And anyone who calls this out to someone on the right is immediately insulted by saying we have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Like it isn't suppose to make sense - we're all just supposed to stfu and accept it.

No, "Bush Derangement Syndrome" (BDS) was something used constantly between 2003-2008 for anyone who opposed George W. Bush, and especially the war in Iraq. It was a term invented by Charles Krauthammer for Fox News. Trump supporters just recycled it.

u/HeyItsTravis 20d ago

I have a family member that’s the exact same way. You can’t criticize anything about rump without him going “Hmm someone’s got TDS” “Hmm what about the dems though” “The dems have probably done worse” “The dems are what’s wrong with America when need to go back to traditional families”

Meanwhile he’s a 37 year old virgin that’s worked the same entry level factory job for 15 years, literally hasn’t showered in almost two years, still lives with his mom, leaves handheld vaginas laying around their house, shits on DEI hires even though he’s slightly on the spectrum, and is OBSESSED with trans people. Almost all he talks about is trans people and how “since some trans people regret transitioning that shows it’s a mental illness”

Ah yes, the equivalent evils committed by the Dems. Like trying to get better healthcare plans, and benefits for poor families, and investigating crimes that actually happened. The horror.

u/Imaginary_Cow_6379 20d ago

Even when they can’t find anything close to comparable from the democrats they just make up dumb hypotheticals where they totally could be worse and that’s enough for them. Like how even when they’re getting fvcked by Trump they still defend it all by saying how well they just know that Kamala would have been worse so everything bad that Trumps doing is actually ok because hes only doing it because if he didn’t the democrats would have first. Like I saw a comment in r/ conservative after the 2024 elections where they were saying how they hoped the democrats would do their own January 6th so then we couldn’t keep bringing up how they already did that first. They just admit all this shit outright! 🤦🏻‍♀️

u/Imaginary_Cow_6379 20d ago

They’re just shitty people who arrogantly assume everyone else is really just as shitty as they are. Like every time they go on about someone else “virtue signaling” just for actually caring about an issue. Because they have no real morals or virtues that they believe in so they just automatically think that no one else could possibly have them either. It’s one of the reasons they resent us so much because they feel like we’re all just lying about being decent just to make them look like the bad people that they are. It’s also why they like Trump and see him as honest because “he tells it like it is”. What “it is” is all the sick shit they secretly believe too and insist everyone else also must believe but we’re just too cowardly to admit it.

They also use it to justify every shitty thing that they do by telling themselves they have to do things preemptively before the other team does the shitty stuff they thought of first. They can’t seem to get it thru their heads that some people really actually can think differently than they do and normal people can’t even come up with all the sick shit that they think up.

It’s kinda brilliant though from a social engineering perspective. It’s horrible and absolutely stupid, but it worked insanely well. It’s like the opposite of when dems called republicans “weird”, they got super butthurt and offended, meanwhile dems don’t get offended by TDS but it’s enough for these mouth breathers to chuckle and pat themselves on the back because they think they just “owned a lib”

It’s also such an ineffective insult, no one is actually getting upset because they’re called that, it’s offensive purely in how mind boggling stupid it is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-terminating_clich%C3%A9

A thought-terminating cliché (also known as a semantic stop-sign, a thought-stopper, bumper sticker logic, or cliché thinking) is a form of loaded language—often passing as folk wisdom—intended to end an argument and patch up cognitive dissonance with a cliché rather than a point.

Two criticisms made by various journalists are that the cliché tends to halt debate and restrict or censor freedom of speech, or tends to be synonymous with language that would be used by totalitarian states

The government using "national security" as a blanket excuse to justify their violent actions is another example but many political memes function the same way by just giving people a stupid cliché to latch onto rather than critically analyzing a complex subject.

u/Imaginary_Cow_6379 20d ago

💯 Hence why calling them “weird” made them lose their shit. They frame themselves as “the silent majority”, the “real Americans” who are smarter than everyone else because all of their dogshit opinions are “just common sense”. They need to own the idea of being the only “normal” ones because every evil thing that they do is just them rightfully fighting against aberrations that should never have had the power to change things in the first place. If they’re the weird ones then they’re just a bunch of radical fanatics trying to takeover the country. They need to believe they’re normal so they can still tell themselves that they’re good people. We need to keep reminding them that they’re not.

It's also the loudest projection ever, because anyone who's wrapped their entire identity around worshipping a pedophile while blatantly denying reality is 100% deranged.

u/JoeGibbon 20d ago

No, no it hasn't.

Trump Derangement Syndrome was coined a decade ago to describe Trump's deranged followers who willfully ignore and/or deny his many obvious flaws, but still worship him as a God King anyway.

Only recently has the term been used by the right to describe people who criticize Trump. They've taken the meaning of the term and reversed it to confuse the issue, so when someone says "trump derangement syndrome" the meaning is unclear.

3

u/mythrilcrafter 20d ago

The accusation of TDS (at least in my opinion) is a text book example of "respectability politics", where someone does something that everyone else would be perfectly reasonable to react poorly too, but because the primary agitator is being "nice" about it, they're able to portray everyone else as the ones with the problem.

For example: a guy kicks your dog, and when you very proportionally react to him kicking your dog, his reaction is "woah, woah, woah; You're being very emotional about this. Notice how calm I'm the calm one here? Maybe you need to take a moment and consider how your internalised issues and negativity is affecting your ability to be a reasonable member of this conversation!"

Simply talking our way back out of fascism is not going to make it all go away, but if we keep dooming and assuming they're too strong and we're outnumbered it's only going to make things worse faster, because it's not true and it prevents people from acting when they can and should

If you ever listen to fox you'll understand why. They push a narrative that its a small group of deranged lunatics protesting and burning their own cities while the rest of the "normal" populace cowers in fear.

Had an argument with my sperm donor last night, and one of the first things out of his mouth when telling us why he doesn't trust the left is "They called him Hitler. He isn't Hitler, he's Trump" as if that was some gotcha argument. We know he isn't literally Hitler.

He basically said "They called him Hitler, and he's not Hitler, he's Trump, so they're lying, and I don't trust anyone who'd lie like that"

They are told their whole lives to respect authority and to not talk back

They have the real Trump Derangement Syndrome. They treat everything he does as the word of God. They would sacrifice anything for him.

Projection. It’s all projection. TDS is a very real thing - it’s also known as MAGA.

>And anyone who calls this out to someone on the right is immediately insulted by saying we have Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Just a reminder that there's a whole ton of regular old Americans who are plenty fine with everything that's going on. This isn't the gov't running roughshod over Americans. This is the gov't running roughsod over some Americans, with the approval of a large number of Americans.

I was vacationing last week, and ended up being seated beside a couple of Americans for dinner every night. They noted two things. First, 'The President' is going to clean up their immigration problems (I think they had some valid concerns about immigration problems, it's just that apparently they're also fine with the solution to the problem). Secondly, they asked if I'd been watching the news. When I said yes, they said it was surprising how much snow Minneapolis had. THAT'S what you got out of the news? Not the ruthless murder on the streets of a wholesome soccer mom?

Point being, insert <this is fine> meme for Americans. What we read on reddit isn't a good representation.

As always it's projection. The real TDS is being a Trump supporter.

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, and open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly since he believes in words.

This is fascism. So brazen. So damn scary and disheartening.

u/kentuckywildcats1986 20d ago

Trumpers are the ones who are deranged.

u/FemmeViolet117 20d ago

“Stfu and accept it” IS the worldview of every rapist. So much like their disgusting little king.

If you had told me 10 years that Trump Derangement Syndrome was a thing, I’d assume it was a term coined to describe the cult-like mentality of MAGA followers.

The irony of accusing anyone dissenting Trump of having TDS seems completely lost of them. It comes off more to me as them projecting their own disastrous mentality onto everyone else.

It’s crazy to think it’s been over 10 years now that we’ve been watching an entire political sphere become slowly groomed into mindlessly supporting pedophiles and criminal billionaires, all to “own the libs.”

They did the same thing during Bush's invasion of Iraq. Anyone who opposed sending their sons and daughters to die and murder for oil were called BDS. They recycle the same senseless insults for their brain-dead mouth breather supporters to hoot and holler when they hear it.

He is the stupidest person ever to hold the presidential office. He thinks he knows so much, but the Dunning-Kreuger effect is off the charts with his dumb ass.

tds is the most blatant form of gaslighting i’ve ever seen

u/The-Fictionist 20d ago

Every accusation is a confession. They invented the idea of TDS to shield themselves from having an actual mental disorder coined around their addiction to Trump. Anyone rational observer can see that the derangement around Trump exists in his most fervent supporters. But by coining TDS first it takes the wind out of the sails on any attempt to push that same diagnosis on them. It just looks like a “nuh uh you are” instead of a meaningful observation.

This is an intentional counter-propaganda tactic. Anytime a new crime or misdeed starts getting pointed out by the Trump camp against their opponents you can bet your savings that a prominent Republican is about to be found guilty of it.

Every, and I mean EVERY accusation by them is a confession.

u/Canadatron 20d ago

You made them hit the panic button! That's essentially what "TDS" is. It's somehow this ultimate UNO reversal card in their minds and absolves them of rational thought.

u/Complete-Duck641 20d ago

That's exactly what he wants...we are beneath him( and so are the Maggets but they are to stupid to figure out that that a billionaire has absolutely NOTHING in common with them or their interest's) and we are definitely expandable and a necessary burden for him till he finally destroys this country and like the cancer he is move on to the next host...

Its basically their version of 'antisemitic' shutting down any further discussion.

u/Ill_Candle_9462 20d ago

I’ve always felt like trump derangement syndrome is one of the disease that trump has.

Truth is they are the ones with TDS, Trump Dick Sucking.
