    As a german: this is 1:1 the 3rd Reich playbook.

    Stop it as long as you can!

        You have. Go in the street in masses make sure that Republicans fear you.

        Our german constitution allows for violence from civilians to protect the democratic order if any other means failed.

        We have this for good reasons. To make sure we don’t ever end up with a dictatorship again.

        It will pe painful, it will be ugly, but if you wait to long this is the only way

          In America, our system works like this:

          The police will shoot you, maybe burn your house or neighborhood down, steal everything you own, Lock you up without charges, and then if you can ever afford a lawyer to sue them you might get out of jail only to find the burned-out hole in the ground you used to live in was sold to a property developer and none of the money found its way to you.

          You also owe tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes on the burned down house for the time you were in jail, but all of the money for selling the house was given to some scam artist who knew you wouldn’t be able to stop them.

          You can’t afford to go to the doctor, but a third of your income is spent on health insurance. It takes 2 hours of work to afford a dozen eggs. You no longer have a car because they towed it from your driveway while you were locked up and you can’t even afford to get it out of impound despite the fact that every day the cost of storing the vehicle goes up by more than you earn.

          This country is a fucking nightmare for so many people.

            The police will shoot you

            And that’s true of every repressive regime that has ever been overthrown by people power. Just remember: if we don’t resist, they’ll just find it easier to kill us. There’s no option where we’re safe and they still exist.

    Last month, Elon Musk revived the term and told Fox News host Sean Hannity he used to be “adored by the left” until they were infected with TDS.

    From what I remember, it had nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with you calling the experts who successfully rescued a bunch of children trapped in a cave, “pedo guy” along with all your other aggressive tactics to silence critics. Followed by the Twitter purchase.

    Conservatives are wild. I don’t know if they intentionally do it but their behavior is absurd. Obsessed with Obama’s birth certificate, LeTs Go BrAnDoN, and even super whacky shit like QAnon and trying to prove Michelle Obama is a man. They hate “mainstream media” yet Fox News is one of the biggest networks. They’re all about merit yet discount anything AOC says, who’s smart and studied, because she bartended. And now they want to turn the tables, claim they are and have always been normal, and it’s people who disapprove of Trump who are deranged. It makes no sense.

      All of that? That’s the point. That’s exactly how they want us to feel: confused, hurt, isolated. They will gladly say something incredibly hypocritical and then just smile a shit-eating grin when you call them out, because we both know there’s nothing that can be done short of violence and that’s when they’ve “won.”

      But in all honesty, violence actually is an answer, and a proper one to bullshit like this. I don’t give a fuck if you could call it assault if someone is literally taunting and threatening me when I haul off and beat their ass.

      Do it. Make them scared of violent revolution and reprisals.

      People keep posting that Sartre quote about anti-semites, but that’s the point.

      It’s not about the actions, it’s about who is doing them.

    The smug childishness of a grade school bully who got you in trouble after you lost your shit and finally punched back. These assclowns are infuriating.

    Guys, just steal this and use it to describe deranged Trump idiots. The right wing steals useful words like “fake news” and “groomer” and alters their meanings for political purposes all of the time. This one should be a layup because without reading into it everyone already thinks it’s the condition those everyday July 4th cosplay, big truck with tattered flags morons have.

    I love how far I had to read before it was clear that it’s not what Trump has; it’s what people who disagree with him apparently have.

    Diseases are often named after their victims…

    Also, and this is buried in everything he is doing, but how arrogant do you have to be to assume that every person disagrees with him just because he’s Donald Trump, and not because there are valid concerns?

      5+ years back Trumpettes threw around the label TDS at Trump detractors, saying they couldn’t see reality due to their rage…

      Whatever you call it, however you see it, there is significant mass psychosis associated with our nutcase-in-chief.

        Fear of chaos and loss of civil rights? That sounds entirely rational based on what the Trump administration is up to.

    The best thing about someone using the term Trump derangement syndrome unironically is that I know I can just ignore them and nothing of value will be lost.
