Everyone who isn't with us is against us, but yeah not a cult
So trumps followers have Trump derangement syndrome. Makes sense.
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.
He is not deranged he is just a piece of shit Nazi like his father.
Shouldn't it be "Trump's Derangement Syndrome"?
...I'm confused. He named a new mental illness after himself now?
Not him, but a bunch of other people on his political party.
It does feel a little like an attempt to legitimise it, so that criticisms are flipped off as mental illness, and/or an opportunity for institutionalising/excluding political opponents for much the same reason.
This is their attempt to get around that pesky 1st amendment. Make criticism of the king a "mental disorder", and then you can lock them up involuntarily "for their own protection".
Ah, that makes sense. I wasn't sure if they were actually poking fun at him or his supporters. It just reads as a word salad to me.
A little?
This is directly attempting to make criticizing Trump result in active life fuck-uppery.
Did someone say PSYCHIC pathology?
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.
Yes, hating Trump is deranged, but this was not: 
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): 
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"

Top tier boss bitch.
As a german: this is 1:1 the 3rd Reich playbook.
Stop it as long as you can!
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.
It's too late. It's now on the rest of the world to prepare for the American Nazi regime
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.
Hey now, don't forget the allegations of sexual misconduct from employees.
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
If hating the guy who's threatening to take over my country is an illness, then bring it on, I've got it bad.
Yes, Trump's derangement can be classified as a completely new form of mental illness
They forgot the apostrophe!
Phhhs you people are getting so worked up over adolf hitler. Stop worrying guys! he'll by gone by 1937
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.
Walz is the Minnesota governor, not Michigan.
doh, I need more coffee
I just type the wrong state, this is happening in Minnesota not Michigan
Ah, neat!
I wonder if those who believe in TDS would also believe in Trudeau Derangement Syndrome where one feels compelled to put “F🍁CK TRUDEAU” flags on everything. Realistically these people probably know nothing about Canadian politics though
