Trump Derangement Syndrome. Not liking Trump or his policies is one thing but people with "TDS" make him a central part of their identity and constantly look for ways to work their hatred of him into every situation.

What do you call people who make Trump a central part of their identity and constantly look for ways to work their hatred of Biden/Democrats in to every situation?

It's an acronym used by right-wing extremists to describe anyone who disagreed with Trump on his nationalist agenda. Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Is BDS a thing yet? I've never considered the current occupant of the hot seat to be particularly controversial, but based on the volume of FJB and LGB comments, maybe TDS/BDS are expected mirror images with a similar root cause.

> used by right-wing extremists

You characterize anyone who uses the phrase "Trump Derangement Syndrome" / "TDS" as an extremist? I suppose most of my friends and family are extremists then, under your definition?

When you use language like this, it dilutes the meaning of the words.

Somewhere around half of the country generally vote for the "right". A significant portion of those folks have use the TDS phrase, to point out an observable phenomenon, of certain high profile people acting in abnormal ways when reacting to Trump.

You are labeling these people "extremists"?

How would you characterize militant racist militias that are (in relatively small numbers) scattered across the country?

Would you lump these people all together under the "extremist" banner?

Or maybe there's a less inflammatory approach?

I've yet to hear a person use that term who couldn't be described in that manner. When considering the full breadth of modern Western thought, please describe for me how the people who use that language don't fall on the extreme end of the political spectrum. I never used the word "militant." I used the word extremist. The term fits.

Yes, people generally have a strong reaction when talking about the sort of low-quality human being that Trump proved to be. That's not a "derangement syndrome." That's called having a sense of humanity and self-awareness.

Nah it’s simple derangement. Anyway I’m glad we can dehumanize our political opponents freely. It took a lot of doing but the other side is no longer even people. We’re almost there.
