Tomorrow there'll be a new bill to decriminalize pedophilia.

"How dare you notice my fascism! You're mentally ill!" gaslighting at its finest and classifying something doesn't make it true.

"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.

These people are so stupid they believe everyone must be as stupid as they are.

[–] aesthelete 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

Confirmed. At first I was confused about the comments. Good idea, an obvious opportunity!

[–] beejboytyson 10 points 1 day ago

Funny thing is that's how I read it...

This will not pass in Minnesota. What a stupid bit of grandstanding and waste of taxpayer money.

I seem to clearly remember a story from the Bible about this, but perhaps they've simply skipped that part during their reading?

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.

When you let the nuts runs the show, sanity goes on trial

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?

[–] A_Random_Idiot 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

its not about arrogance.

its about manufacturing cause to lock up and dispose of dissenting voices.

Maybe if your cult obsession with Trump is to the point where you propose bills like this you might be mentally ill for real.

[–] LucidLyes 6 points 1 day ago

they're so far gone in the cult they belong in mental institutions

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Russian stooge uses Russian method of oppression by abusing the mental health care system.

[–] Gammelfisch 5 points 1 day ago

This will give the Government of Putin the excuse to throw the critics into the privately run detention centers.

[–] LanguageIsCool 46 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Conservatives are wild. I don’t know if they intentionally do it but their behavior is absurd. Obsessed with Obama’s birth certificate, LeTs Go BrAnDoN, and even super whacky shit like QAnon and trying to prove Michelle Obama is a man. They hate “mainstream media” yet Fox News is one of the biggest networks. They’re all about merit yet discount anything AOC says, who’s smart and studied, because she bartended. And now they want to turn the tables, claim they are and have always been normal, and it’s people who disapprove of Trump who are deranged. It makes no sense.

[–] Zahille7 23 points 2 days ago

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.
