This is a bit late to the game, but just in case you missed it…a couple of Minnesota Senate Republicans recently introduced a bill that would have defined “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness. In other words, disagreeing or defying Trump would be considered madness.
For those with any sort of memory of history, that is chilling. It brings to mind the Soviet Union’s practice of defining critics as lunatics and locking them up in asylums.
But here’s where the story gets some chuckles. One of the Republicans behind the bill was Justin Eichorn of Grand Rapids. And, according to several reports, the energetic Mr. Eichorn ”has been arrested for allegedly trying to solicit sex from a minor.”
It seems that Mr. Eichorn was online chatting with what he thought was a 16-year-old girl and suggested a meeting. But…oh, dear…it wasn’t a girl at all. It was a full-grown police detective.
My goodness. By golly. Rather a mess, don’t you think?
Still, it is nice to know that there is a certain symmetry to it all. The man who attempted to define his opponents as mentally ill is alleged to have his own form of mental illness. And a fairly dramatic one at that.
Pedophilia, that is. Or, if you prefer, gross criminal lust.
