"The Right’s Trump Derangement Syndrome" - Michelle Goldberg, Opinion Columnist - NYT

[Dante]

We say "It's about time." I've long fought back at the MAGA faithful and others who have mistakenly accused others of suffering from what they themselves have been suffering through - Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Even other members on usmb have been coming out and stating the obvious: "The Right Has a Serious Case of Trump Derangement Syndrome"

Shortly before the last election, Scott Bessent, now Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary, assured The Financial Times that Trump had no interest in reducing international trade and that his threats to impose sweeping, 20 percent tariffs on foreign goods were simply a “maximalist” negotiating position to be watered down during trade talks. “My general view is that at the end of the day, he’s a free trader,” said Bessent.​

​

A few weeks later, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Howard Lutnick, now Trump’s commerce secretary, whether Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could become secretary of health and human services. “Of course not,” said Lutnick, treating the question as if it were absurd.​

​

During the transition, Senator Thom Tillis, Republican of North Carolina, acted indignant when Democrats asked Pam Bondi, now Trump’s attorney general, if she and the president-elect might consider blanket pardons for Jan. 6 insurrectionists. “I was the last member out of the Senate on Jan. 6,” said Tillis. “I walked past a lot of law enforcement officers who were injured. I find it hard to believe that the president of the United States, or you, would look at facts that were used to convict the violent people on Jan. 6 and say it was just an intemperate moment.”​

​

Just last month, Representative Dan Crenshaw of Texas, who is both a Trump apologist and a supporter of Ukraine, insisted that when Trump trashes Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, it’s actually a sign of affection. “Trump tends to talk that way to his friends,” said Crenshaw. “He tends to talk nicer to his enemies. So if he’s talking to you that way, it still means you’re his friend.”​

Hello Dante,

I am a mental health professional. I regret to inform you that you have been diagnosed with a severe strain of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Possibly fatal.

I recommend checking into the nearest mental health hospital and refraining from making any further posts about President Trump.

Thank you,

We’ve asked you people multiple times to point out what President Trump policies are “fascist”, and you can never give a straight answer.

Tell us, is the fascism in the room with you right now?

Their use of this term has been one of the great ironies of this disaster.

Spot on.

The right invented the term Trump Derangement Syndrome to dismiss analysis of Trump’s autocratic tendencies, compulsive lying and generally detestable character as liberal hysteria. For conservatives who don’t want to engage with substantive criticism of their leader, it functions as a thought-terminating cliché, a term often used by people who study cults to describe ideological formulations that short-circuit critical thinking. Trump Derangement Syndrome implies that if someone tells you something about Trump that you don’t want to hear, that person must be crazy.

But the real derangement lies in either the refusal or the inability to see Trump clearly. A few months ago, if people had predicted that Trump would cut off intelligence-sharing with Ukraine, destroy U.S.A.I.D., free all the Jan. 6 convicts, put his lackey Kash Patel in charge of the F.B.I. and turn us into a despised enemy of Canada, they’d have been accused of unhinged political hatred. As Nick Catoggio wrote in The Dispatch, Trump’s second term is “shaping up to be what doomsayers thought his first term would be.”

Cope and seethe leftards.

Nothing beats the Jan 6th cope and seethe...

MAGA beating back our great LEOs w/incredible force

MAGA beating back our great LEOs w/harsh chemicals

MAGA spider-men determined to get into our Capital by any means necessary

MAGATs successfully breaking in downstairs while displaying their favorite flags

MAGA spider-man breaks in shocking our great LEOs/boys in blue

MAGA that breached our Capital proudly walking and displaying his anti-American flag

MAGATs that breached out Capitol proudly walking and claiming proof for a job well done

Other MAGAts lead by Q-conspirator is in the building threatening our great LEOs/boys in blue

Our great LEOs trying to keep our elected Congress men and women safe

Elected Congress men and women in great fear over what MAGA was doing

Out great LEOs/boys in blue were able to stop a few MAGATs that day

This is why our great LEOs/boys in blue weren't able to stop MAGA, they were overrun and ultimately overwhelemed

Some of our injured great LEOs/boys in blue that barely survived the insurrection comforting and taking each other to safety
