Supposedly, you did. Out of curiosity, which four words did you select to read

The mantra for today's GOP'ers: “In a word, I was too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I had been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong.”

Good morning, Walter. Thanks for your sincere concerns, but I suggest that it is you infected with TDS, as explained by the following...

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 to them.

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.

And, oh, BTW: Fullspinzoo's thread and this response inspired me to post it as a thread of its own. Enjoy.
Good morning, Walter. Thanks for your sincere conc... (show quote)


Thanks for the exposition of what you, slatten49, an esteemed member of the elite class, thinks of what TDS means. We'd all be lost without your insightful wisdom.
As a regular ol' Joe, I just went and googled TDS and it immediately came up in their Urban Dictionary definition:
"Trump Derangement Syndrome:
Unhappiness caused by the election of Donald Trump to the Presidency of the United States. Sufferers display an inordinate loathing for and preoccupation with Donald Trump. The grief and distress they suffer is real."
I like being a regular ol' Joe rather than a look-down-my-nose-at-you snob. So keep your psychologist/psychiatrist definition of TDS. Too stuffy for me. I prefer the Google Urban Dictionary definition.
And in the interest of spreading harmony throughout, my advice for people suffering from TDS, as defined by Google Urban Dictionary, still applies. The cure is simple.

In Slats defense, I think he might have been projecting TDS over to the Right.

And that was brought on by his authentic TDS.

So when Obama covered for his wingman Holder by executive privilege for contempt of Congress.

You're saying Obama broke the law, or laws do not apply where the leftist deity Hanuman is concerned.?..Which or both?


He didn't cover for him, they held him in contempt, penalty zip...nada. If you thought that was wrong then you think this is wrong now, so weigh in as far as saying this is not okay instead of an Obama did it so what if trump does it tenfold worse.

Nice, but limited research, Walter. So, let's showcase all of the urban dictionary's definitions of TDS:

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Trump%20Derangement%20Syndrome

Or, better yet...

https://www.bing.com/search?q=trumpderangementsyndromeurbandictionary&form=EDGEAR&qs=PF&cvid=6ca560c73cf64601a052cb4c0d0c95bd&cc=US&setlang=en-US&elv=AY3%21uAY7tbNNZGZ2yiGNjfOoX1KJEe4ejgojQqmaBfq8DfOu40Etn%21%21VMzNZGJOZy4eoXc%212C2o9tPQSUdxL4qgpHGBSbMknsKASFvDXHIU1&plvar=0&PC=HCTS

And, since you chose to overlook the first and third paragraphs of my previous post...read 'em again and learn something factual....or, can't you handle the truth

But, Walt, you don't seem capable of handling the truth...even if it comes from a conservative spokesman like Krauthammer and Esther Goldberg from The American Spectator. Sad, really sad.

My friend, if you had read my earlier post on TDS, you would realize that the term originated from the conservative right to describe true conservatives who did not trust or care for Trump.

Wikipedia says the derangement syndrome was coined by Charles Krauthammer in 2003 with his Bush Derangement Syndrome analysis.

Your article accurately places the beginning of the TDS by the ruling class Republican swamp creatures.

But it is now (by popular vote )more trendy to apply this derangement virus to people on the left who are consumed with the duly elected Donald Trump.
"check please!"

Not so fast, my friend.

It is likely more "trendy" because there are more on the right who actually have the described TDS.

But, along with others, a nice attempt at deflection.

Back at ya', Byronglish. You have always shown civility and respect towards me, thus it is indeed a pleasure to engage in friendly jousts with you...as have many others who often disagree with me. IMO, friendly and honest discourse should be the intended purpose of OPP.

I try to hold back but...sometimes.

I come from a huge family of genuine hillbillies.

Lots front porch arguing, yelling, teasing, accusing, but the next day (most of the time) all was forgotten until the next time.

Those are some of my fondest memories.
