Trump derangement syndrome

trumpophobia & Trump monomania + pathologically blaming of Trump for all problems + paranoia + chronic anxiety disorder + bizarre delusions (victimization, oppression, persecution) + hysterical hatred/rage/self-pity + chronic pathological obsessions (victimization, oppression, persecution) + pathological hypersensitivity + pathological irrationality + reduced impulse control + loss of ability to reason + chronic pathological lying and manipulation + over-reactivity + projection of their own insanities onto Trump + general chronic depravity

Otherwise known as hatred.

A condition that evolved in humans because it was helpful in winning wars.

So, 70,000 “mental health” authorities declare Trump insane and incompetent to hold office based only on biased second and third and fourth hand news reports, but - because Trump Derangement Syndrome is not in their official book of legally insane diagnosis BY a mental health diahnoser, Trump Derangement Syndrome Indies not exist.

Excellent.

AND the press is not pushing the American Psychological Association to 'comment' on Trump Derangement Syndrome.

This is exactly the point. The psychiatrists are plagued by TDS just as much as their lefty clients.

So without therapy, what can we do with these Zombie Apocalypse TDS gorillas?

70,000 people commit an act that is specifically defined as unprofessional by that profession. And they claim to be professionals of that profession?

“Then they can regain their sanity.”

Conservatives don’t lose their mind when confronted with Leftist idiocy. Their reasoning usually remains based in rational deductions

Leftists lose their minds because their beliefs are flawed in the first place.

They can regain their sanity when they challenge themselves to practice rational thought not swim in emotional based drivel.

Jonathan Haidt in “The Coddling of the American Mind” discusses how colleges (and K-12 schools to a lesser degree) teach mentally ill health patterns.

They teach kids to engage in projection. If they say something you could interpret wrong, assume ill intent and that they hate you. Never mind liberals are increasing diversity that increases the odds of faux pas.

Teach kids to catastrophize. That every little micro-aggression is equal to a real aggression, that an insult is equal to being beaten up. It creates fear and hatred, stress and social division.

Protect them from every failure or challenge. Then they think they can’t handle it, because you didn’t let them lose a soccer game or teach them how to recover from a breakup. As adults, they face rejection and failure all the time. You didn’t get the job or the date. They see the one or two failures as proof and fail to launch, chronically anxious and depressed. Haidt calls it taught fragility.

Now combine it with the systematic fearmongering for political purposes. Hate whites, they’re oppressing you. Hate men, they’re oppressing you. Hate older adults including your parents, they’re selfishly killing you.

A third of parents (32%) also thought their children were anxious about global warming and climate

change.

Swedish schoolgirl who refused to take part in one of campaigner Greta Thunberg’s ‘climate strikes’ is ‘bullied by her own teacher’ and labelled a ‘climate denier’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7062517/Swedish-girl-bullied-not-participating-Greta-Thunberg-climate-strike.html

It is a deliberate co-opting of Islam’s memes. Hate the unbeliever so you won’t ever listen to what they say. Equate their speech with violence so you’re permitted to beat and kill the infidel who utters hate speech/blasphemy in public.

The author knows it’s real but doesn’t want to confirm it in print. ‘More research needs to be done’.

I believe in TDS, there was also BDS (Bush), and if I have to be honest, on the right, there was CDS and ODS. Some people just take their politics too seriously. Especially liberals.
