Trump Derangement Syndrome

[SpeareChucker]

...

[in conclusion]

Democrats are not deranged—their tactics work, and work well. They are not well meaning. Do not believe their moral preening. They are power hungry.

The derangement we face is a deliberate and calculated strategy of the social-justice Left. It has been turned into a mass movement by a bandwagon of Democrat politicians and media professionals who are riding it to personal power, publicity, and financial profit.

Orange Man Bad because America Bad. Trump and his supporters’ big crime is that they believe in and love America. The Democrats real derangement is that they no longer believe in American individualism and freedom of thought, speech, and enterprise. They don’t believe in the philosophy of “live and let live,” so vital to our republic. They don’t even believe in justice, only what they deceptively call “social justice.”

A political movement based on a sense of moral monopoly and it’s own unquestioned right to rule is anti-American at its core. Keep your eye on the main game, not the tactic of attacking Trump. Trump will only be here to defend us for six more years at the most.

The Democrats are in the dismantling of America for the long haul. It is a national tragedy and it must be stopped.

Karin McQuillan, American Greatness


This is not new. The Mass Movement presents the past as an indictment, the present as intolerable and the future in doubt unless the clarion call to Revolution is heeded. It unites the frustrated (and frustration has many sources) and provides them with selfless action in the name and cause of the future (Hoffer). First the frustrated destroyed and took over the Democrat Party, as steeped as it was in slavery, Jim Crow and oppression by "white power," it was a logical place to start. Much of that mass movement, being sated settled down to become the establishment (which, explains why the Press is so dedicated to the Democrats, it is the Party that they helped co-opt with their college radicalism by hostile takeover; it is them now.). However, the revolutionary fervor still remains with the dissatisfied and they are not the Peace Movement of MLK, but the violent call to arms of revolutions past. While the Weather Underground mellowed out and joined the establishment, its grandchildren now view it as the enemy, but they still enjoy the paternalistic pride of the activist generation that spawned them; they still serve a useful political purpose. Soon however, Uncle Toohey will have to admit that he is no longer in control of the mob and strives to be the first in the lifeboat...

I read that as American Greetings and wondered what a card company has to do with anything.
Other than that I have no interest in any of that codswallop.

We get this with every president. If you don’t think we had Obama derangement syndrome runnnng rampant for 8 years, you must hav3 been living in a cave.

On a second note. It’s okay to dislike some one without having to b3 labeled as deranged.

Not the same thing.
President Obama enjoyed a very moderate and sympathetic Democrat press that was eager to support him and the image they wished to present to the world of a black man finally breaking the final chains, but still, no one will let Racism go as long as a Republican is in office. The hatred that was directed at LBJ and the Democrats was merely turned on Republicans once the radicals gained control of the Party and Press. There is no comparison between the way Republican Presidents are treated with the way that Democrat Presidents are treated.

This hatred and OBS that you try to use by way of false equivalency was never more than a visceral reaction to how dare you disagree with "our" policies. The only reason that you can disagree with us is Racism....

In short, you lend validity to the positions stated in the OP.

 

[bellisarius]

The House is paralyzed with TDS. They don't seem to even be trying to make an attempt at any legislation.

 

[SpeareChucker]

It's a campaign strategy...



The beauty is how well it worked last time.
This time, the Democrats understand that it's not enough to get nasty,



nasty doesn't work without mean, and by mean, I mean downright vicious. Keep irons in the fire...

I don't think so. Every conservative news Celebrity and every conservative news source was full of hatred for Obama no matter what he did. It was deranged. I agree there is a certain amount of that with Trump too, but we get that with every president. You never heard of talk radio? LOL

Hatred is way too strong a word. There was disagreement and even animosity, but little or no actual hatred. How many members of Congress were clamoring for impeachment of Obama or claiming he stole the election or saying other things that are said about Trump.

As opposed to the House during Obama's second term?

You remember, when all they did was vote to repeal Obamacare repeatedly with nothing to replace it with and reinvestigating Benghazi hoping for a different outcome.

All they did was try and obstruct, tear down or convict democrats, you partisan fucktard.

Delusional. Freaking delusional.

Talk to Mitch McConnell.

And you truly believe what you are saying.

 

[Klinkster]

"Partisan fucktard."

Ahhhh....the tolerant and inclusive left.

For someone that slings names, judgements and slurs around you get mighty sensitive about it. Yeah I know I know, you only do what's been done to you.

Yeah I know I know, you only do what's been done to you.

And I figured you would never learn anything.

Yes. Some people in Congress and even on this forum were critical of Obama and opposed some of his actions, but there was little if any, talk of impeachment. Even one of the biggest lies in history that The Big O told in furtherance of Obamacare resulted in more laughter than loathing.

disagree - somewhat.
the obama hatred was set in different bounds.

there was no question that he was
smart
and deliberate,
a relatively unknown (at first),
a (then) progressive
had garnered a fervent following
and... is black...

obama threatened the haters
for those basic reasons...
also, he acted quickly and deliberately on his aca
which in many ways could be labeled "social(ist) engineering'...
...a 'big fucking deal"
he threatened in many ways because...
despite what were considered impediments,
haters believed he was going to outsmart...
out... crowd source their... sacred cows.
the race haters... well... time, reality and performance eroded at that.

trump hate is more a...
personality
process
and pandemonium hatred.
in many ways it is more visceral
and prone to mania.
he has considered himself unaccountable to party
or process
or pluralism
and relies upon stirring a cult of personality
as his basis for power
almost exclusively.

no one truly believed that obama was a potential madman at the wheels of power.

the obama haters were alarmed that he could wake the masses
from 'yes we can' to 'now we did'
towing with it the more outlier fringes of a liberal platform.
he scared them because he could;
within the general bounds of known policy greater objectives.

most trump haters are alarmed
for what he might do...
without regard to anything much more apparent than whim.
and... even edge republicans dislike (to hatred of) trump
for the irreparable damage he has done to
a generation or two of the party...
other's hate him for what he has done to his very office
and how that has effected our international regard.
indeed, many trump haters are amazed and frightened
by the mass - the electorate - he has energized as...
dangerous.

even with the aca - a far less than perfect piece of legislation...
time has shown that its basic precepts and apparatus
are basically improvements on - and favorable to
the messy amalgam that health care had become...
even the majority in congress could not... retrench.
the aca was a long considered (if eventually frankensteined) step
towards correcting a universally accepted issue.
and though it continues to be a divisive issue,
some manner of more universal health care will survive it...
obama worked in more considered - more complicated ways...

the hatreds for the two are not entirely comparable
except for the hatred.
i'd again suggest that trump hatred is far more fervent
far more prone to becoming histrionic.

Talk radio is its own format, it should not be included, for either side.

You are then saying that, what, you approve of hating Trump because President Obama was only agreed with by his voters and the Press? Whenever one of those "whispers of scandals" popped up around his administration, as I pointed out, the press simply went with his explanations and exonerated him, which is why Honest Joe is running on a scandal-free platform. On the other hand, even when the most serious of the Press' charges are proved to be fabrications and "gossip" from former administration officials, they do not say, okay, Trump is clean, lets move on to policy differences, no, oh hell no, they scream obstruction and coverup and throw everyone under the bus that investigated and found no wrong doing, which is what they would have found if they were not pulling up short every time all of the evidence led to President Obama, Secretary Clinton, James Clapper, Comey, etc.,

So, to claim the hate for Trump as business as usual just does not pass the smell test.

PS - President Obama did not have to battle his own party too...

trump has neutered
or "attritted" his 'party'

the bull moose party
(not by any stretch the old bull moose)
finally won.

Very sick society

I am not into politics at all. But your comments were excellent in drawing attention to what is really going on with fake news trying and succeeding in brainwashing society. Regardless of a person's political views, all people should be alarmed when social propaganda brews hate. The methods that are being used are the same methods used over and over in history in the founding stages of tyranny. The same methods work because most people live in a bubble and don't really understand human history or the dynamics of mind control and power grabbing.

So again, I am not into politics but your explanation of the growing social cancer is very well described. I am certain that you have a much better than average knowledge of human history. Thank you.

President Obama did not work in complicated ways.

Things were complicated because he let everyone else do all the heavy lifting and then only showed up when he thought it was time to spike the ball.
He never laid a finger on the ACA, he just imperiously said to make it so,
I delivered you both houses of Congress (based on the Press' unmitigated hatred of Bush who "stole the election from Hillary, or was that Gore, we gets Dem confused and their constant claim that they were holding truth to power, which took a 180º turn when they got then Senator Obama elected and then completed the 360º pivot when the election was stolen from Al, or was that Clinton, we gets Dem confused and the went back to hatefully and balefully showing the Truth to power) so now you deliver me the Health Care plan that I promised, the one where costs go down, you save money and you get to keep your doctor...

So yeah, things got really complicated, but he was never more complicated than what he told us he was,

a blank screen on which we could project our hopes and dreams upon.
