If You Don't Like Trump Does That Mean That You Have TDS?

[Mac1958]

Me, I went from being a MAGA diehard to sometimes I like him and sometimes I don't depending on what he is or isn't doing at the moment (I definitely support him in the war) so I would call that normal behavior not having TDS. For the people who don't like Trump at all though, I think that there is a fine line from saying eh that you don't really care for the guy to being completely psychotic and constantly making up stories just to bash him. That's the way I see it.

I would have you consider three things.

First, This "Derangement Syndrome" tag didn't start with Trump. It's been around a while, and the Dems used it when Obama was criticized. The Right said some pretty crazy stuff about him, too, including the "anti Christ" crap we're seeing now. Tribalism has been getting worse, but it didn't just start with Trump. It's just a partisan defense mechanism.

Second, as you know, this has ever been an either/or, Left vs. Right thing. There are MANY conservatives who have come out publicly against him, INCLUDING his former staffers, former cabinet members, former attorneys, former Generals and others. Now we're seeing people like MTG and many podcasters break away. Trumpsters refuse to admit that glaring fact.

And third, and most important to me, I've said many times that this is not even ABOUT Trump. This has always been about who we are as a country, our morality, and how sick a country must be to toss its morality, decency, critical thinking and even RELIGION into the toilet like this. And we see it manifest in the breakup of families and relationships from coast to coast.

Screaming TDS says more about the person screaming than it does about the target. The Dems have done similar dumb things. Trumpsters think it works, because they're not thinking, they're emoting.

The anti trump diehards are fanatics in their own rite

They are the real cultists

And they know it too. Why they cling to the dying dumocrap party and continue to dedicate their lives to its failing causes is one of the world's biggest mysteries. What's worse is they refuse to move on, regroup, and develop a better offer to the people. They are way too obsessed with Trump and the MSM is driving them into a psychotic frenzy that is destroying their lives, and they know that too. And they say anyone who isn't like them is in a cult. Can't make this shit up.

He's not there to be 'liked', he's there to make the long put off tough decisions and roll back the communist corruption and elitist corporate led sissification of the US. If it makes some spoiled Burb Brat sociopaths all mad n shit, good.

You have been Labeling people forever. Tribe, Cult.....

Now you whine we Label your sorry asd.

Lame

 

[EdwinAMartin]

You start too many threads on the topic of Trump.

He ain’t a saint. We get it.

But he has been doing a very good job. The border security mess has been largely fixed.
He has exposed the grift nature of shitlib Democrap Party legislation to aid the poor. He took on the Islamofascist Iranian regime efforts to acquire the capability to craft nuclear weapons. And it worked.

So, with all appropriate respect, I would urge you to focus more on specific issues worthy of discussion and debate.

He is that 'Third Party Candidate' most people were sniveling for over the years, then started whining when they got that.

Another reason why citizenship and literacy tests should be required to vote. It won't fix everything, but it will sure weed out more morons than not.

That is what I call "Leftist Logic." Mac1958 is one of the most disingenuous people here. He pretends to be this voice of reason but can't be reasoned with. He doesn't like to admit it, but he is a typical leftist. A typical leftist that thinks anyone who doesn't perfectly adhere to the leftist doctrine is in a cult. That's Leftist Logic.

There are people out there who are intelligent, measured, fair critics of President Trump. They do not have TDS.
There must be ... oh ... ummmm ... at least ... at least ... like ... 3 of them in the whole country.

Do you think you’ll find any of them around these parts?

First time I remember the "Derangement Syndrome" label used was by Rush Limbaugh for "Bush Derangement Syndrome." But the first actual derangement I saw was for Bill Clinton.

To me the derangement piece comes when people not only oppose a president's policies but also say "how can they want this guy?"

With Bill Clinton the derangement came during the Monica Lewinsky episode. Based on everything the Democrats/Feminists had preached up to that point, anyone who did what Clinton did with Monica should have been immediately impeached and removed in disgrace. Seeing feminists who had - right up until Monica-gate - assured us that anytime a boss asked a female subordinate out on a date, or complimented her looks it was sexual harassment and that boss should be fired.

I remember being pretty upset about this ad hoc reversal in policy myself.

Couldn't happen today I guess. Feminists have either denounced that belief or gone into hiding. Hard to be a feminist when you support a party that doesn't even know what a "female" is.

Yes, maybe Bill Maher is one. Of course I only see clips of him criticing the direction of the Dems, so I don't know what he says about Trump.

That would be nice. I wish there was a way to invite them here.

The crazies embrace the democrat party because it shares their insanity

He’s a nazi

 

[Eman623]

It's deranged to claim a man who lost an election was the winner and the real President during another man's presidency.I never claime that

So STFU.

Neither did I, so you STFU times infinity.

 

[Eman623]

The fact is that the tariffs plus the increased cost of gas caused by things the President has done did create the high prices we are paying. The inflation during Biden was caused by a pandemic that Trump mismanaged.

On average Americans wages have risen faster than inflation.

Oh, Maher is no fan of Trump. But at least he's willing to give him some credit and isn't a knee-jerk hater for the most part.
What sets Maher apart from other TV clowns is that ...
1) He's actually funny unlike Colbert or particularly Kimmel
2) He's not a Leftist. He's an old school liberal. But not Marxist-Leninist modern day Democrat.

Maher has not been funny for thirty years.

Yeah, the 2/10ths of one percent is sure a lot of dough

Recent Performance: As of March 2026, wages grew at 3.5% while inflation was 3.3%, marking a continued trend of positive real wage growth since mid-2023.

I read about him. It seems the left have already spun it to be OK in this instance, probably blaming it on Trump somehow. As for the dumocrap party, it dawned on me that they are trapped in a toxic culture and refuse to get out. But if you listen to any of the millions of people who abandoned the dumocrap party lately they will tell you they just couldn't take the negativity of the party anymore and it was causing them to become seriously depressed. They were the stronger ones who could still walk away. If you talk to the remaining dumocraps they are seriously depressed and extremely angry all the time. I think psychotic is a fitting word to describe them.
