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

Stop it as long as you can!

It's too late. It's now on the rest of the world to prepare for the American Nazi regime

We have no ability to effect any meaningful change at this point outside of high velocity lead poisoning.

I kinda want to leave for good.

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

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

Yes, hating Trump is deranged, but this was not:

collapsed inline mediatruck gate decal depicting President Biden tied up in the bed of the truck

Anyone ever see one of these with Trump?

Btw, I got this simply from searching “Biden truck decal”. I got no negative top results searching Trump instead of Biden. In fact, this is the best one I got from adding anti- in front of Trump in the search (with relevant double-standard caption included):

collapsed inline mediapicture of a white truck’s back window with the words “fuck Trump and fuck you for voting for him” but with the f-words blurred out. Caption says, “Outstanding warrant. Woman with anti-Trump decal arrested.”

So tell me again, who is deranged?

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 22 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

So I just googled "anti-trump car decals" and was given a link to buy anti-maga stickers on Amazon, and when I went to images I got to see some decent ones. But then I saw an article with the same truck in your second picture, stating the driver added another sticker to the back windshield saying "FUCK LOCAL SHERIFF'S NAME AND FUCK YOU FOR VOTING FOR HIM"

Top tier boss bitch.

Yes, Trump's derangement can be classified as a completely new form of mental illness

They forgot the apostrophe!

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.

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Trump at the press dinner, Musk masturbating to submersible plans, Bezos getting cucked for half his fortune.

Limp white millionaires really do get deranged when they realise it doesn't buy them respect.

[–] HungryJerboa@lemmy.ca 9 points 15 hours ago

Thanks for reminding me that Mackenzie Scott did far more for the world with her half of his money than he can ever hope to achieve in 100 lifetimes.

Go look up how much this woman has donated to charity over the years. It's astronomical, compared to Jeff lol

Hey now, don't forget the allegations of sexual misconduct from employees.

If hating the guy who's threatening to take over my country is an illness, then bring it on, I've got it bad.

Everyone who isn't with us is against us, but yeah not a cult

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 18 points 14 hours ago

When I first heard of TDS I thought it was about his deranged stans and I thought that made sense.

Then I was told it was about all the people who lost their minds because of his election and defined themselves purely oppositionally to him, and I thought that made sense.

Then I observed that it's really just used as a slur against anyone who doesn't like him or his policies, and that makes sense too because that's the ultimate death of every social critique that ends up promulgated by conservatives.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Michigan Republicans

probably worth noting that their Governor is Tim Walz, the VP candidate from the last election. One of the few Democratic Party members who is in the news constantly for criticism of the current President.

Not that this has a chance to pass because the DFL controls the State Senate and the Governors office, but I be its a political ploy so they can say then need to remove Walz because he is mentally unsound.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 41 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Walz is the Minnesota governor, not Michigan.

I just type the wrong state, this is happening in Minnesota not Michigan

Phhhs you people are getting so worked up over adolf hitler. Stop worrying guys! he'll by gone by 1937

[–] Benetto@literature.cafe 14 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

...I'm confused. He named a new mental illness after himself now?

[–] T156@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Not him, but a bunch of other people on his political party.

It does feel a little like an attempt to legitimise it, so that criticisms are flipped off as mental illness, and/or an opportunity for institutionalising/excluding political opponents for much the same reason.

[–] suicidaleggroll@lemm.ee 8 points 12 hours ago

This is their attempt to get around that pesky 1st amendment. Make criticism of the king a "mental disorder", and then you can lock them up involuntarily "for their own protection".

[–] Infinite@lemmy.zip 5 points 14 hours ago

A little?

This is directly attempting to make criticizing Trump result in active life fuck-uppery.

[–] Benetto@literature.cafe 3 points 13 hours ago

Ah, that makes sense. I wasn't sure if they were actually poking fun at him or his supporters. It just reads as a word salad to me.

He is not deranged he is just a piece of shit Nazi like his father.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 13 points 17 hours ago

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.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 12 points 16 hours ago

Shouldn't it be "Trump's Derangement Syndrome"?

[–] Montreal_Metro@lemmy.ca 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

So trumps followers have Trump derangement syndrome. Makes sense.

[–] MangoCats@feddit.it 4 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 8 points 20 hours ago

I wonder if those who believe in TDS would also believe in Trudeau Derangement Syndrome where one feels compelled to put “F🍁CK TRUDEAU” flags on everything. Realistically these people probably know nothing about Canadian politics though

[–] arotrios@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

Did someone say PSYCHIC pathology?

collapsed inline media

[–] ksigley@lemm.ee 6 points 11 hours ago

These are the same morons that have Biden Derangement Syndrome.

[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

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.

My guess is he's trying to rename Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome because he has it.

[–] medusadeluxe@lemm.ee 4 points 8 hours ago

As a therapist, I won’t recognize it. Fuck that.
