I have found that when people find out that I am a Trump supporter, they often have a very intense responses on my Facebook page. I have yet to find a person who has a civil comment about my views on Trump–except for Trump supporters. I have been attacked verbally in vicious ways by people who I thought were friends. I believe that they have been under the influence of media that misrepresents Trump–mostly intentionally. Perhaps they have Trump Derangement Syndrome.
I have compassion for people who feel so strongly yet I do think that the description “TDS” is an accurate label. This funny ad helps you to know what TDS is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDKYJXYemn4
This video reflects the experiences I have had with MAGA people–Trump supporters. I love this.

This interview with Nicole Shanahan, the VP running mate of Bobby Kennedy, Jr., is so touching. I highly recommend watching this if you are feeling stressed about Trump’s victory. Nicole was reluctant to endorse Trump even after Bobby Kennedy Jr. did, but once she realized how brainwashed she was, she completely turned around and wanted to help people such as herself have a new understanding of Trump and the Make America Great Again movement. https://www.megynkelly.com/2024/09/25/nicole-shanahan-shares-story-of-viral-maga-trump-videos/
After hundreds of hours of research, I have concluded that Trump is the best person to lead this country, solidified by the fact that people whom I respect immensely have joined his team. Ron Paul, Tulsi Gabbard, Bobby Kennedy Jr., Vivek Ramaswami, and Elon Musk are among those who have helped campaign for Trump. I also respect so many people like Russel Brand, Dave Rubin, and countless other podcasters who have done their best to show that Trump and his team are fighting the New World Order which includes Big Pharma, Big Ag, the Military Industrial Complex, most of the 3 letter agencies in Big Government. I could go on and on, but for now I will leave it at that. I am very glad that Trump and his team will be running our country with everyone’s help.
If you want to know the definition of TDS, according to AI, please read the following:
Based on the provided search results, TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) can be distinguished from other forms of political polarization or ideological extremism in several ways:
- Specificity to a person: TDS is characterized by an intense, often irrational, dislike or hatred towards Donald Trump, which sets it apart from more general political polarization or ideological extremism. While other forms of polarization may focus on political ideologies or party affiliations, TDS is uniquely tied to a specific individual.
- Emotional intensity: TDS is often marked by extreme emotional reactions, such as outrage, anger, or disgust, which can be more pronounced than in other forms of polarization. This emotional intensity can manifest in behaviors like vitriolic rhetoric, personal attacks, or even violence.
- Lack of policy-based disagreement: TDS often involves a rejection of Trump’s personality, character, or perceived values rather than disagreements over specific policies. This distinguishes it from ideological extremism, which typically revolves around fundamental disagreements over political principles or policy positions.
- Asymmetry: TDS is often characterized by a one-sided, overwhelmingly negative response to Trump, whereas other forms of polarization may involve more balanced or nuanced critiques of opposing political views.
- Psychological factors: Research suggests that TDS may be influenced by psychological factors such as confirmation bias, echo chambers, and affective polarization, which can amplify and distort perceptions of Trump and his supporters.
However, it’s essential to note that the boundaries between TDS and other forms of political polarization or ideological extremism can be blurry. Some researchers argue that TDS is an extreme manifestation of a broader phenomenon, such as affective polarization or ideological extremism, rather than a distinct entity.
In conclusion, while TDS shares some similarities with other forms of political polarization or ideological extremism, its specificity to a person (Trump), emotional intensity, and lack of policy-based disagreement set it apart. However, the exact boundaries and relationships between TDS and other forms of polarization remain a topic of ongoing research and debate.Follow up
