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.
