In recent weeks, I've had two people, that I genuinely like and respect, go off the rails on Trump without considering that I may not feel the same way. This brazen confidence of TDS sufferers drives me nuts more than anything. Both have expressed with high emotion how much they hate him and each would like to see him in jail - or worse. In these cases, I've bitten my tongue and changed the subject because I didn't want to ruin the relationship - but at the same time I silently questioned their individuality and common sense. No human is perfect. DJT, while awesome and a very stable genius, has flaws like everyone else. But to ignore the Cadaver in Chief currently acting as pResident and his horrendous performance the past three years while focusing on hating his unfairly represented poltical opposition is just a sign of how well the propaganda has worked. My fear is that these type of people will never see past the lies they've come to believe as gospel and that 2024's election is going to be the most contentious, yet. What do you think will have to happen for these people to see the light? Destruction of the MSM? WWIII? Biden and his global cohorts arrested for crimes against humanity? All of the above? I think next time anyone expresses hate for Trump, I am just going to ask them why they feel that way. I'm thinking they've been told to hate him for so long, they really won't know how to answer.

My parents have full blown TDS. My relationship with them has been reduced to email since Trump was elected and cemented when COVID kicked in. My only close relative stopped talking to me when Trump was elected even though I was going through some of the hardest parts of my life - abandoned me.
As far as friends, I have no serious liberal friends. My wife works w all leftists and has to pretend she’s one of them.
The TDS infected are the most hateful, intolerant mentally ill people I know. They function normally until Drumpf or tRUMP comes up and all sensibilities go out the window.
It’s the damndest phenomena I’ve seen.
My mom didn't come to my wedding back in 2019 because I voted for the "wrong person" so I know what you mean. We haven't spoken since. It was her call at first, but I realized what a sigh of relief it was to be without such petty dramatic crap in my life.
insane.....
Thats why I trust no one except God. People are weird AF
Politics is thicker than blood. Or maybe it’s really brainwashing.
It's brainwashing, and it's heartbreaking. I emphasize with both of you. Keep you Spirit tuned to what God tells you, not all is always lost forever.
Just had a reconnection with some family here after close to two years of silence. I prayed about it forever, and finally got the "Go Sign" from the Lord. Timing was perfect - they had been going through hell from (I suspect) clot shot related illnesses, which thankfully made them begin questioning the brainwashing that made them decide they'd rather follow masking protocols than associate with their family. They're much more awake now, and I'm being gentle with them, as they were completely in the wrong on this issue. It TORE ME UP, but the Lord set it straight. Very thankful.
A very powerful comment. I have found myself praying a lot more through this process. God Guided us on a journey (up and moving from DC after entire life to NC) and we were truly blessed to finally be able to leave the toxic environment and its people. I’m seeing people waking up but I’m not the gentle type. The people that turned on me aren’t going to wake up 4-6%.
My wedding was a bit of a litmus test in this regard, only a few declined without a reason and it was the ones that I expected to.
There is that, sometimes walking away lowers stress significantly. Choose new family if you can.
That's so sad, I'm sorry. I'm grateful both my parents were Trump supporters... they've both since passed I miss them everyday, in my heart I know God was merciful calling them home before they saw this complete insanity nowadays.... it would have broken their hearts.
Every word you speak about "them" is absolute truth. I've essentially lost my only sister (who was more of a mother to me growing up than our REAL mother) because I engaged in the cardinal sin of calling out her TDS, and shining light on the lies with which she allowed MSM to pollute her brain. We went from talking 1-2x a week to not speaking in any way for months now. I don't see a way back, either...because she's one that will NEVER admit she was wrong about any of this.
Most of the TDS-suffering libtards are like that, though. My wife and I can count on one hand now the number of friends or family that we can trust and communicate with on a "normal" basis. It's a much lonelier existence, but hey...at least we still have each other, too.
I’m sorry to hear that. At least my in-laws who are also libs, are still close w their only daughter and she blasts them constantly about how they are wrong about everything. My parents - one mention of even the slightest thing political will launch them into orbit and I won’t hear from them for 6 months. I’m only in it for the inheritance at this point. Im an only child as is my wife. Not like they have other kids to join in their insanity.
Yes! They function normally until he comes up. In both cases, it came out unprovoked. The first time, we happened to be chatting about a non-political TV show and the person brought up the one person he'd like to see dead, which was Trump. Terrible, I know. The other, the person asked for a Dentist recommendation because hers was too conservative and had to then tell me how much she HATES Trump. Both times I was just shocked at their vehement hate.
To quote Limbaugh: “Liberalism is a mental disorder.”
They must be obedient TV-watchers and believers of all things media. Maybe they even watch The Vue.
Good, you found out who values hate more than love.
They have been given license to go into the darkest, most violent and hateful parts of the human psyche and to wallow and bathe in their hatred for Trump and all Americans who want what he wants: a better future for this country based on love, freedom, tolerance, acceptance and equality. They want a society based on constant surveillance, blind raw hate for other Americans who speak their minds and value independence, self reliance and inclusivity; and above all, division. The divisiveness based on race, religion, sex, class, etc. is absolutely vital to their world view of GROUP MEMBERSHIP, IDENTITY POLITICS, and FEAR OF EXCLUSION.
Q wasn’t kidding with his/her/their statement, “they want you divided”.
I had friends and coworkers who happily voted for Obama, whom I call the "Wedding Crasher." The fraudulent President who managed to drop more bombs than warmongering Bush did, destabilized the Middle East, supplied guns to Mexican cartels, set back race relations by decades, etc. I never once felt the urge to excommunicate them. As foolishly misguided they were, I never thought to cut them out of my life. And now with Potatus detonating a nuclear bomb in Nevada as though it was the '50s again and bringing us closer and closer to WWIII, I still don't hate people for voting for Mr. Sniffy.
What's your point besides that you are loving, forgiving and virtuous?
My point is that shitlibs don't operate the same way. All of that "love trumps hate" and "when they go low, we go high" are all empty platitudes from hypocrites.
Very, very true. I couldn't even hold the slightest conversation, send a political cartoon, or even point out one the Resident's countless disasters without a full trigger and TDS blowback in my 82 yo father. My mother is probably to the left of my dad - she just stays silent and seethes. .
