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.
Funny thing is that’s how I read it…
Confirmed. At first I was confused about the comments. Good idea, an obvious opportunity!
Canada and Mexico REALLY need to seal our borders…
The problems in both countries have always been the US
I seem to clearly remember a story from the Bible about this, but perhaps they’ve simply skipped that part during their reading?
They only read the clobber verses about killing gay men, and the shitty bits of Paul (much of which wasn’t even written by Paul).
You can tell they don’t even read the Sodom and Gomorrah stuff, because they don’t know about Lot’s daughters getting their dad drunk to rape him, which is like immediately after.
Nah they know about it, let no conservative tell you their Christian. To be Christian is to aspire to be like Christ, very few self proclaimed Christiana can claim that
Wow… and now you display the symptoms of TDS to everyone. Brave of you
Are you going to bat for a pedo?
Well you know what they say, not ever republican is a pedophile, but every pedophile is a republican
Tomorrow there’ll be a new bill to decriminalize pedophilia.
When they’re literally deranged by Taylor Swift and Barbie movies…
This will give the Government of Putin the excuse to throw the critics into the privately run detention centers.
Did someone say PSYCHIC pathology?
When I first heard of TDS I thought it was about his deranged stans and I thought that made sense.
Then I was told it was about all the people who lost their minds because of his election and defined themselves purely oppositionally to him, and I thought that made sense.
Then I observed that it’s really just used as a slur against anyone who doesn’t like him or his policies, and that makes sense too because that’s the ultimate death of every social critique that ends up promulgated by conservatives.
It’s always projection with those assholes.
they’re so far gone in the cult they belong in mental institutions
It seems very many folks on lemmy have TDS.
The obvious troll is obvious, easiest block
Agreed.
My guess is he’s trying to rename Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome because he has it.
TDS is definitely a real thing, but allowing the government to detain people for it is insane.
You are smoking crack.
Disgust at corruption and criminality is not a syndrome, it’s a sign of mental health.
If you only care when Trump does it, it’s Trump derangement syndrome. Biden pushed forward with many of Trump’s worst policies, and Democrats didn’t have shit to say about it then.
You talk as if trump is “normal”, ignoring the kinds of things he says, how he says them, who he says them to, his tantrums in all caps on social media, his lack of poise, professionalism, and diplomacy. The guy is abrasive as fuck. You must have bad memory.
Exactly. Neoliberals do not oppose Trump policies, but his lack of decorum. Which is why they had no problem with Obama and Biden quietly progressing fascism. They don’t like that he says the quiet part out loud, and gives away the game.
Who mentioned neoliberals?
I’m applying the appropriate label to your neoliberal principles that you have openly espoused here.
You’re clearly confused
Politics is not about rational decision making as studies have shown. However most people think that they are completely logical with there political views. In reality they decide on a view and then find evidence to support it. It also doesn’t help that the “news” these days is mostly a propaganda outlet whatever party they support.
I disagree with the idea that Biden is just as bad as Trump. Biden barely did anything in office. Trump is going full swing to push forward his policies. At least he has balls. (That may be one of his best qualities honestly)
The Democrats didn’t but the base was sure pissed about it. That party is constantly under fire from its own base because of how much they rely on being the only option that isn’t full-blown insane-o fascism. The country at its core is broken and in a way that constantly reinforces itself. I do not envy the people who have to put the work in to fix it.
The Democrats are also full-blown insano fascist. It’s the same party pretending to be two. That’s why they’re both backing this genocide. That’s why the Democrats always manage to produce enough votes to help the GOP secure their votes. It’s why the Democrats sue anyone farther left off the ballots.
For sure, but the country has no other options. It’s like asking someone if they would prefer to be punched or stabbed and then claiming they enjoy the punching. You didn’t have “get a hug” as an option so stop acting like it’s there.
So you want to fix things by electing the people who broke them in the first place. Genius.
If two people are trying to kill you, you don’t pick which one to ally with. You defend yourself against both of your enemies.
That’s not what I said, but ai don’t know if what I say really matters to you more than acting smug does. Also, I live in a country with more than two parties and I do not participate in “strategic voting”.
Why are you putting this much effort to troll when bots can do it for you.
Your position benefits oligarchy.
I’m just stating facts y’all don’t like, because they’re unflattering to your preferred flavor of fascism.
I’m not going to be peer pressured into supporting either fascist party. Grow a spine.
Oh, you’re a “both sides are the same” person.
Yes, I’m the kind of person who believes empirical data.
Removed by mod
K. Give me a data point.
Apparently you don’t know how many Indians Churchill killed. Or you don’t believe Indian lives are equal to those of white Europeans.
Disagreeing with someone destroying the economy, spending trillions of tax payer dollars, and making enemies of our allies is a mental disorder? But wasting time making bullshit bills like adding to my Rushmore when it’s physically impossible is normal behavior. Got it
TDS is more obsessively believing that systemic issues are specifically a Trump problem.
No TDS is opposing trump per their definition
Yeah, they’re being broad to use it as an excuse to imprison people for opposing Trump. But they didn’t coin the phrase TDS.
Conservatives 100% coined TDS.
I saw it in leftist circles long before I saw conservatives using it. Same for the Blue MAGA label. They’re born from leftist criticism of neoliberals & conservatives being two sides of the same coin, and the terms have been co-opted by Red MAGA to a degree.
5 seconds of google.
The origin of the term is traced to Charles Krauthammer, a conservative political columnist, commentator, and psychiatrist, who coined the phrase Bush derangement syndrome in 2003 during the presidency of George W. Bush. That “syndrome” was defined by Krauthammer as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency—nay—the very existence of George W. Bush”.[9][10][11][12] The first use of the term Trump derangement syndrome may have been by Esther Goldberg in an August 2015 op-ed in The American Spectator; she applied the term to “Ruling Class Republicans” who are dismissive or contemptuous of Trump.[13] Krauthammer, in an op-ed commented that—in addition to general hysteria about Trump—the “Trump Derangement Syndrome” was the “inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and … signs of psychic pathology”.[12]

As a german: this is 1:1 the 3rd Reich playbook.
Stop it as long as you can!
It’s too late. It’s now on the rest of the world to prepare for the American Nazi regime
I can’t believe you all are serious writing this stuff. America will move on after trump. America is going to be fine - as such as it is -. Likewise, everyone is going to be fine. Life in going to carry on.
I get the German doesn’t understand, but come on, man. Ain’t going to be no Trump dictator. So much bs fear is being pushed. Resist it.
How far did you go in school?
College, then I started teaching piano and middle school. So if you need any help, just me know. You can do it, I believe in you.
So you should get a refund.
You think they had any schooling? You’re very kind.
With some people, it doesn’t matter how long they’re in school, it makes no difference.
God. You are an awful person. Please stop talking
Wanna make a bet?
I want to remind you about all the things people said we were “overreacting about” years ago, how did that turn out in light of recent events?
A bet about what? That Trump tries to become a dictator? Lol. I’d bet it all on that he won’t…
If you honestly think Trump could even get a third term, you don’t know anything about our political system, or it’s history.
If you honestly think Trump could even get a third term, you don’t know anything about our political system, or it’s history.
You appear to be under the delusion that laws and historical precedents are self-enforcing. Laws that are not enforced are meaningless, and Trump and his mob are lawless.
Well you’ve already lost that bet, because he self-identifies as a dictator and Republicans submitted a constitutional amendment to remove the two-term limit the day after he was confirmed.
So pay up
Ok. But no, because that won’t happen. No one’s buying that. The real trumpsters i suppose love it, but it won’t fly with Republicans at large id wager. Im not into starting that. And that’s a far cry from trying to become a dictator anyway. You need to understand i didn’t vote red or blue. I think we need to fight the hole system, not each other.
Keep you head in the sand, mate, I’m sure you’ll be safe like that.
I mean you have had more constitutional crises each month since Trump’s inauguration than you had in a full presidential term before that. The massive power grab the executive is performing is one thing, but that the president at the same time cannot be trusted to comply with court orders and openly goes after critics and his opposition.
What would you call a ruler that cannot be prosecuted for anything they do, weaponizes the courts against dissenting voices, turns their back on allies in favor of dictators, and whose closest allies break laws regulating them weekly without consequences? This is the reality currently. All that really differentiates him from a clear dictator is also breaking the law on term limits, not leaving office when required as he already tried and failed in his first term.
“Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed.
All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours? How much longer do you think your country will last? Forever?”How do you “move on” from knowing my neighbors are nazi fascists? How do I just ignore the fact they voted to destroy families of people they dont like, dehumanizing them and laughing at it when people fall apart?
You don’t get to pretend you voted for a fascist party and aren’t a fascist yourself. We all know that if there is a Trump replacement when he dies these same people will want a new hate party leader in office. If you think we are just going to move in maybe ask the Germans how painful the transition of the 20 years post WW2 was for them. That’s what is in store for the US if things don’t change now.
@[email protected] 4 years
I hope you actually do get reminded in 4 years. That’s awesome. You will more clearly see the overreaction. Time is the great clarifier.
@RustyChainsawEnema Ok, I will remind you on Saturday Mar 17, 2029 at 11:12 PM UTC.
Thank you, kind bot.
It’s already very much not “fine.” I could write you an essay but you don’t seem the type to argue in good faith. Want a small example? I’m Canadian. Never seen an ally turn so fast, nor seen such a high level of anti-American sentiment in my life. From trusting and supportive to disgusted - not just as the fascist wannabe government - but at Americans themselves for their pseudo-exceptionalism, pig-headed displays of lack of intellect.
You might not recognize it, or care - but there’s been a huge shift and it’s happened almost overnight.
Pleasing raise your awareness on this, or just don’t derive what you know from msm. The big shift that happened was perspectives. I love my northern socialist kid brother of a country. Please don’t write an essay, but give me 1 thing.
Well you proved my point that you’re a waste of time lmao. Cheers my fascist citizen!
It’s on the rest of the world, and all the non-fascist Americans, to stop it before it gets worse.
We have no ability to effect any meaningful change at this point outside of high velocity lead poisoning.
I kinda want to leave for good.
Well, better organize then.
You have. Go in the street in masses make sure that Republicans fear you.
Our german constitution allows for violence from civilians to protect the democratic order if any other means failed.
We have this for good reasons. To make sure we don’t ever end up with a dictatorship again.
It will pe painful, it will be ugly, but if you wait to long this is the only way
In America, our system works like this:
The police will shoot you, maybe burn your house or neighborhood down, steal everything you own, Lock you up without charges, and then if you can ever afford a lawyer to sue them you might get out of jail only to find the burned-out hole in the ground you used to live in was sold to a property developer and none of the money found its way to you.
You also owe tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes on the burned down house for the time you were in jail, but all of the money for selling the house was given to some scam artist who knew you wouldn’t be able to stop them.
You can’t afford to go to the doctor, but a third of your income is spent on health insurance. It takes 2 hours of work to afford a dozen eggs. You no longer have a car because they towed it from your driveway while you were locked up and you can’t even afford to get it out of impound despite the fact that every day the cost of storing the vehicle goes up by more than you earn.
This country is a fucking nightmare for so many people.
The police will shoot you
And that’s true of every repressive regime that has ever been overthrown by people power. Just remember: if we don’t resist, they’ll just find it easier to kill us. There’s no option where we’re safe and they still exist.
Though most democracies don’t shoot people when they are in good times quite like the US.
Good luck with AfD. Don’t let your problem grow to be as large as ours has gotten.
Thanks! We fight!
We had millions in the street against the afd and we won’t stop!
We will take any legal and civil action we can
