    I love how far I had to read before it was clear that it’s not what Trump has; it’s what people who disagree with him apparently have.

    Diseases are often named after their victims…

    Also, and this is buried in everything he is doing, but how arrogant do you have to be to assume that every person disagrees with him just because he’s Donald Trump, and not because there are valid concerns?

    The best thing about someone using the term Trump derangement syndrome unironically is that I know I can just ignore them and nothing of value will be lost.

    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.

    Last month, Elon Musk revived the term and told Fox News host Sean Hannity he used to be “adored by the left” until they were infected with TDS.

    From what I remember, it had nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with you calling the experts who successfully rescued a bunch of children trapped in a cave, “pedo guy” along with all your other aggressive tactics to silence critics. Followed by the Twitter purchase.

      Trump at the press dinner, Musk masturbating to submersible plans, Bezos getting cucked for half his fortune.

      Limp white millionaires really do get deranged when they realise it doesn’t buy them respect.

        Thanks for reminding me that Mackenzie Scott did far more for the world with her half of his money than he can ever hope to achieve in 100 lifetimes.

        Go look up how much this woman has donated to charity over the years. It’s astronomical, compared to Jeff lol

    Yes, hating Trump is deranged, but this was not: truck gate decal depicting President Biden tied up in the bed of the truck

    Anyone ever see one of these with Trump?

    Btw, I got this simply from searching “Biden truck decal”. I got no negative top results searching Trump instead of Biden. In fact, this is the best one I got from adding anti- in front of Trump in the search (with relevant double-standard caption included): picture of a white truck’s back window with the words “fuck Trump and fuck you for voting for him” but with the f-words blurred out. Caption says, “Outstanding warrant. Woman with anti-Trump decal arrested.”

    So tell me again, who is deranged?

      So I just googled “anti-trump car decals” and was given a link to buy anti-maga stickers on Amazon, and when I went to images I got to see some decent ones. But then I saw an article with the same truck in your second picture, stating the driver added another sticker to the back windshield saying “FUCK LOCAL SHERIFF’S NAME AND FUCK YOU FOR VOTING FOR HIM”

        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.

          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.

          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.

            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.

              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.

              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.

          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.

        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.

            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.

    Michigan Republicans

    probably worth noting that their Governor is Tim Walz, the VP candidate from the last election. One of the few Democratic Party members who is in the news constantly for criticism of the current President.

    Not that this has a chance to pass because the DFL controls the State Senate and the Governors office, but I be its a political ploy so they can say then need to remove Walz because he is mentally unsound.
