From Justice101's source, The Urban Dictionary...

Trump Delusional Syndrome: "When someone is so blindly supportive of lying politicians like Donald Trump that anything they do is automatically good or part of some greater plan no matter how bad it is or how often he lies about it or changes his position on it. They can no longer tell right from wrong, fact from fiction or puppet from patriot. Eventually they become so delusional they say things that are totally deranged".

Isn’t lumping everybody under a label, who doesn’t think like you, a form of r****m?

Possibly, within a stretch of reasoning. But, I responded to a request for the definition from an earlier post...very
similar to what I did previously with Justice101. And, I did so using Justice's source of research.

How about you ? Have you seen it ?

That is a closer and more accurate description of Biden's lying by far.
Now, do you care to post something about mentally deranged?
Biden wins hands down.

TDS
Short for Trump Derangement Syndrome.
A common but casual (not medically recognized in DSM) mental affliction.

DSM

Urban Dictionary is a crowdsourced online dictionary for slang words and phrases, operating under the motto "Define Your World."[1] The website was founded in 1999 by Aaron Peckham. Originally, Urban Dictionary was intended as a dictionary of slang or cultural words and phrases, not typically found in standard dictionaries, but it is now used to define any word, event, or phrase (including sexually explicit content). Words or phrases on Urban Dictionary may have multiple definitions, usage examples, and tags. As of 2014, the dictionary had over seven million definitions, while around 2,000 new entries were being added daily.

THAT wasn't MY URBAN DICTIONARY DEFINITION EXAMPLE FOR TDS-TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME-THAT WAS YOUR URBAN DICTIONARY DEFINITION!!!

Do you need me to show you the actual post- you're such a bs artist.

You have YOUR Urban Dictionary definition and I have the more commonly used and accepted definition. Left-brain people are amusing especially when they think that twisting someone else's word's or meaning will make them seem more credible.

I offer the following to explain my stating your use of The Urban Dictionary as your source for TDS...

You presented a truly creative mendacity. It displays the dishonesty you display for stealing the true definition of the acronym: Trump Derangement Syndrome or TDS.

Urban Dictionary offers up this handy definition: “Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason.”

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or stages:

“In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect’s every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world.”
“The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim’s vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of hyperbole.”
“As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality.”

I believe that your symptoms coincide with the apparent lack of ability to distinguish fantasy from reality
and t***h from fiction!


Your post, Justice. Not mine. Apparently confusion, not clarity, reigns in your world. It seems "eloquence of verbiage" is out of your reach.

Again, my favorite definition of the acronym TDS: "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a satirical psychological diagnosis used to explain the hysterical reaction and belligerent behavior of people, directed towards anything related to President Donald Trump (pro or con) as pertaining to his life or presidency. It isn't intended to be a logical argument, rather a jab at another individual's excessive emotional reactions as well as aggressive physical displays. It is an ad hominem argument, not a strawman argument as suggested by other definitions".

BTW, for your personal edification: https://www.slanglang.net/slang/trump-derangement-syndrome/ ("the phrase was first defined on Urban Dictionary in 2017")

Psychology Today excerpt: "Mental illnesses are officially classified in a dense and dry book published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) known as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). This book contains 947 pages and lists hundreds of mental disorders; TDS is nowhere to be seen. Similarly, a review of scholarly databases such as MEDLINE and Google Scholar reveal no academic papers on this alleged syndrome. Officially at least, TDS is not a real, diagnosable, or treatable mental disorder". .

You fail to list ALL of my urls defending MY urban definition (selective editing), therefore, you are just showing that you are another L*****t hack. Honesty is definitely not your best trait trying to portray me as someone that I'm not.

Really I offer you evidence contradicting your nonsense, even pointing to the original definition of TDS by The Urban Dictionary. As I've already admitted that TDS is viewed in many various ways according to ones beliefs, I would not attack your URLs. They only list alternate definitions that fit your personal narratives. So, you are exactly as you portray yourself - a rightist hack. It is you that lives in a world of fantasy/make believe while remaining in a stunning denial of reality.

Below is yet another article that rejects TDS as a recognized medical/mental condition, & more statements as to what TDS is or is not...

Again: Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a satirical psychological diagnosis used to explain the hysterical reaction and belligerent behavior of people, pro or con, generally directed towards anything related to President Donald Trump as pertaining to his presidency. It isn't intended to be a logical argument, rather a jab at another individual's excessive emotional reactions as well as aggressive physical displays. It is an ad hominem argument, not a strawman argument as suggested by definition...and, there are numerous variations on TDS, all of which have their own particular partisan/ideological twist.

TDS was originally a made-up condition, conceived as an insult label by the alt-right to attack anyone who criticizes or refuses to support Donald Trump...the idea being the left is so obsessed with Trump they have collectively lost their minds. Like many of their other little online crusades, this one has backfired. People dislike Trump for actual reasons which often go well beyond just politics or partisanship, and if anyone has Trump Derangement Syndrome it's those on the right that blindly support him. They have lost their sense of morality, religious convictions, principles, objectivity, all discernment, and even the ability to have a civil discussion or reason. So the term has now been co-opted by others to refer to Trump supporters who are blinded by their unrealistic devotion to Trump.

The origin of the term 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' is traced to political columnist and conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer, a psychiatrist, who originally coined the phrase 'Bush derangement syndrome' in 2003 during the presidency of George W. Bush. That syndrome was defined by Krauthammer as "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency – nay – the very existence of George W. Bush." The first use of the term 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' may have been by Esther Goldberg in an August 2015 op-ed in The American Spectator; She applied the term to "Ruling Class Republicans" who are dismissive or contemptuous of Trump. Krauthammer, himself a harsh critic of Trump, later defined "Trump derangement syndrome" as a Trump-induced "general hysteria" among the chattering classes, producing an "inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and ... signs of psychic pathology" in the President's behavior.

Yes, different people have their own take on TDS and how it's used in the context of the conversation. Many people have strong feelings regarding DJT on both sides of the political spectrum.
Wh**ever floats your boat Slatten.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)"
So many angles from the Left and Right.
TDS, therefore just muddies the water for understanding reality, or getting to the tryth, what ever that mat be.
