shitty life. The Orange Jackass is just making it easy worse.
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.
Christians doing their loop
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…
Depression is the first disease from a second term so why not accept that as fact.
I might have a mental health disorder, but I am cognitively healthier than any of his butt-kissers.
Thanks
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.
It’s still early days, most likely many years later it will be both worse and better than is feared by me
So America lost the cold war against communism?
You guys were fighting?
We only had 72 years to adapt. Let us cook
I do think hating Trump has diagnostic value. It’s a strong indication of anit-sociopathic tendencies.
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.
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.
The administration is preparing to put them all in a “mental health camp”.
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.
I propose that we will follow up to this new disorder. Maybe it can be compromised by learning people how to read, though it has been shown by experience that wearing a diaper remains a necessity for this disorder. Anyone got an idea how we’ll push these patients beyond the toddler stage and, of course, allow them to become full-functioning adults who can read and write? /s
(Or even better: How about we set an age limit and a clear prevention against having anyone run for office who may not vote by the law. Come on, America: You can do it!)
Is everything a mental disorder now? Psychology is such a joke.
This is not a legitimate disorder, this is Republican politicians pushing for what they’ve been calling “Trump derangement syndrome” to become a “real” disorder. With RFK jr talking about bringing back asylums for the mentally disabled, I’m pretty sure I’m not being too conspiratorial in thinking this will be the factor that “legitimizes” incarcerating those who speak out about how awful Trump is…
