As a german: this is 1:1 the 3rd Reich playbook.
Stop it as long as you can!
It's too late. It's now on the rest of the world to prepare for the American Nazi regime
I can't believe you all are serious writing this stuff. America will move on after trump. America is going to be fine - as such as it is -. Likewise, everyone is going to be fine. Life in going to carry on.
I get the German doesn't understand, but come on, man. Ain't going to be no Trump dictator. So much bs fear is being pushed. Resist it.
Wanna make a bet?
I want to remind you about all the things people said we were "overreacting about" years ago, how did that turn out in light of recent events?
A bet about what? That Trump tries to become a dictator? Lol. I'd bet it all on that he won't...
If you honestly think Trump could even get a third term, you don't know anything about our political system, or it's history.
Well you've already lost that bet, because he self-identifies as a dictator and Republicans submitted a constitutional amendment to remove the two-term limit the day after he was confirmed.
So pay up
Ok. But no, because that won't happen. No one's buying that. The real trumpsters i suppose love it, but it won't fly with Republicans at large id wager. Im not into starting that. And that's a far cry from trying to become a dictator anyway. You need to understand i didn't vote red or blue. I think we need to fight the hole system, not each other.
"Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed.
All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours? How much longer do you think your country will last? Forever?"
How far did you go in school?
You think they had any schooling? You're very kind.
College, then I started teaching piano and middle school. So if you need any help, just me know. You can do it, I believe in you.
So you should get a refund.

@RustyChainsawEnema Ok, I will remind you on Saturday Mar 17, 2029 at 11:12 PM UTC.
Thank you, kind bot.
I hope you actually do get reminded in 4 years. That's awesome. You will more clearly see the overreaction. Time is the great clarifier.
It’s already very much not “fine.” I could write you an essay but you don’t seem the type to argue in good faith. Want a small example? I’m Canadian. Never seen an ally turn so fast, nor seen such a high level of anti-American sentiment in my life. From trusting and supportive to disgusted - not just as the fascist wannabe government - but at Americans themselves for their pseudo-exceptionalism, pig-headed displays of lack of intellect.
You might not recognize it, or care - but there’s been a huge shift and it’s happened almost overnight.
Pleasing raise your awareness on this, or just don't derive what you know from msm. The big shift that happened was perspectives. I love my northern socialist kid brother of a country. Please don't write an essay, but give me 1 thing.
Well you proved my point that you’re a waste of time lmao. Cheers my fascist citizen!
How do you "move on" from knowing my neighbors are nazi fascists? How do I just ignore the fact they voted to destroy families of people they dont like, dehumanizing them and laughing at it when people fall apart?
You don't get to pretend you voted for a fascist party and aren't a fascist yourself. We all know that if there is a Trump replacement when he dies these same people will want a new hate party leader in office. If you think we are just going to move in maybe ask the Germans how painful the transition of the 20 years post WW2 was for them. That's what is in store for the US if things don't change now.
God. You are an awful person. Please stop talking
I mean you have had more constitutional crises each month since Trump’s inauguration than you had in a full presidential term before that. The massive power grab the executive is performing is one thing, but that the president at the same time cannot be trusted to comply with court orders and openly goes after critics and his opposition.
What would you call a ruler that cannot be prosecuted for anything they do, weaponizes the courts against dissenting voices, turns their back on allies in favor of dictators, and whose closest allies break laws regulating them weekly without consequences? This is the reality currently. All that really differentiates him from a clear dictator is also breaking the law on term limits, not leaving office when required as he already tried and failed in his first term.
We have no ability to effect any meaningful change at this point outside of high velocity lead poisoning.
I kinda want to leave for good.
You have. Go in the street in masses make sure that Republicans fear you.
Our german constitution allows for violence from civilians to protect the democratic order if any other means failed.
We have this for good reasons. To make sure we don't ever end up with a dictatorship again.
It will pe painful, it will be ugly, but if you wait to long this is the only way
In America, our system works like this:
The police will shoot you, maybe burn your house or neighborhood down, steal everything you own, Lock you up without charges, and then if you can ever afford a lawyer to sue them you might get out of jail only to find the burned-out hole in the ground you used to live in was sold to a property developer and none of the money found its way to you.
You also owe tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes on the burned down house for the time you were in jail, but all of the money for selling the house was given to some scam artist who knew you wouldn't be able to stop them.
You can't afford to go to the doctor, but a third of your income is spent on health insurance. It takes 2 hours of work to afford a dozen eggs. You no longer have a car because they towed it from your driveway while you were locked up and you can't even afford to get it out of impound despite the fact that every day the cost of storing the vehicle goes up by more than you earn.
This country is a fucking nightmare for so many people.
Though most democracies don't shoot people when they are in good times quite like the US.
Thanks! We fight!
We had millions in the street against the afd and we won't stop!
We will take any legal and civil action we can
Yes, hating Trump is deranged, but this was not:
Anyone ever see one of these with Trump?
Btw, I got this simply from searching “Biden truck decal”. I got no negative top results searching Trump instead of Biden. In fact, this is the best one I got from adding anti- in front of Trump in the search (with relevant double-standard caption included):
So tell me again, who is deranged?
So I just googled "anti-trump car decals" and was given a link to buy anti-maga stickers on Amazon, and when I went to images I got to see some decent ones. But then I saw an article with the same truck in your second picture, stating the driver added another sticker to the back windshield saying "FUCK LOCAL SHERIFF'S NAME AND FUCK YOU FOR VOTING FOR HIM"
Top tier boss bitch.
It was the wrong kind of free speech, you see.
Yes, Trump's derangement can be classified as a completely new form of mental illness
They forgot the apostrophe!
From what I remember, it had nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with you calling the experts who successfully rescued a bunch of children trapped in a cave, “pedo guy” along with all your other aggressive tactics to silence critics. Followed by the Twitter purchase.
Trump at the press dinner, Musk masturbating to submersible plans, Bezos getting cucked for half his fortune.
Limp white millionaires really do get deranged when they realise it doesn't buy them respect.
Thanks for reminding me that Mackenzie Scott did far more for the world with her half of his money than he can ever hope to achieve in 100 lifetimes.
Go look up how much this woman has donated to charity over the years. It's astronomical, compared to Jeff lol
Hey now, don't forget the allegations of sexual misconduct from employees.
All of that? That's the point. That's exactly how they want us to feel: confused, hurt, isolated. They will gladly say something incredibly hypocritical and then just smile a shit-eating grin when you call them out, because we both know there's nothing that can be done short of violence and that's when they've "won."
But in all honesty, violence actually is an answer, and a proper one to bullshit like this. I don't give a fuck if you could call it assault if someone is literally taunting and threatening me when I haul off and beat their ass.
Do it. Make them scared of violent revolution and reprisals.
People keep posting that Sartre quote about anti-semites, but that’s the point.
It’s not about the actions, it’s about who is doing them.
If hating the guy who's threatening to take over my country is an illness, then bring it on, I've got it bad.
Less than a day later...

Well you know what they say, not ever republican is a pedophile, but every pedophile is a republican
Tomorrow there'll be a new bill to decriminalize pedophilia.
Wow.. and now you display the symptoms of TDS to everyone. Brave of you
Are you going to bat for a pedo?
The smug childishness of a grade school bully who got you in trouble after you lost your shit and finally punched back. These assclowns are infuriating.
one of the sponsors was arrested for soliciting a minor today
https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/03/18/state-senator-eichorn-arrested-suspicion-of-soliciting-a-minor
Gaggle Of Pedophiles
That was remarkably fast
Totally not a cult.
Everyone who isn't with us is against us, but yeah not a cult
Guys, just steal this and use it to describe deranged Trump idiots. The right wing steals useful words like "fake news" and "groomer" and alters their meanings for political purposes all of the time. This one should be a layup because without reading into it everyone already thinks it's the condition those everyday July 4th cosplay, big truck with tattered flags morons have.
Funny thing is that's how I read it...
Confirmed. At first I was confused about the comments. Good idea, an obvious opportunity!
When I first heard of TDS I thought it was about his deranged stans and I thought that made sense.
Then I was told it was about all the people who lost their minds because of his election and defined themselves purely oppositionally to him, and I thought that made sense.
Then I observed that it's really just used as a slur against anyone who doesn't like him or his policies, and that makes sense too because that's the ultimate death of every social critique that ends up promulgated by conservatives.
I love how far I had to read before it was clear that it's not what Trump has; it's what people who disagree with him apparently have.
Diseases are often named after their victims...
Also, and this is buried in everything he is doing, but how arrogant do you have to be to assume that every person disagrees with him just because he's Donald Trump, and not because there are valid concerns?
its not about arrogance.
its about manufacturing cause to lock up and dispose of dissenting voices.
Fair, but I'm sure he's arrogant enough to believe it, too.
Yeah, but arrogance just one layer of the shit onion of fascism we are currently being force fed.
I agree. It should be "Trump's Derangement Syndrome" law, either as impeachment or as A25 issue.
"you didn't see graphite on the roof because it isn't there. This man is ill take him to the infirmary"
Classic USSR/GOP tactic.
I seem to clearly remember a story from the Bible about this, but perhaps they've simply skipped that part during their reading?
Nah they know about it, let no conservative tell you their Christian. To be Christian is to aspire to be like Christ, very few self proclaimed Christiana can claim that
They only read the clobber verses about killing gay men, and the shitty bits of Paul (much of which wasn’t even written by Paul).
You can tell they don’t even read the Sodom and Gomorrah stuff, because they don’t know about Lot’s daughters getting their dad drunk to rape him, which is like immediately after.
So trumps followers have Trump derangement syndrome. Makes sense.
5+ years back Trumpettes threw around the label TDS at Trump detractors, saying they couldn't see reality due to their rage...
Whatever you call it, however you see it, there is significant mass psychosis associated with our nutcase-in-chief.
Uh, no, those are the normal well adjusted people, I'm talking about the psychotics that still support it.
Phhhs you people are getting so worked up over adolf hitler. Stop worrying guys! he'll by gone by 1937
...I'm confused. He named a new mental illness after himself now?
Not him, but a bunch of other people on his political party.
It does feel a little like an attempt to legitimise it, so that criticisms are flipped off as mental illness, and/or an opportunity for institutionalising/excluding political opponents for much the same reason.
This is their attempt to get around that pesky 1st amendment. Make criticism of the king a "mental disorder", and then you can lock them up involuntarily "for their own protection".
A little?
This is directly attempting to make criticizing Trump result in active life fuck-uppery.
Ah, that makes sense. I wasn't sure if they were actually poking fun at him or his supporters. It just reads as a word salad to me.
It’s another “every accusation is a confession” - he’s accusing people who hate him of having this, but really it’s the ones who are obsessed with loving him that are deranged.
The best thing about someone using the term Trump derangement syndrome unironically is that I know I can just ignore them and nothing of value will be lost.
Michigan Republicans
probably worth noting that their Governor is Tim Walz, the VP candidate from the last election. One of the few Democratic Party members who is in the news constantly for criticism of the current President.
Not that this has a chance to pass because the DFL controls the State Senate and the Governors office, but I be its a political ploy so they can say then need to remove Walz because he is mentally unsound.
Walz is the Minnesota governor, not Michigan.
doh, I need more coffee
I just type the wrong state, this is happening in Minnesota not Michigan
You know you can click edit and revise your original comment.
You could even use
~~around the word to cross it out so people aren’t confused by the replies.Ah, neat!
He is not deranged he is just a piece of shit Nazi like his father.
Shouldn't it be "Trump's Derangement Syndrome"?
When you let the nuts runs the show, sanity goes on trial
Maybe if your cult obsession with Trump is to the point where you propose bills like this you might be mentally ill for real.
My guess is he's trying to rename Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome because he has it.
When they're literally deranged by Taylor Swift and Barbie movies...
These are the same morons that have Biden Derangement Syndrome.
As a therapist, I won’t recognize it. Fuck that.
…brought to you and sponsored by a pedophile.
Your 2025 GOP All Star lineup!
Unless real doctors accept this as a real illness, it's just politicians jerking off.
It allows them to send people who don’t like Trump to mental asylums
Psychology and psychiatry as professions unfortunately include people who believe that any deviation from what they personally consider “normal” is illness. There’s a very strong influence from shitstains like Dr Laura and Dr Phil on practitioners, and there are definitely some who’d like to punish political beliefs they disagree with.
This will not pass in Minnesota. What a stupid bit of grandstanding and waste of taxpayer money.
I wonder if those who believe in TDS would also believe in Trudeau Derangement Syndrome where one feels compelled to put “F🍁CK TRUDEAU” flags on everything. Realistically these people probably know nothing about Canadian politics though
Did someone say PSYCHIC pathology?
they're so far gone in the cult they belong in mental institutions
Canada and Mexico REALLY need to seal our borders...
The problems in both countries have always been the US
This, however, would be considered perfectly sane.
This will give the Government of Putin the excuse to throw the critics into the privately run detention centers.
Democrats should counter with a "Trump Sycophancy & Supplication Syndrome" Bill...
Good to see the republicans in Minnesota are taking a page from the USSR.
Changnesia is REAL!!!
What is this comment section...
Can you explain? I don’t have a problem with what I see?
You don't appear to have made a point
Ohhhhh burn, gotttem.
What?
I wasn’t going to say anything, but since you’re so smug - spring break doesn’t last a couple of months. I’m not even a college kid and I know that.
I don’t see your point. College kids do what? Respond against Trump? I would guess most of us here aren’t kids. Do you know where you are?
This is amazing to watch! To see all the liberals trying to figure out what TDS means to themselves. It's a blessing to see so many being illuminated.
They're starting to become aware of themselves!
Hey, turns out one of the Republican senators that helped draft this bill is a pedophile.
Hopefully you figure out what TDS means and who the people you associate with really are.
Obviously I already know about TDS since I said that. So, what did it mean for you? Did you learn anything about yourself?
How does the pedophile thing relate?
weak bait is weak
Bait only looks like bait to a fish
Trump Derangement Syndrome sounds like it's named after an ailment Trump suffers from, just like how Lou Gehrig's Disease is named after the disease that Lou Gehrig had.
Sounds like you probably have TDS
What do we call the child molesters wasting our tax money drafting bills like this? Oh right, maga supporters.
It seems very many folks on lemmy have TDS.
The obvious troll is obvious, easiest block
Agreed.
TDS is definitely a real thing, but allowing the government to detain people for it is insane.
If you only care when Trump does it, it’s Trump derangement syndrome. Biden pushed forward with many of Trump’s worst policies, and Democrats didn’t have shit to say about it then.
Exactly. Neoliberals do not oppose Trump policies, but his lack of decorum. Which is why they had no problem with Obama and Biden quietly progressing fascism. They don’t like that he says the quiet part out loud, and gives away the game.
I’m applying the appropriate label to your neoliberal principles that you have openly espoused here.
The Democrats didn’t but the base was sure pissed about it. That party is constantly under fire from its own base because of how much they rely on being the only option that isn’t full-blown insane-o fascism. The country at its core is broken and in a way that constantly reinforces itself. I do not envy the people who have to put the work in to fix it.
The Democrats are also full-blown insano fascist. It’s the same party pretending to be two. That’s why they’re both backing this genocide. That’s why the Democrats always manage to produce enough votes to help the GOP secure their votes. It’s why the Democrats sue anyone farther left off the ballots.
For sure, but the country has no other options. It’s like asking someone if they would prefer to be punched or stabbed and then claiming they enjoy the punching. You didn’t have “get a hug” as an option so stop acting like it’s there.
So you want to fix things by electing the people who broke them in the first place. Genius.
If two people are trying to kill you, you don’t pick which one to ally with. You defend yourself against both of your enemies.
That’s not what I said, but ai don’t know if what I say really matters to you more than acting smug does. Also, I live in a country with more than two parties and I do not participate in “strategic voting”.
Why are you putting this much effort to troll when bots can do it for you.
Your position benefits oligarchy.
I’m just stating facts y’all don’t like, because they’re unflattering to your preferred flavor of fascism.
I’m not going to be peer pressured into supporting either fascist party. Grow a spine.
Oh, you're a "both sides are the same" person.
Yes, I’m the kind of person who believes empirical data.
https://act.represent.us/sign/problempoll-fba
K. Give me a data point.
Apparently you don’t know how many Indians Churchill killed. Or you don’t believe Indian lives are equal to those of white Europeans.
Politics is not about rational decision making as studies have shown. However most people think that they are completely logical with there political views. In reality they decide on a view and then find evidence to support it. It also doesn't help that the "news" these days is mostly a propaganda outlet whatever party they support.
I disagree with the idea that Biden is just as bad as Trump. Biden barely did anything in office. Trump is going full swing to push forward his policies. At least he has balls. (That may be one of his best qualities honestly)
You are smoking crack.
Disagreeing with someone destroying the economy, spending trillions of tax payer dollars, and making enemies of our allies is a mental disorder? But wasting time making bullshit bills like adding to my Rushmore when it's physically impossible is normal behavior. Got it
TDS is more obsessively believing that systemic issues are specifically a Trump problem.
No TDS is opposing trump per their definition
Yeah, they’re being broad to use it as an excuse to imprison people for opposing Trump. But they didn’t coin the phrase TDS.
Conservatives 100% coined TDS.
I saw it in leftist circles long before I saw conservatives using it. Same for the Blue MAGA label. They’re born from leftist criticism of neoliberals & conservatives being two sides of the same coin, and the terms have been co-opted by Red MAGA to a degree.
5 seconds of google.
