Trump Derangement goes beyond just not like Trump, heck I DON'T LIKE him. TDS is the absolute abandonment of logic, commonsense, any suggestion of rather thought or interest in discussing the topic. Think "if it's Trump it's bad" as the guiding principle or your ideology.I'll go back and look at it, you could be right.
Saying someone has TDS though, is an attack, period. It's claiming that the only way they could dislike Trump as president is if they are somehow flawed in their thinking. It's an attack, and it's freely used with impunity by some posters AFAIK. I realize I can't necessarily know if they get infracted, but from the sheer volume of posts by some posters using it, I HIGHLY doubt anyone has been
Sounds more like Clinton/Obama obsessive compulsive disorder. :mrgreen:Trump Derangement goes beyond just not like Trump, heck I DON'T LIKE him. TDS is the absolute abandonment of logic, commonsense, any suggestion of rather thought or interest in discussing the topic.
I really need to go back and look but IIRC I think my post was sorta "on the fence stuff" but ya know depending somone coulda called it either way. I think I've said worse and not got dinged but I did so just try not to again I suppose.
IDK that it is the same. A lot of folks are Trump fans, we hate it and can't see why they support him, we think theyre wrong. Now saying someone is a Trump cultist, now that is the same.
Well, yeah, flaming is flaming.
But it has to be directed at a user(s) to break a rule, if I understand them correctly.
I don't remember ODS ever getting to the mainstream of opinion as it has with Trump. The vile, disrespectful, obscene language thrown at Trump is lightyears ahead of anything mainline righties (notice I say MAINLINE) ever addressed at Obama."TDS" is a widespread figure of speech.
Before TDS, there was ODS. Before that BDS.
Trump has accused others of having TDS. I've accused Trump of having ODS.
Trying to get rid of such accusations as a response on a political forum would be challenging and I wouldn't take it on.

Not even close. You had to look really deep to find the class of language that mainstream lefties routinely through at Trump and those that don't totally condemn him. Most of the criticism of Obama I saw pertained to his policies and programs. As I said above I'm not say there were no personal attacks on Obama, just that they weren't so public. I certainly don't remember any off-the-hook wacko elected politicians foaming at the mouth like Maxine Waters, nor were the late night talk shows a continuous tasteless monologue of Obama's failings.Sounds more like Clinton/Obama obsessive compulsive disorder. :mrgreen:
Assigning a Derangement Syndrome to anyone means that they are deranged=insane=mad. It questions the sanity of the poster or the group.
