This is as good of a description of TDS that you could find. I understand that the author is being facetious in some of this, but it is probably much closer to reality than he wishes.
How many of our fellow posters on this Site exhibit signs of some, if not acute, TDS?

Not sure why you are posting this. What is your actual purpose? Humor? Discourse? I'm not sure that I'm willing to give you that kind of credit.
The "idea" of "TDS" is so transparent that it is truly laughable. It ain't nuthin but obvious desperation and deflection.
"Hey MAGA! Did you just get your ass handed to you in an argument? Been called out for supporting lies by the Trump Administration? Got no logic or actual facts for a comeback? No problem! Accuse the person of TDS! It's made up...but who cares!! Show your fealty today!"
Edit add: I should have waited to post this, let the usual MAGA crew pile on here and get all spun up first. But...it could be MORE fun this way! Come on, boyz! What....could go wrong!

TDS, the obsession with ignoring logic and reason while defending the lies told by Trump. Exemplified by the overuse of the word
Winning!
Winning!

Jacky, did you ever stop to wonder why such a term exists? People thought Bush was an idiot, but there surely wasn't BDS. Ford was a bumbling clown, but to my knowledge the only FDS was the spray.
Why Trump?
(You may need to aks permission to think about it.)
BTW - Acute TDS? You mean the kind you get once and it's done? LOLLING!

Ridding one’s self of TDC is a lot like the alcoholic wanting to get sober.
The very first thing is to admit you have a problem.
Evidence that this is not going to happen is on full display by our liberal/Democrat friends here on this Forum.
They hate Trump because he is Trump………..And they aren’t.

I mean...it sounds like...you had "no logic or actual facts." So you just...accused people of TDS?
What could go wrong?
Yeah. As I said...everything.
And here we go...
PLEASE...tell me if any of this sounds deranged…
A President is impeached twice. He then refuses to concede the lawful election of the President who succeeds him, so he foments an insurrection to try to stop the transfer of power that results in over 1600 criminal charges. After he leaves office (surprisingly!), he is convicted of felonies over his finances and found liable in civil court for defamation in a sexual misconduct case. He proceeds to lie repeatedly during his next Presidential campaign (They’re eating the dogs! I’ll end the Ukraine war in 1 day! I won’t criminalize government apparatus against my enemies!). Somehow, he wins. The first thing he does? Pardons and commutes sentences for the violent insurrectionists. Including the ones who assaulted police officers. And that was only the beginning. I could go on...incompetent cabinet appointees, TACO, etc. You get the picture.
And...after all of that... MAGA still supports him!
Congress gives up their power.
The Supreme Court enables his madness further.
The made up culture wars distract everyone from real shit like the housing shortage and economic disparity.
Billionaires get access and control over government institutions and wreak fucking havoc.
And the demonstrations of fealty only get louder and more frequent.
THAT….SOUNDS MOTHERFUCKING DERANGED!

Right! THAT'S why we hate him! Not for any actual REASONS. We are just...deranged!And here we have an example of stage 4 TDS. There was no insurrection. And the whining about pardons when YOUR guy pardoned and released violent offenders, including murderers, rapists, traffickers, the list goes on (never mind YOUR sides current assaults on cops which you still refuse to even acknowledge). Border secure, markets hitting record highs, has prices down, food prices down, criminal illegals getting rightly deported. That is WINNING. Deranged? That's exactly what your party has become.

You LOST your argument with "there was no insurrection." No one with common sense would waste time reading further.
Repeating it over and over only discredits you more.
You support a criminal who runs a corrupt, incompetent administration.
You are allowing him to make you poorer and to take away your rights.
Keep triggering. Telling me I am WRONG. That I am deranged.
(you won't be able to resist....just get it over with...then follow me somewhere else)
Oh...and one more time...it ain't my fucking party. I am a lifelong registered Republican. You know this. I've told you this. I am justified in calling your statement a LIE.
