TDS

 TDS, or Trump Derangement Syndrome is a non-clinical term coined to describe what some perceive as irrational, exaggerated, or obsessive criticism of Donald Trump, his policies, or his presidency. 

I've reviewed clinic chatter, and no certified folks really want to say the syndrome  exists....although several dozen clinics have some type of 'program' where they take you in (provided your insurance covers it) and puts you in a lesser chaotic state of mind (they are all careful not to say their program relates to TDS....just that you are stressed-out).

I would imagine the 3-to-4 week  program...mostly training you to avoid news or political dialog/commentary.  They probably read some Bible scripture....watch some episodes of Happy Days....haul hay....mow some lawns, and mellow-out with some high-grade weed.

What this revolves around for the state of mind?  It suggests that critics are so consumed by their dislike for Trump that they lose objectivity, reacting with intense emotion or hostility that overrides logic or reason. 

I was looking back over things...going past 2016, and this odd comment comes up around 2003....Bush Derangement Syndrome.  It was uttered by Charles Krauthammer.  For the record, before he became a journalist...he was a psychiatrist.

BDS?  Well....it means folks are consumed by their dislike for Bush that they lose objectivity, reacting with intense emotion or hostility that overrides logic or reason.

VDS?  Well....it means folks are consumed by their dislike for VP Vance-turned-into-President (2028) that they lose objectivity, reacting with intense emotion or hostility that overrides logic or reason.

XYZ-DS?  Well....it means folks are consumed by their dislike for anyone who is a Republican with high vote  probability....that they lose objectivity, reacting with intense emotion or hostility that overrides logic or reason.

I'm trying to think of an occasion  like this in American history but nothing really fits.  You simply have around 20-odd-million Americans now programed for intense emotion and hostility (it's embeded into their mental side).

Just an odd factor that we seem now stuck with.  

(Note: if you are afflicted with TDS, BDS, or anything-DS....I'll pray for you, humor you to some degree....but in my mind....you got some kind of demon-problem, and probably four consecutive days of hauling hay on a hot August afternoon....to get the problem solved.)
