Probably the difference between us is I’m not angry with him. I just think he’s not it. He has some good traits but he has some very bad traits that tend to sabotage his own success. And there is no social pressure for him to improve himself. He thinks he’s perfect. His fanbois think he’s perfect. Nothing to fix there.So, MF.... where exactly did I state anything like there is no such thing as TDS? I'll wait...
For there record, there is and has been for sometime TDS. Rampant TDS. The traditional meaning was that ANYTHING and EVERYTHING Trump said or did was opposed by the progs and NeverTrumpers, reflexively.
He used it to great effect to rope them into indefensible positions...
Now, apparently, TDS is any and all criticism of Trump. Well, whatever... as the mini-Vader mentions above, much like -isms, defining it down also means losing it's effect.
What you term "loss of emotional control" I'll let you in on a not so secret confidence: I'm beyond ****ed off at Trump. I'm mad as hell and not taking it anymore. His actions based solely upon his own petty, small-minded self-interest, delusions and revenge-fantasies have led this country in EXACTLY the opposite direction of making America great again. His actions over and over again have put TRUMP FIRST and AMERICA LAST.
I do think that anyone who doesn't see that, or at least consider how a former Trump supporter could see things that way, well I do think that such rosy-eyed Trumpers suffer from another form of TDS - Trump Delusion Syndrome - the opposite of traditional TDS that posits anything and everything Trump says or does is RIGHT.
Much like TDS 1.0, TDS 2.0 leads adherents to indefensible, nonsensical positions. Just the flip side of the same coin.
So, anyway, I'm done, done and done with Trump.
Color me a Never Again Trump'er because to me he's "Donny the Loser", a sore loser at that, and pulling MAGA and AF down with him - and THAT is what makes me ANGRY.
But. I’d vote for him again over any Democrat.
