There are some good points here:
NIH Could Be Directed To STUDY ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ – modernity
Legislation has been introduced to direct the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to investigate the psychological and social roots of ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’.
Ohio Republican Rep. Warren Davidson has presented the Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) Research Act of 2025, intended to shed light on what has been a serious cultural affliction.
Described as an “intense, irrational hysteria” triggered by the mere mention of President Trump, TDS has become a catch-all for the unhinged reactions of his critics— whether it comes in the form of spittle-flecked blue hair rants, protest effigies, or social media meltdowns.
On the other hand, there is the risk of this leading to forced treatments and mirroring the Soviet Union reeducation treatments and camps.
I would be more comfortable with the concept if there was no government involvement in the research and possible treatments.
Another possibility is that this is just trolling at a grand scale. If so, it is hilariously funny, but I would rather legislators spend their time reducing the national debt and excessive regulation.
I think the concept of studying TDS is intriguing, but the concern about government overreach is real. A lot of people fear that this could be the beginning of a slippery slope where opinions are medically labeled and treated. We definitely need a careful approach.
The incoherence of the Lefties is legendary. Rush Limbaugh referred to liberalism as a mental disorder and he was not wrong. When the ideologies people hold render them unable to carry on a rational conversation with someone they disagree with then there is a serious problem. Most sane people will wisely leave them to their rants and allow them to slide ever deeper into the incoherent abyss. While it might be interesting to have objective and verifiable evidence of psychological damage, it might be in the best interest of the country as a whole to just amp up the trolling to encourage the self extinction of those who are unable to lucidly discuss issues and opinions and advance rational dialog and thought. Lest anyone think this is all one sided, it should apply equally to anyone on either end of the political spectrum that cannot debate the merits of any issue without devolving into screaming, name calling, ad homonym attacks or violence and property destruction. And, ANY violence or property destruction, regardless of political persuasion of the perpetrators MUST be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
As someone who has a mother who watches MSNBC at least 10 hours if not 12 hours every single day and screams at the TV constantly about Trump, and has been doing so for a literal decade, every single day, I can confidently say that Trump derangement syndrome is a real thing. Completely emotionally irrational. Impossible to reason with, impossible to argue with, constantly screams at you when you question anything they believe or defend anything orange man does or even try to explain why orange man is doing what he does. You can’t argue with her because she’ll just scream at you and when she is not she just moves the goal posts and said that she’s older so her opinions are the correct ones because she watches the news. And then calls me brainwashed by propaganda.
I can barely stand to be around her. Her derangement is so extreme that even though she every day complains (loud angry screaming) about how “Trump is going to take her Social Security” she actually gotten mad that DOGE found over 3 million illegals getting full Social Security benefits and 2 million more getting Medicare. She was only minorly upset that was going on but she was absolutely furious that it was discovered. Because it proves Trump’s point.
She has openly declared that Donald Trump will literally be personally responsible the extinction of all life on earth.
She was furious that Trump survived his assassination attempt and is hoping and praying that someone tries to kill him again and succeeds. When I’m around her doing things at her house this is pretty much the extent of every experience I have with her. Except when she has the TV off. And even then.
I don’t know what else you would call that. Where a person existing and just a mere mention of his name or sound of his voice can send someone over the edge to such an insane degree.
The only reason she hasn’t disowned me and cut me out of her life entirely is because she can to some degree separate politics from family. But it’s mainly because she cannot survive without my physical and financial support. I had to literally give her $2700 over the last month because she couldn’t afford to pay her taxes.
She called me twice today after I got off work to just scream at me about Trump and how he’s cutting Medicaid and Medicare and Social Security. probably because someone at MSNBC said something.
She does this multiple times a week. Friends and family call her and Trump is almost all she can talk about.
Sorry to read this, Shawn. My wife is nearly that bad. Watchs MSNBC and CNN for multiple hours a day. Orange Man Bad is incapable of doing anything correctly, and in fact is Satan and Hitler combined. I avoid any sort of conversation that fringes on politics, and if I point out any sort of contrary opinion to what she just parroted from the MSM, then I’m agreeing with MAGA. She’s broken off good friendships with two of our very nice neighbors, my best friend of over 40 years, and her best friend of over 50 years – because they voted for that evil man.
She’s having a hard time now with that nasty Jake Tapper beating up on that poor nice Mr. Biden – and I don’t think she’s really processed that those lying motherfuckers in the media have been lying to her for decades.
She took an extended vacation in Costa Rica from late January to early March because she couldn’t stand to see what was happening to our country – meanwhile, I was mostly celebrating what was happening to our country.
It’s been a rough few years, ever since she started gluing herself to the TV during the J6 hearings.
The weird thing, is we agree on many issues, it’s just a matter of degree on things like environmental protection, etc. Unfortunately, the continued TDS is not sustainable in this marriage, and I’m not sure when it’s going to break.
“She took an extended vacation in Costa Rica from late January to early March”
And you didn’t move all her stuff to a storage shed and change the locks?
Or just throw on a backpack and run like your escaping Sodom and Gomorrah?
She must be good in bed. Or your just living proof that “opposites attract”?
Sorry to hear it all brother. Best of luck.
All good suggestions. I actually was thinking along those lines, but there was too much snow and I was too lazy.
It’s not TDS. And the syndrome is certainly nothing new in humanity.
Yuri Besmenov explained it very well 40 years ago.
Even Trump explained that it was not about him. It’s about us. And our refusal to going along with the brainwashing.
The part Yuri didn’t talk about was the emotional collapse that comes with having that system of brainwashing, and its support systems destroyed.
Next comes the irrational violence. Lots and lots of violence.
Till one or the other is destroyed.
Not a good can of worms to open. Once the precedent is set it’s only a matter of time before people who believe in personal freedom would be “investigated” for their “mental illness”…and it WOULD happen once the left regains power…which is inevitable.
