Sometimes I like to cruise the politics sub so I can drive by downvote libs and report them for breaking their precious civility rule, and honestly, I’ve gotten a decent amount of them banned for it, which is hilarious.

That is all

Trump Derangement Syndrome

Isn’t that a Trump meme or what?

I’ve kinda gone back and forth on whether or not it’s a useful term.

They invented it but what else do you call it when the front page of r/politics has been half a dozen articles about how Trump is 48 hours away from a jail cell for 6 years.

Blue MAGA is absolutely a thing.

I don’t know about that; blue MAGA doesn’t actively oppress my trans comrades like red MAGA does…

I can see where you’re coming from. I probably wouldn’t say it outside of hexbear. The explanation of how I’m not a right wing nutjob would eclipse the usefulness of the word. And really, it’s probably not worth engaging with people that “have TDS” because you will go nowhere. They have every thought terminating cliche you can think of at the ready.

Chuds do use it. But it’s a valid observation, libs tunnel vision on Trump to a huge degree. On the other hand, chuds usually suffer Trans Derangement Syndrome where they’re so tunnel visioned on their transphobia they’d vote for politicians who hate them (see: Catholic Latines voting for republicans).

It’s probably worth pointing out that chuds virtually never use it for valid observations, even when they’re talking about people who genuinely are hyperfocused on Trump. When I see it used in Fox News comments, it’s a near-meaningless term for all Trump criticism

There’s a couple of things CHUDs are right about. TDS and you shouldn’t trust the media. The last one is for different reasons, but whatchagonnado?
