"Trump Derangement Syndrome" as a mental illness
Symptoms of the faux illness include ‘Trump-induced general hysteria’ where a person struggles to distinguish between ‘legitimate policy’ and ‘psychic pathology’
You're viewing a single thread.
TDS is definitely a real thing, but allowing the government to detain people for it is insane.
Disgust at corruption and criminality is not a syndrome, it's a sign of mental health.
If you only care when Trump does it, it’s Trump derangement syndrome. Biden pushed forward with many of Trump’s worst policies, and Democrats didn’t have shit to say about it then.
Oh, you're a "both sides are the same" person.
Yes, I’m the kind of person who believes empirical data.
Politics is not about rational decision making as studies have shown. However most people think that they are completely logical with there political views. In reality they decide on a view and then find evidence to support it. It also doesn't help that the "news" these days is mostly a propaganda outlet whatever party they support.
I disagree with the idea that Biden is just as bad as Trump. Biden barely did anything in office. Trump is going full swing to push forward his policies. At least he has balls. (That may be one of his best qualities honestly)
You talk as if trump is “normal”, ignoring the kinds of things he says, how he says them, who he says them to, his tantrums in all caps on social media, his lack of poise, professionalism, and diplomacy. The guy is abrasive as fuck. You must have bad memory.
Exactly. Neoliberals do not oppose Trump policies, but his lack of decorum. Which is why they had no problem with Obama and Biden quietly progressing fascism. They don’t like that he says the quiet part out loud, and gives away the game.
Who mentioned neoliberals?
I’m applying the appropriate label to your neoliberal principles that you have openly espoused here.
You’re clearly confused
Enlighten me.
Your comment is entirely taking issue with Trump’s lack of decorum. No specific issue with policies. Classic neoliberalism.
Lol. So you assumed that means I like his policies and categorized me as a neoliberal. That’s a huge assumption. You’re clearly not talking to me, you’re having a discussion with phantoms in your head that you project on to me.
The Democrats didn’t but the base was sure pissed about it. That party is constantly under fire from its own base because of how much they rely on being the only option that isn’t full-blown insane-o fascism. The country at its core is broken and in a way that constantly reinforces itself. I do not envy the people who have to put the work in to fix it.
The Democrats are also full-blown insano fascist. It’s the same party pretending to be two. That’s why they’re both backing this genocide. That’s why the Democrats always manage to produce enough votes to help the GOP secure their votes. It’s why the Democrats sue anyone farther left off the ballots.
For sure, but the country has no other options. It’s like asking someone if they would prefer to be punched or stabbed and then claiming they enjoy the punching. You didn’t have “get a hug” as an option so stop acting like it’s there.
So you want to fix things by electing the people who broke them in the first place. Genius.
If two people are trying to kill you, you don’t pick which one to ally with. You defend yourself against both of your enemies.
That’s not what I said, but ai don’t know if what I say really matters to you more than acting smug does. Also, I live in a country with more than two parties and I do not participate in “strategic voting”.
It’s exactly what you said. It’s just not how you want it to be interpreted, because it doesn’t align with your self-image.
A lot of people are groomed into supporting fascism by being made to believe they are somehow opposing it by backing a certain fascist. Both the Democrats and the Republicans are doing this right now.
The only way to read your comment as having any level of intelligence implies that there is a third option I’m missing. So what’s your alternative, then?
And “no one votes for the Democrats while knowing that the nation is full of people who can’t afford to take the risk of a Republican administration” is not an alternative. I get the sentiment, but it’s not happening. I’d say it should be primaries, but the DNC doesn’t really do those and their weird, sequential primary is designed to allow them to shape the outcome as it happens.
So please, enlighten us.
So then all your enemy has to do to convince you to surrender, is convince you that they are two enemies, and the next one will be worse.
Democrats are killing people too. Not all of us are willing to continue sacrificing those people to maintain our privilege.
The only viable & moral option is revolution.
Why are you putting this much effort to troll when bots can do it for you.
Your position benefits oligarchy.
I’m just stating facts y’all don’t like, because they’re unflattering to your preferred flavor of fascism.
I’m not going to be peer pressured into supporting either fascist party. Grow a spine.
Disagreeing with someone destroying the economy, spending trillions of tax payer dollars, and making enemies of our allies is a mental disorder? But wasting time making bullshit bills like adding to my Rushmore when it's physically impossible is normal behavior. Got it
TDS is more obsessively believing that systemic issues are specifically a Trump problem.
No TDS is opposing trump per their definition
Yeah, they’re being broad to use it as an excuse to imprison people for opposing Trump. But they didn’t coin the phrase TDS.
You are smoking crack.
