“Smallpox, the bubonic plague, the Spanish flu — those are some of the diseases that have changed the course of history over the last few thousand years,” Carlson said. “Here’s a new one … Trump Derangement Syndrome is a particularly insidious illness because it doesn’t affect individuals but entire entire political parties, rendering them unrecognizable. Until about 20 minutes ago, for example, the Democrats saw themselves as the party of reason, resistant to superstition and mass hysteria.”
“They were, as they often told you, the party that fought McCarthyism. Now, it’s the party that engages in McCarthyism, enthusiastically.”
“Trump Derangement Syndrome” sufferers are willing to take any position, as long as it’s the opposite of President Trump’s.
“Their only remaining principal is hatred of the president”
“To anyone who remembers the Democrats of the 1960s, the ’90s or even three years ago, it’s all very confusing. That party is dead,” Carlson concluded. “It’s been replaced by a new one whose entire platform could be, say no to Trump.
This isn’t politics anymore; it’s the world’s dumbest religion.”

Tucker Carlson: Democratic Party Is ‘Unrecognizable’
For years Conservatives who cannot frame an argument on empirical evidence have fallen back on this clumsy claim that Liberalism is a religion.
The simplest reason this argument fails is religion requires doctrine. Liberalism is a political, not a doctrinal position.
People can and most often and most constructively do compromise in politics. Compromise is why America is great. The constitution itself is a document of, for and by compromise.
One does not compromise with one's God. Compromising God, in any religion, is false doctrine. Heresy. Blasphemy.
Conservatives who are less than intellectually capable fall back on this, the slenderest reed, in a ham handed attempt at scoring cheap political points. Those points are scored intramurally as Liberals and Independents and Conservatives who recognize the straw man pit up by the weaker minds and reject them out of hand.
