Trump Derangement Syndrone is voting for a reality tv star that plays a businessman on television because you think he is a businessman in real life

Trump Derangement Syndrome is full embrace of QAnon.

Those are deranged. Not liking a horrible racist piece of shit leading a mob enraged about white identity politics isnt deranged. Claiming white people are oppressed by minorities is deranged after the white privilege capital raid. When the blacks came to say quit killing us we matter they had einzgruppen storm troopers waiting. Those same storm troopers were complicit in this riot.

This guy is trying to pardon himself. TDS is supporting the right to self-pardon.

its just funny that most people who reluctantly like Trump do so because they immaturely like how much trump makes liberals mad. but their #1 complaint is also that people are just mad at trump and wont give him a fair shake. pick a fucking lane fuckbois, either u like that he flames or u dont.

Or the level of shared entitlement he and they share that says this guy should be able to go around and constantly demonstrate how huge of a piece of shit he is, nonstop, and continually be given a chance, over and over again, ad nausem. So narcissistic at its core.

law and order, religious morality, and fiscal responsibility.

these are the tri-pillars the republican party was "built on", and they were made of paper during wild fire season.

Trump has shown more accurately than Clinton, Obama, or whomever could ever have that these never were an actual deal breaker for the GOP, they were always just a means to look down upon their opponents.

They were the party of limited government and low taxes, where experts and elitist could go to solve hard problems rationally. That is not the case now.

Also it is out of the fascist playbook to break all rules while insisting your opponent play by them, as well as be the party of law and order while being criminals as well. They also did the fascist playbook thing where they describe their opponents as completely omnipotent and also very weak, ie they are going to completely destroy family and church, your way if life, these raging pussy homosexuals who have no guns and can't fight, etc.

There are other criteria that have been met also.

I tend to stop short of the facism stuff, i think honestly they're just proof that reasoned logical people dont really exist when given power. if u get a billion dollars no one buys a food bunker and gold bars, they buy a lambo and a yacht. the more power u get, the less reasoned u are with that power. Trump getting something like 35-40% of his party's support was simply too much in a field of 12+ people. what do the Rubio fans who hold 4% of the parties primary votes do against that monolith. essentially no inter-party coalition exists to counter Trump, and a platform unchecked is dangerous. it mimics facism, it shows many of the same signs, but facism doesnt mix with the american system of checks and balances hard coded into the govt. its oil and water.

tl;dr, i dont think trump set out to be facist, likely would have gotten there if we didnt live in a system of checks and balances, but we do. whew.

Democracies give fascists the tools to overthrow it, ie free speech and assembly.

Same tools that have made people think vaccines cause autism.
