This historical period will be remembered by being a cause for legislation to introduce strict testing for mental illness in government positions. Ask any psychologist and it’s clear what it is, but they won’t say it publicly because of Goldwater “rule”. fact is they have the most dangerous and destructive mental illness known, and they captured the power exactly because of their disorderly mindset. Yet for months and years everyone is observing and discussing what people with a serious mental illness are doing when they are given highest post in power and unlimited money.

This is the equivalent of the "mentally ill lone wolf" rationales given for American mass shootings.

What possible difference would a psychological test make when an pre-existing felony conviction is not enough to keep him from voting, but also to actually sit as head of state?

What is happening in America simply doesn't happen without broad-based, implicit, systemic support at all the important decision-making junctures. In 2017, several of the highest-profile executive orders were slapped down in court within days. In 2025, the government is not even pretending to abide by court rulings on their EOs, and are detaining people without charge and revoking their visas without due process.

You’re making some bold statements about the ability of congress to pass legislation at all.

A medicalized psychiatric state is not the solution to the current lunacy. Just imagine the abuses it would lead to.
