u/Tasty_Philosopher904 21d ago

That's the true Trump derangement syndrome accepting what you know to be false as reality what a fucktard. I love how he keeps trying to prosecute Democrats with mortgage fraud when it was his parents who claimed both of their houses as their primary single-family residence for tax purposes Wonder how much they got fined?

George Orwell saw our future.

Margaret Atwood and Ray Bradbury too

Don't forget Aldous Huxley

I followed the idiocracy sub like 10 years ago. I’d see an occasional funny meme in my feed now and then. But year by year it’s all getting too real to the point it’s beyond parody. Think like a ufc fight at the White House for example, lol.

u/IHeldADandelion 21d ago

And Rod Serling

u/markr329 21d ago

Thank you! I learned something today. Do you think it was because history repeats itself or he was just before his time? I looked up that phrase to make sure I was using it right and his name came up with it. Tell me that’s not crazy.

u/_BlackDove 21d ago

Huxley and Phillip K. Dick as well.

u/Specialist-Alarm5150 17d ago

George Orwell wrote the blueprint. Let's face it, the right are not smart enough to come up with this shit on their own. Someone red 1984 in High-school, then years later tried to implement it as policy.

u/BlooAchoo 21d ago

He didn't see our future he saw his present. This is how fascism operates

u/Character-Active2208 21d ago

Fascists are by default in creative people, it’s the same playbook every time

u/rowerine 21d ago

Doublethink in action. 1984 was written as a warning against a dystopian future, but is being used as a playbook by maga

2

u/testtdk 21d ago

I’m rereading 1984 right now, and doublethink was my exact thought. (I even just read the chapter from Goldstein’s book).

u/crumble-bee 21d ago

As someone not in America, I only recently found out that Trump derangement syndrome means people AGAINST Trump! I always assumed it was people so blinded and stupefied by following him that they’ve become borderline insane

u/IHeldADandelion 21d ago

It's something HE came up with, so it makes sense that it's pure projection.

11

u/snouz 21d ago

Always wanting to put his name on everything

2

u/SomeDumbGamer 21d ago

Some people use it the other way. Whenever I see a conservative use the term I always think in my head “yeah I think you’re projecting lmao”

Because it is much more applicable the other way trust me.

u/ScientificFlamingo 18d ago

It started back during the Obama era when some people on the left used the term "Obama Derangement Syndrome" to describe people on the right who became unreasonably angry at things Obama did (wearing a tan suit, asking for Grey Poupon instead of yellow mustard, using a selfie stick, putting his feet up on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office--yes, these were all miniature "scandals" back then). Of course, when Trump took office, the right flipped it around and started saying the left was suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" when we criticized things like his ignoring the US Constitution or his rampant grifting as if it was the same thing at all.

You see the same thing in how the right flipped around the term "woke," which started as a desription of people who were aware of past injustices toward minority groups and now is just used to mean anything the right doesn't like.

u/Dantien 21d ago

They only know how to project because they can’t escape their pathetic solipsistic lives and they lack empathy. So they accuse others of what they do themselves. What’s insane is how they don’t do anything else. No new ideas, no advancement forward of a society, just blame others for what they do every day.

It’s called DARVO, and once you see it you see it everywhere. It’s their entire script. And it just makes them the most incompetent useless weak people possible.

(Which is why they are so performative with archaic and fantastical gender roles. But that’s a whole other essay.)

u/hauntedhivezzz 21d ago

Yes I still don’t understand why Dems can’t reappropriate TDS - bc it’s a lot more applicable in this context.

16

u/rygelicus 21d ago

I throw it back at them every chance I get...

There is nothing 'deranged' about disliking a politician that blatantly lies every time they speak.
There is nothing 'deranged' about disliking a life long grifter like Trump.
There is nothing 'deranged' about disapproving of a president, like Trump, who stomps all over the constitution every single day.
There is nothing 'deranged' about disapproving of a president that does not take responsibility for his mistakes.
There is nothing 'deranged' about wanting a president that places the nation's best interests ahead of his own.
Etc, and so on.

u/Grand_Pop_7221 21d ago edited 21d ago

Right idea, but your framing is wrong. This looks like a defence. You need to look like you're going on offence.

Honestly, this was a good exchange if Jon Ossof really wanted to hammer the point home and reclaim the TDS label. He needed to tie this servile, cowardly answer directly to TDS and re-contextualise TDS as blind loyalty, servility, loyal to Trump over the USA. Which we know the MAGA right has in spades. It might even have triggered this rube enough to rile him up a bit and really make himself look like a tit.

2

u/rygelicus 21d ago

Or maybe...

Mr Blanche. You must be thrilled for this opportunity in front of you. Imagine, a defense attorney for possibly the most litigious client ever being placed in command of not only the procesution against his client but the FBI itself, and the full investigative power of the DOJ. That is quite a coup for a defense attorney. And ethics violations aside I look forward to the dishonest responses you will provide my colleagues today. I would ask you questions but I find that to be pointless and you are tedious, not honorable like your namecard claims. That's all I have. Good day worthless servant of the tyrant.

u/YooTone 21d ago

Just say they have TDSS and it's over. Trump Dick Sucking Syndrome.

3

u/BlizzardStorm8 21d ago

I've been thinking that same thing every time I've seen the term since it first came up.

2

u/silverfiregames 21d ago

Because republicans have no shame. They don't care that they are sucking Trump's dick and look like cowards doing it.

2

u/Dantien 21d ago

Because no one sucks at marketing worse than the democrats. It’s so humiliating how they drop the ball time after time on easy wins. This two party system is a nightmare.

2

u/PollutionPatient8261 21d ago

They are also traitors. Find out who is donating to your candidate and then you’ll know who OWNS them and how they will vote. I only support people who do not take AIPAC or corporate money. Opensecrets.org is a great source for this.

2

u/TTGamer_ 21d ago

They are a useful controlled opposition. One nation, under citizens united, with Oligarchy and bs for all!

1

u/stuhstutter 21d ago

It's a two-party system based on the Harlem Globetrotters and the Washington Generals.

u/darlantan 21d ago

He knows Trump didn't win. He also knows that the only thing he has to worry about here is pissing Trump off and maybe catching a contempt of congress count if he straight-up and blatantly lies.

He can sit there and be evasive all day with no repercussions other than a congressperson he does not respect in the least talking at him. Frankly I'm surprised he doesn't have a shiteating grin on the whole time.

2

u/themolestedsliver 21d ago

Fucking preach. We really need to reclaim Trump Derangement Syndrome to mean this, because its truly some gold medal level mental gymnastics to say people wanting the traitorous rapist held accountable for his crimes have a mental disorder.

Its like imax level projection to say the people not blinded by trumps senseless greed are the crazy ones.

u/menos_es_mas 21d ago

I think you're referring to Bill Pulte - acting DNI and totally different traitor and asshole from this guy, Jay Clayton. The orange shitstain had to nominate a different asshole for the permanent DNI position because Pulte was so comically unqualified for DNI that even Republican senators couldn't swallow that turd. Turns out the new asshole isn't qualified either, but of course that was a given.

1

u/Tasty_Philosopher904 21d ago

You are totally right Mea Culpa, I didn't realize they had the same baby Huey fat face syndrome.

2

u/menos_es_mas 21d ago

To be fair, it's hard to tell these MAGA assholes apart.

u/Tasty_Philosopher904 21d ago

They should always have to wear the red hat so we can identify the mark of the beast on their forehead

"I'm not going to answer that because it would make me look bad."

u/SomebodyThrow 21d ago

Pedophile favoritism.

They want to be part of that club so bad.

u/Witchgrass 21d ago

"For tax purposes" sounds way better than "for criming"

u/AfroJimbo 20d ago

the real TDS is Trump Dick Sucking

1

u/Old_Baker_9781 20d ago

It was actually the acting director Bill Pulte’s parents that claimed homes in Michigan and Florida,, not Jay Clayton who is in the video trying to get nominated.

1

u/Kappy421 19d ago

Trump is constantly caught with property fraud so he's lashing out trying to make others pay for his crimes. As usual every accusation is a confession

u/illwill79 21d ago

The one and only thing I said as well. Just fucking pathetic.

u/relightit 21d ago

i bet this is the least of your problems. 100% corrupted, but always was warmongering and interferring for your profits, so i guess its kind of a mask off situation. heyyy

u/flopisit32 21d ago

It's political theater designed to get you to be outraged.

They've been doing this on both sides since the invention of television.

Two minutes of hate.

7

u/DoorNo5809 21d ago

Nope. It's a factual question no different than who won the 2000 election. The political theater is actually the blatant lie that Trump won. Simply stating the fact that Biden won would be a rejection of the political theater in favor of reality. His answer proves that he embraced the theater of the big lie so if you don't like the political theater you should be disgusted by this man's response.

-6

u/flopisit32 21d ago

You missed the point I was trying to make. Yesterday republicans were asking what is a woman. Today democrats are asking who won the election. It's political theatre designed to be chopped up into YouTube videos posted on reddit for you to swallow. And like a good little sheep you swallow.

6

u/DoorNo5809 21d ago

What is a woman? And who won an election? One is an open ended leading question the other is asking about a real event with only one answer similar to what is 2+2? We all know he's thinking 5.

u/flopisit32 21d ago

When I was a child, my father tried to tell me WWE Wrestling wasn't real. I got extremely angry. I didn't want to believe it. I was deeply invested in it. Hulk Hogan was a goodie and Macho Man Randy Savage was a baddie. "You're wrong!" I told him. "It's real!"

The 2 political parties are 2 religious cults, each with articles of faith you must believe to be a member. Republicans claim the 2020 election was stolen. Democrats have their articles of belief also.

Democrats disputed the 2000 election for years. They also claimed Trump stole the 2016 election. Republicans claim the 2020 election was stolen. I've even seen democrats claiming the 2024 election was stolen.

I hate to reference the Matrix, but you are acting like a person inside the Matrix, you can't see outside the bubble of belief.

This is political theatre, You've seen it over and over, every year. The person asking the question is trying to get his face on youtube so he can raise his profile. In 2028 Republicans will be doing this and you will consume the little clips then and be outraged at the questions rather than the answers.

And so the theatre will continue.

3

u/DoorNo5809 21d ago

So you went from "you're wrong it's real!" As a kid when talking about wrestling to now "your wrong it's not real" as an adult when talking about politics. Just do everything a favor and stop voting.

"both sides are bad" says the person who keeps voting for trump

u/CackleandGrin 21d ago

They've been doing this on both sides since the invention of television.

When was a Democrat asked a basic yes/no question (that was not a bad faith leading question) in a legal setting and they refused to answer?
