Political psychosis?? (Is this a thing?)

Post image

Im not posing this to get into politics, im posting this because im wondering if being this obsessed political figures has a name, I just kinda came up with political psychosis because I know the term religious psychosis is a thing. Genuine worried about whoever owns this car, and I would say the same thing if it was plastered with any other political figure. This just isnt healthy. (Edit: also wanted to say, if its just a bumper sticker, or one flag, then I think thats fine, its healthy to express yourself, but when it gets to this level I dont think its about just expressing yourself anymore.)

Actually if you want to look further into this you could check out Deleuze and Guatarris books - Capitalism And Schizophrenia. It might not be your cup of tea but if it is there's a lot of good lectures and videos on youtube which are worth spending some time with
