Lol is Trump Derangement Syndrome seriously not used to describe those crazy pro trump people?
No, unfortunately it's used like the image shows. Get into a conversation with a Magoo about the terrible things Trump does/has done and they'll resort to "you people just have Trump derangement syndrome, he lives rent free in your heads all day!"
Then they'll go "HuNtEr BiDeN! BuRiSmA!"
...
Trump derangement syndrome was originally about the hysterical articles about inconsequential comments/actions Trump made during his first term. It's like the tan suit outrage. It's since morphed into anything critical of Trump. Just like woke went from extreme virtue signalling to just being not racist.
Lol seriously. I don’t pay attention to a lot of the whole woke argument but when I do I’m like “this just seems like it just has a black character in it.”
Now it means showing any empathy at all
Woke means being aware of racial prejudice. If you're black, you tell your friends to stay woke. Because if they aren't woke, and they treat a police officer like a human being, they could be killed. If you're woke, you treat police officers like rabid dogs. Dangerous animals. You don't let your guard down.
Derangement Syndrome typically refers to the critics of President rather than the supporters.
This goes back, at the very least, to the Clinton Era. The Clinton media allies coined the term (Clinton Derangement Syndrome) to describe right-wing critics who would go on long AM Radio broadcast tirades about how everything about the Clinton administration - from trade policy with China to Hilary's exposed upper calf - was undermining America and making life miserable.
Republicans adopted it under Bush. Then liberals re-adopted it under Obama. Then it was a Trump thing. Then a Biden thing. Now we're back to insisting any criticism of Trump v2.0 is hysterical hate-mongering.
God American media is fucking stupid. I’m sorry I asked. Now I’m just irritated.
