"How dare you notice my fascism! You're mentally ill!" gaslighting at its finest and classifying something doesn't make it true.

Guys, just steal this and use it to describe deranged Trump idiots. The right wing steals useful words like "fake news" and "groomer" and alters their meanings for political purposes all of the time. This one should be a layup because without reading into it everyone already thinks it's the condition those everyday July 4th cosplay, big truck with tattered flags morons have.

Funny thing is that's how I read it...

[–] Spzi@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Confirmed. At first I was confused about the comments. Good idea, an obvious opportunity!

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.

When they're literally deranged by Taylor Swift and Barbie movies...

[–] limelight79@lemm.ee 27 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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 25 points 3 days ago (2 children)

its not about arrogance.

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

I seem to clearly remember a story from the Bible about this, but perhaps they've simply skipped that part during their reading?

This will not pass in Minnesota. What a stupid bit of grandstanding and waste of taxpayer money.

[–] LanguageIsCool 46 points 3 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Zahille7 23 points 3 days ago

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.

Maybe if your cult obsession with Trump is to the point where you propose bills like this you might be mentally ill for real.

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 88 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

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?

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

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

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.

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

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 29 points 4 days 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.
