It’s called being in a cult. MAGA is a cult of personality around Trump. Like Mao’s cult of personality. Or Hitler’s. Or any fascist dictator, really.

Been saying this for years.
The hypocritical ignoring of Trump’s behavior shows more than typical disingenuous political behavior. It is a cult of personality, based in delusional imagery and glorification.

I don’t own any Biden/Harris merchandise and if I did I wouldn’t be wearing it long after the election.
I’d laugh at anyone with a Biden tattoo just as hard as someone with a Trump one. Big difference is, I haven’t seen someone with a Biden one.

I have Trump derangement syndrome. I hate that motherfucker and am obsessive about it!

In the meantime, I find everything about him to be annoying as hell. I feel justified in that. Even his stupid emotes are annoying.

It’s actually an acronym for trump dick sucking.
And the loyalty oath they have to sign, requires them to enjoy cum on their face.

It always was. The term was originally coined to describe his supporters. Then they basically said “no you” to Democrats and the media assisted in redefining it.

Yeah they all love to screech ‘TDR!!!’ Every time he’s criticized. I think most of us now realize who’s actually deranged

Once upon a time the world’s most successful conman was elected to be the most powerful person in the world. The world came to find however, the conman and grifting was just the facade. Underneath the cheap veneer of gold and glitz dwelled evil personified. Unspeakable acts committed hand in hand with the world’s most notorious abuser of children. The conman convinced his marks that he was in fact sent by god to rid the world of said abusers and they drank this lie deeply. And now confronted with overwhelming evidence of his depravity, they circle the wagons and squeeze more tightly to the con and brew more poison. Demand justice for these children. Do not relent. There simply is nothing more imperative for our collective future than to being this devil into the light and show him for what he is.

It’s funny. I’m a leftist and my brother is MAGA. I 100% knew that he blame everything on “TDS”, so I’ve been trying very hard to only speak along the lines of dialectical materialism when I speak to him, almost to a comical level. I have never criticized Trump directly, I only critique power structure, the upper class, and material reality.
Yet still, whenever he immediately looses an argument- he defaults to TDS. So I go “when have I ever even said that man’s name too you?”
And he just goes “you keep describing him perfectly in roundabout ways”
It’s like… bro, if my systemic critique sounds like a personification of Trump to you, enough to piss you off, then you are litterally “Streisand effecting” yourself here. I make it a very solid point NOT to focus on Trump because I know TDS is all he has.

I’ve been saying this for years… Trump’s followers are the deranged ones with TDS.

This is the crux of him accusing others of what they themselves are. Its in everything he has ever said. Yeah…the migrants you mentioned in your 2015 golden escalator speech are the rapists. Not you yourself. Its the biggest con we have ever seen in America? Wall Street is a hollow shell of morality and American patriotism.

The thing that amazes me about this guy is that he can speak for hours on end but say nothing that makes any sense, yet his supporters lap it up. Before the election I used the youtube transcribe function to extract the text of what he *actually said* in his campaign speeches and the transcripts were just awful.
For example, check out this one from a Michigan rally: *”So if you had a child… let’s see. Do we have any children? If you had a child, a beautiful boy in the green shirt, if you had a… just a little child saying… and he’s not so little. He’s a big boy. He’s going to be a big one. But if you said to a child, “It doesn’t go far. It weighs too much. The payload is no good and lots of other problems, and they’re much more expensive,” he would say, “Let’s stay with diesel,” right? These guys say, “We don’t care.” Then they want to make our army tanks, you know, all electric. And the problem is they don’t go far. They’re the wrong torque. And you know where they want the battery because the battery is massive. They want you to… like you pull a wagon, a child pulls a… they want to build a wagon at the back so it pulls the battery along. So they want to be environmentally friendly as we blast our way into a country that we hate, right? We want to take on these countries and be environmentally… these people are deranged. They’re deranged people.”*

There’s a lady in my town who owns a hair salon and has a life size cardboard cutout of Trump in her shop window that she has taken pics with and posted on her shop’s Facebook page where she’s practically groping the cutout and acting like she’s taking it to prom or something…
But no it’s definitely the anti-Trump crowd that has the problem. 🙄

Yes. This is what they do. They call you the bad thing first so when they actually are that thing, it looks like you’re just copying them. They have been doing this for years.

TDS was always abusive manipulation. Trying to make you feel like the crazy one for having eyes, ears, and critical thinking skills. The danger posed even in just 2016 always deserved a normal rational human being to freak out over. TDS accusations are no different than an an abuser saying “do you hear yourself right now, you sound crazy” when the victim begin to point out their abuse and begins to snap under the pressure.
It was always an attempt to make critics sound unreasonable when they clearly saw what was coming.

It’s now known as Total Devotion Syndrome.
>But It’s Among His Supporters
Like Fetterman
If someone tells you they will fix everything on their very first day in charge and it will be very easy, and you believe them, you are deranged.
Funnily enough TDS was first used to describe GOP elites that hated Trump.
And before that there was Bush and Obama derangement syndromes…
