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.
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.
They must be obedient TV-watchers and believers of all things media. Maybe they even watch The Vue.
