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?

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 26 minutes ago

its not about arrogance.

its about manufacturing cause to lock up and dispose of dissenting voices.

I agree. It should be "Trump's Derangement Syndrome" law, either as impeachment or as A25 issue.

Russian stooge uses Russian method of oppression by abusing the mental health care system.

Unless real doctors accept this as a real illness, it's just politicians jerking off.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 6 points 1 hour ago

This is potentially a legal rather than a medical diagnosis, and if the legal system is sufficiently corrupted, it doesn't matter what doctors think.

Also, in previous instances (Bush-era torture, for example), the medical and psychological professions just went along. Nover underestimate the venality and spinelessness of professional organizations.

The smug childishness of a grade school bully who got you in trouble after you lost your shit and finally punched back. These assclowns are infuriating.

Conservatives are wild. I don’t know if they intentionally do it but their behavior is absurd. Obsessed with Obama’s birth certificate, LeTs Go BrAnDoN, and even super whacky shit like QAnon and trying to prove Michelle Obama is a man. They hate “mainstream media” yet Fox News is one of the biggest networks. They’re all about merit yet discount anything AOC says, who’s smart and studied, because she bartended. And now they want to turn the tables, claim they are and have always been normal, and it’s people who disapprove of Trump who are deranged. It makes no sense.

All of that? That's the point. That's exactly how they want us to feel: confused, hurt, isolated. They will gladly say something incredibly hypocritical and then just smile a shit-eating grin when you call them out, because we both know there's nothing that can be done short of violence and that's when they've "won."

But in all honesty, violence actually is an answer, and a proper one to bullshit like this. I don't give a fuck if you could call it assault if someone is literally taunting and threatening me when I haul off and beat their ass.

Do it. Make them scared of violent revolution and reprisals.

As a therapist, I won’t recognize it. Fuck that.

My guess is he's trying to rename Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome because he has it.

So trumps followers have Trump derangement syndrome. Makes sense.

[–] MangoCats@feddit.it 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

5+ years back Trumpettes threw around the label TDS at Trump detractors, saying they couldn't see reality due to their rage...

Whatever you call it, however you see it, there is significant mass psychosis associated with our nutcase-in-chief.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

Fear of chaos and loss of civil rights? That sounds entirely rational based on what the Trump administration is up to.

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 26 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

It's always projection with those assholes.

[–] ksigley@lemm.ee 10 points 15 hours ago

These are the same morons that have Biden Derangement Syndrome.
