The only kind of derangement syndromes that ever made any sense as terms are these: Clinton Derangement Syndrome, Carter Derangement Syndrome (some of the really old fucks spent a lot of their time grumbling about FDR, even), California Derangement Syndrome, and biggest of all: Obama Derangement Syndrome.
The right lost their freaking minds over Obama. They were always a bubbling cauldron of shit, but things got real unhinged when Obama was elected.
When the right talks about "TDS", they are just so full of total shit. Noticing the crimes and incompetence and idiocy and character flaws and the health decline of Donvict is not a goddamned "syndrome" it's someone talking about reality.
Anyone that talked about "long form birth certificates" at length for eight fucking years and beyond loses any right to talk about anyone else having a syndrome, LOL.
TDS exists. Everyone on the right seems to be affected by it.
Oh, absolutely that form of it does. Derangement is a great descriptor of a cult.
The ones that baffle me are those who go on a tirade of things they hate about Trump, and then say that they’ll be really annoyed when they vote for him next time. They’d never change their vote, just scowl and complain
It's always projection. Always.
