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.

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

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

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.

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.

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 15 points 23 hours ago (5 children)

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

It's too late. It's now on the rest of the world to prepare for the American Nazi regime

So trumps followers have Trump derangement syndrome. Makes sense.

[–] MangoCats@feddit.it 7 points 22 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 11 hours ago

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

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?

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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"

These are the same morons that have Biden Derangement Syndrome.

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 77 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yes, Trump's derangement can be classified as a completely new form of mental illness

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.

He is not deranged he is just a piece of shit Nazi like his father.

[–] NoxAstrum@lemmy.ca 45 points 1 day ago

If hating the guy who's threatening to take over my country is an illness, then bring it on, I've got it bad.

[–] Benetto@literature.cafe 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

...I'm confused. He named a new mental illness after himself now?

[–] T156@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago

Trump wants his opponents tortured in prison "hospitals," just like what's done to Putin's opponents.

[–] suicidaleggroll@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago

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".

Shouldn't it be "Trump's Derangement Syndrome"?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 17 points 1 day ago

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.
