TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, is real and will explode if he wins again

I’ll admit it: The main reason I want Donald Trump to win another term as president on Tuesday is probably so I can watch progressives collapse like they did in 2016.

Nothing would be more fitting than what they have put this man through over the past eight years.

The collapse of the liberals was bad Eight years ago, this was because Trump was a big underdog who cruised to victory in the final 48 hours. They were in shock.

The University of Pennsylvania created a “breathing space” for students troubled by Trump’s victory, with coloring books and crafts, plus a puppy and cats to cuddle.

Cornell University students organized a “cry» regarding the result, with one student saying she was “pretty terrified, honestly”.

Ivies Yale, Brown and Harvard activists had demanded their universities are becoming “sanctuary” campuses for undocumented students because Trump threatened to end DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

University of Michigan Law School Hosted Post-Election Session event offering “self-care activities such as coloring sheets, playdough, and/or positive card making.”

And UCLA students overcame the 2016 “election blues” via playdates… with teddy bears.

“TDS” or “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is a real illness. I have personally seen it turn people I thought were rational and reasonable people into raving lunatics.

I didn’t lose Also many friends and relatives in 2016, apart from a few, who said things on social media like “Are you happy now? If you voted for Trump, please unfriend me immediately. (And who was I not to oblige?)

The 2020 elections, and especially the current one, have been much worse. For example, a close friend from high school and college, supposedly a Republican, recently published a lengthy article about the supposed parallels between Trump and (you guessed it) Hitler.

Damn, who touted this kind of nonsense…?

Speaking of which, while I was noting the number of anti-Israel/pro-Hamas protests on college campuses last summer during a recent family reunion, an insider managed to rally Trump to claim that the prime minister Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu is “worse than Hitler”. .”

Seriously. Of course, he could not under any circumstances justify the allegation, but I guess he felt good about himself for a few seconds.

This same family member (who had a cardboard cutout of Obama and Joe Biden outside their door during the 2012 election season) intervened during the 2016 election to declare the Republican Party’s opposition to ObamaCare “racist » – and that all Republicans are too. .

When it was pointed out to him that yours truly was a registered Republican, he hesitated for a second or two, looked me in the eye, then said, “I stand by what I said.” »

The social media timeline of a former First State teachers union bigwig, a former acquaintance who had has been a reasonable political centrist, has been filled with MSNBC-style rumors, innuendo, and outright nonsense throughout the election cycle. He repeatedly said there would be family problems for relatives who voted for Trump.

How could a man, who most people had no problems with before entering politics, make so many people completely lose their minds?

Personally, I never thought Trump would win the Republican primaries in 2016, and I initially thought his candidacy was a personal matter. I’m not a fan of this man’s personality (although I appreciate his humor, his unnecessary insulting nicknames to everyone and his omnipresent arrogance drive me crazy), but anyone with even an ounce of objectivity must admit that he has held on to something good. Politically inclined voters and the average worker have been waiting a long time: someone to call out the mainstream media and limo politicians for their constant bullshit on them.

No politician in my life (and, I would say, Never) has endured constant antagonism (including, most dangerously, the legal aspect) from Mr. Trump over the course of nearly a decade. The fact that he is in the position he will be in on Tuesday once again speaks to the disconnect from our so-called best.

But they will remain firm in their denial. And that’s why a Trump victory on Tuesday will be so deliciously sweet.
