    Yeah, this totally won’t be abused to lock up opposition. I mean research into why the most divisive asshole in recent history cuases division is obviously a sham, especially from the group that thinks research is having a conclusion and then finding evidence to support your conclusion.

    Fuck these bastards

    The only derangement is among the MAGAts in politics all trying to shove their faces betwixt Trumps flabby cheeks at the same time.

    If someone is a hateful prick and you greatly dislike them for their words and actions then it is a natural reaction, not a “syndrome”.

      It’s like being in a highly dysfunctional family. They do crazy shit then blame you for your natural response and tell you that you’re the problem.

    Uhhhhhhhh! The Nazis did this. anyone who disagreed, caused trouble, or eventually was Luke-warm to National Socialism was seen as “sick”, “degenerate”, or " deranged". This was a classification that meant death for some, exile for others, and terror for anyone who witnessed your fate.

      It’s a classic move by totalitarian states, Fascist Italy and the Soviet Union used the same tactic (North Korea continues to use it). And unfortunately it was pretty effective. No one really believed the people shut away were actually crazy, but they sure were scared of being disappeared to an “asylum”, “psychiatric facility”, or “reeducation camp”.

      Basically. They’re trying to associate dissent with mental illness just like they’ve been trying to associate LGBTQIA+ with obscenity.

      Which means the mentally ill will be the next “then they came for” for republicans and the next “under the bus” for democrats.

    They’ve been setting us up for years. “Liberalism is mental illness.” Stalin also sent many dissenters to die in mental hospitals.

    Much like Florida’s campaign to make trans identity into a mental illness, this is a long con to give prosecutorial power against people at a later date when they decide the mentally ill are, “useless eaters” as the Nazis called them. It may seem extreme, but RFK has already signaled a disdain for neurodivergent people that’s blatantly ableist and borderline eugenicist.
