Trump Derangement Syndrome

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Who are these people who are being mocked while the government acts against them? And what do these have to do with letting emotion rule over thought?

Yet liberals always call for policies that would help those peoples, but the underprivileged conservatives always vote in way that go against their own interests; if their lives are hard is not fault of the liberals, it is their own for listening to wealthy peoples that only care about hoarding ever more money.

One of the trends I have noticed is that charity is used to shelter money and saddle your enemies with logistical burdens. There is some definite crossover, between the national and international brands of socialism.

Slave plantations and orphanages with forced labor have been described as charitable, in this country, but, I think, someone legitimately respectful of minorities, would not want to see them used as pawns. You wouldn't flush your prisons and hospitals, onto your national rivals, if you really loved those people.

That's not what I'm talking about. You're saying the hysteria is limited to Trump and wouldn't exist if say Jeb Bush won.

But there has been hysteria over virtually everyone appointed by Trump, even before they got started. Hysteria over each individual. There was even hysteria over people who might become White House staff.

People flipping out one way or another, from the very beginning over Trump, everyone on his staff and even his wife and children.

It's always been a very bizarre case of mass hysteria and obsession.

It's like 20% of the problem is Trump and 80% is how the left has reacted to it.

Well with Flynn worry was justified. Bannon has his own history. Spencer seems like a nice guy, I hope he's making a lot of money out of this. There's the Kushners who are already benefiting financially from the Presidency. Honestly, I think Ivanka may end up in jail over the Chinese trademark deal. Pence is disgusting in his own right, but he seems genuine.

A hundred years from now, historians and psychologists will study public behavior during this period as a classic example of mass hysteria, like witch-manias and religious panics. And it goes well beyond Trump into the whole fabric of the contemporary Left (including academia), which in the US is gripped by a kind of manic religious hysteria.

The most famous early study of these periods of mass hysteria is Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Mackay, published in 1841 -- it's still useful today:

And you thought "derangement" was just an expression. A student at Western Washington University encounters a street preacher with a Trump sign. (You may want to turn the volume down on your computer.)

You have been reported for trolling, namely posting the same picture over and over with the deliberate intention of demeaning and offending other members who hold a different political belief. Continuing in this way may result in formal action.

So, inviting Duterte to visit the WH? Talk about birds of a feather.

Biased media? What biased media?

• President Trump dominated media coverage in the outlets and programs analyzed, with Trump being the topic of 41 percent of all news stories—three times the amount of coverage received by previous presidents. He was also the featured speaker in nearly two-thirds of his coverage....

• Trump has received unsparing coverage for most weeks of his presidency, without a single major topic where Trump’s coverage, on balance, was more positive than negative, setting a new standard for unfavorable press coverage of a president.

Sorry for the very belated answer.

Basically, the rust belt working class whites from "flyover country" that voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 and Trump in 2016. The mocking is a lot of "trailer park trash", "dumb hicks" committing incest type type jokes, "Grandpa" you are irrelevant type statements. If that type of mocking stereotyping were done to any other group there would be shitstorm and people fired but it is considered funny when done to this segment of the American people. The government policies that have hurt this group have been well documented.

This group that voted for Trump might have voted stupidly because of their emotion, but that does not mean they are low intelligent people necessarily or the that they did not have good reason to be emotional.

We were discussion why the election went they way it did. I was reacting to the complete shock that this cohort cast their ballot for Trump and people making the same mistakes of how they view Trump voters after the election, that led to the Trump phenomenon.

Surely the majority of Trump supporters must by now realize that Trump is not what they had thought?

I hope that people have not given up on the Bill of Rights and transferred their loyalty to DJT.

Charles Krauthammer a member of the the DSM III and the man who invented the term "Derangement Syndrome" weighs in
Krauthammer: Trump Derangement Syndrome is spreading

A lot of articles by him on Breitbart, and I don't think anyone could seriously argue that Breitbart isn't a partisan site.

Krauthammer has been around way longer and been published in more than just Breitbart
