So why don’t you start another thread about Biden and see what happens?
Because I'm talking to you. I'm offering you an opportunity to assess your own motives honestly, reflecting on what is really motivating you. It's a gift, even if you don't know it is.

But you can take it, or pass on it. That's the nature of gifts.
You’re bonkers.
So...no answer. Just an ad hominem...

Well, TDS is alive and well, I guess. Maybe nobody who has it knows why they do.

From the link:

"The ELFs fail to see how they have been propagandized. They read the New York Times and other establishment media, thinking them gospel. Those ELFs less keen on reading rely on media outlets even more biased than the Times. As to friends and family who offer alternative points of view, there is the knee-jerk fallback, "Where did you hear that? Fox News?" ELFs don't want to know about the border crisis or the recession or Hunter's laptop, and their media oblige them. If their social media allow alternative voices to bleed through, the ELFs are the first to demand that those voices be silenced."

I think he's gonna keep on passing, dodging, weaving and bobbing.

I think there are probably more ELF-men than folks realize. This recent link explains what an ELF is, and reasons for the ELF’s stunted political awareness.

I can’t be more clear. The bobbing you perceive is the result of your false attributions to me. I don’t like Trump the man, but hate is something elicited by your annoying comments. I don’t like politicians, Clinton and Biden included, but hate is only in my vocabulary out of exasperation.

Don't infer what I have not implied.
Not so much implied as explicitly stated.

Naw. You were foaming from the word "go." He was "dirty" right out of the blocks, and then after that, homophobic, racist, etc. All those were your terms, freely offered.
I don’t like politicians, Clinton and Biden included,
I'm sorry -- I can't believe that. You had nothing like the animus against them that you had against Trump, though they are manifestly even more deserving of your ire.
...but hate is only in my vocabulary out of exasperation.
Finally, an interesting lead.

What is making you "exasperated?" (And don't say, "you," because you got started from the get-go, and never needed me, in order to start hating Trump.) Why is he so "exasperating," when Biden and Clinton are not?

From the ELF link:
The danger that ELFs pose to constitutional government became all too evident in the Black Swan year of 2020. With the onset of COVID, ELFs quickly found themselves in the grip of what Belgian psychologist Dr. Mattias Desmet calls "mass formation psychosis." Writes Desmet in his surprise bestseller, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, "It is, in essence. a kind of group hypnosis that destroys individuals' ethical self-awareness and robs them of their ability to think critically."

Devoid of ethical self-awareness, it was the ELFs that emerged as our "Karens." What made them truly annoying was their belief, given their education, that they knew more than the people they were hectoring. They didn't. If proof were needed, a study of 35,000 U.S. adults by Franklin Templeton-Gallup revealed that a shocking 41 percent of Democrats believed that 50 percent or more of those who contracted COVID ended up in the hospital. The correct answer was 1–5 percent.
Commentary:

There very well could be a direct correlation between ELF’s and TDSers, given that TDS is based on a combination of complacency and trust in Big Brother government.

It is possible that TDSers think that the presidency is a figure-head … much like the queen was a figurehead.

Therefore, as just a figurehead the most important thing for a president is a jolly good show. Not a verb out of place, not a crease out of place. Well-mannered, a feather in the cap of democracy. Style.

And look at the head on Trump. Some style.

That would explain why a businessman commoner with such crass mannerisms in the role of Presidential Figure-head is so distasteful, so gauche and unworthy of leadership, don’t you know. Tut tut.

The visceral hatred of Trump exhibited by TDSers ain't got nothing to do with geopolitical or domestic policy ... who's kidding themselves about that. :lol:

No. It's a legitimate question.

Why hate Trump, but have no concern about rivals who do everything worse?
Strawman
Evasion.
Yes you are evading.
This is a thread ABOUT Trump you fucking moron.

Well, how can I compete with your wit and eloquence? I reluctantly bow out of this intellectual conversation, in sheer awe of your greater spirit and overwhelming intellect.

It's important at this point to remember that IC is not any sort of fan or supporter of Trump, far from it, he's an entirely neutral observer who just likes to examine the whole of the truth entirely impartially.

When Trump is on the stand claiming his long history of prescription drug abuse explains why he suddenly can't rememeber whether or not he showed Israeli nuclear secrets to the Saudis at Mar-a-Lago two weeks before they invested billions into his son in law's underperforming real estate investment fund, mister Can will not have to wonder in his deepest recesses why he was taken in by such an obvious crook, because he was completely never a supporter.

Actually, the topic is about Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), and btw, your mouth befouling sharp, incisive questioning by IC makes you sound like an ignorant moron.

Trump is not to blame for TDS. The morons who hate Trump without any good reason are the cause of TDS.

The Left’s political weaponizing of federal agencies to baselessly attack Trump with years of bogus investigations is an actionable element of TDS. It is of much greater significance than public ignorance that follows the herd which is led by the evil shepherd of propagandizing media, and lapped up by folks who mistake brain farts of lying opinions for valid authoritative evidence to properly evaluate the executive branch and its legitimate purposes in government.

The weaponizing of federal agencies is concentrated in one party. The Party. Democrats. Brandon as president is the de facto head of The Party. Therefore, the corruption by the Brandon crime family, and the public ignorance that supports it, are elements of TDS.

The objective of The Party is one party rule. This is also an element of TDS, and why the presence of Trump on the political landscape is to be fought by The Party by any means necessary, and lies top that menu of tactics.

Well done. The ignorance that fuels TDS has been further spotlighted, examined, and found to be starved of rationality thanks to your clear thinking. You have elevated consciousness of the topic. Much appreciation.
