Congratulations...you're the last to discover the perfectly obvious...as usual.

DUh, fuckwit and that is why people are criticising him on the thread dipshit.

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.

You might try thinking!

No it is lack of critical thinking and education.

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.

You are not qualified to understand TDS, in the same way that a schizophrenic cannot have adequate insights into his own pathology.

It is becoming increasingly illegal to oppose The One Party.

TDS serves The One Party.

“You saw from the demonic speech that Biden gave in Philadelphia that this is a dying regime. That was a primal scream. And here what they’re trying to do, no matter who it is whether Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. There were 35 FBI raids last night. Right. And there’s another grand jury coming together on January 6th, the Washington Post reported it. THIRTY-FIVE Senior Members of MAGA! of Republicans, supporters of Donald Trump that the FBI rolled in on. When they didn’t need to do it. Right? All these people have lawyers. The jack-booted Gestapo has to show up at their door and make a big display of this.”
- Steve Bannon, Trump associate, 9-9-22.

Trump is not the cause of TDS.

This begins your journey of self-discovery, for the cause is in you.

No it is lack of critical thinking and education.

Feedback that agrees:
The cause of TDS is inherent as a potentiality in everyone and applicable to more than Trump. In adults capable of functioning in society without supervision, TDS is activated from potentiality to manifestation, via ignorance caused by secondary conditions such as lack of education and its effects.

Words without meaning. DId you use the post-modern bullshit generator to write that or are you genuinely idiotic?

I can't imagine having to take responsibility for that sentence.

That's the Steve Bannon who got all you trump adoring idiots to send him millions of dollars to build some wall, and then gave himself millions of dollars of your money.

How much money did you send to Trump and his allies over the last 5 years Walker?

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.

You're too kind. But thanks.

However, I'm not leaving the whole conversation: I'm just foregoing the "pleasure" of responding to Sculpy, for very obvious reasons.

Walker wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 8:49 am Trump is not the cause of TDS

Well, let's just say this...

If Trump is a specially "deplorable" person, then it's not at all clear that that fact is responsible for the degree of venom directed against him -- and the degree of moral outrage NOT levelled against his much-worse rivals. I suspect that it's not Trump, but anybody who was in Trump's position -- say if DeSantis or somebody were to be the next candidate -- that occasions what commonsense himself has identified as the "irrational" and "emotional" rage of the Left. I mean, maybe there's something specially aggravating about Trump, but if there is, nobody here so far has been able to identify a single metric in which he exceeds Clinton or Biden et al in veniality, corruption, racism, sexual rapaciousness, dishonesty, or anything else to which the Left constantly tries to use to demonize him. And it's not just that he's a Republican, because they were nowhere near so wildly angry at Bush or Reagan.

So I'm mystified. For all his plausible faults, nothing explains the blind, foaming rage the Left is expressing. And it seems they cannot even, themselves, tell you what is making them do what they do.

I'm reminded of an analogy coined by one, Dr. Jordan Peterson, who calls their behaviour "ideological possession" -- obviously with a direct allusion to demonic possession, in that it is a case of absolute rage being driven by forces that the sufferers do not comprehend.

So it gets labelled "TDS," because there's no rational diagnosis for it. And I'd like a more accurate label, if I could get one. But the sufferers will not self-examine, so making a better, more telling diagnosis becomes very difficult.

Meanwhile, people like Flash and Sculpy continue to exhibit all the symptoms, and only commonsense seems to have some little window of self-awareness as to what is really motivating the antipathy. But even he shuts down whenever conversation approaches any other explanation than "Orange Man bad, must to hate." So I don't think anybody's going to reveal what's really going on here, maybe because they don't know, maybe because their overwhelming goal of insulting the guy keeps washing away all their abilities at introspection.

One thing for sure is left evident: whatever TDS is, it's pointing to some actual phenomenon. And something like "derangement" is involved. There's just no proportionality to it. And the experiencers seem unable to evaluate their own situation or measure their own behavior.

... the degree of venom directed against him ...

You and Walker keep making this kind of assertion, but you haven't yet provided any substance, Manny. How are you measuring the degree of venom you are seeing?

I believe you are confused: there's a lot of trenchant opposition to Trump and his supporters, but opposition is not venom.

Well, the substance has abundantly been provided by others, who vituperate against Trump wildly, on all kinds of accounts, but on the matter of Biden and Clinton are not anything near so graphic and verbose, often not having bothered to mention their predations, corruptions, racist remarks or incompetence at all. The unbalanced proportions of their response are manifest to all; and no more obvious proof could be furnished.
