Obviously, this horrendous and fascist (par for the course). I think there is also a subtle insidious layer to this that would imply stripping all dissidents of their gun rights, therein stifling rebellion.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
In first reading the title I was wondering if the bill was talking about people blindly following Trump.
Same - instead sounds like they want to classify dissenters as mentally unwell so they can be locked-away or deported like the rest.
Not just locked away, they want to torture them in mental institutions and fry their brains with psychiatric meds. Just like in Morther Russia.
Don't assume this is a joke.
They are constantly probing, and will keep trying to expand their power until they are stopped.
This just in: 99% of the world’s population suffers from Trump derangement syndrome.
The other 1% has actual certifiable psychological issues.
Dictators outlaw dissent.
Is this some kind of stunt? Like they know it's not going anywhere but they can read their witty bill into the record for giggles. What an embarrassment. Who votes for these toddlers?
It’s to begin normalizing the idea of locking up dissenters…
One step away from Thoughtcrime.
Just out of curiosity, do you want to hold the trials after the shit burns down in Nuremberg like the last ones, or do you want to do that somewhere in the US?
Won't tds being a diagnosable mental health condition make those exhibiting it a protected class?
No, that's not what they want, this is more like the Nazis putting the stars on people in camps to designate visually who to attack first.
Yeah, if the rule of law meant anything. It doesn't anymore.
Anyone mind linking thr actual bill? Didn’t find it in the article
