It’s a good essay, but I’m not sure there was TDS-like hatred in the past. The modern Democrats and their buddies in the media have said that Trump is Hitler and a “threat to ‘our’ democracy” to the point that I think they actually believe it.
It's both about Trump AND how effective he is.

Actually it was.
How quickly "we" (some of us, anyway) forget.
The term "XXXXX Derangement Syndrome" was coined on FR when George W. Bush was President.
Remember this?

 Some people on FR might actually agree with that ... the groupthink around here has certainly changed in the last 20 years.
I agree there was hatred and a pre type TDS hatred in the past.
That said, the degree of lunacy has increased with the woke, gay, and trans, idiocy.
The TDSism has become very violent and the people severely infected are much more dangerous than in the past. You can see it in the looks and demeanor of many of the dangerous ones.
Extreme hate has become fanatical obsessed hate. I believe the internet has been a great tool to indoctrinate and spread the hate. These people are really mentally deranged now. They have lost any shred of a conscience.
