Five Republican Minnesota state senators are pushing for the term to be included in the state's definition of mental illness.

Summary

Five Republican Minnesota state senators plan to introduce a bill classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) as a mental illness, defining it as “acute paranoia” about Trump’s presidency.

The bill argues TDS causes hysteria, verbal hostility, and aggression toward Trump supporters.

Critics argue this represents a dangerous politicization of mental health diagnoses that could suppress political expression.

The bill will be read Monday before the Minnesota Senate Health and Human Services Committee, where Democrats hold a narrow majority.

    I propose we make CBS a mental illness (Chronic Bootlicking Syndrome), people who have CBS may inhibit the following symptoms:

    1. Blind obedience to authority
    2. Lack of critical thinking skills
    3. Inability to think independently
    4. Blind anger and agressesion towards those who are weaker
    5. Inability to feel sympathy and/or regret
    6. Lack of empathy and/or love
    7. Inability to form genuine interpersonal relationships with ones peers (that are not based on coercion or fear)
    8. Forming strong parasitic relationships with authority figures to the point of obsession
    9. Delusional visions of the world including the past, present, and future
    10. Delusional visions of ones place in society, specifically the idea that they will gain leverage in society by bowing down to authority
    11. Severe lack of class consciousness to the point that they feel closer to the capitalists then their peers (workers)

    This list is not complete, people who have CBS are highly advised to read some theory and maybe try feeling human emotions. However if left untreated for too long it may become terminal and kill any ounce of humanity left in the person. As of now there is no cure, however therapy is a great treatment (effectiveness may vary).
