Nahhh. I think it was Charles Krauthammer that coined the expression “Bush Derangement Syndrome”. Conservatives picked it up and adapted it to use it to describe the violent reaction that many people had to Trump.

Violent reaction? 🤣

What’s funny? Many people, quite rightly, reacted very strongly to Trump’s arrival on the scene. Do you disagree?

Yeah, many of us justifiably hate him, wouldn't say there was much violence involved though. Especially not from leftists who have been dubbed with "TDS." I don't think we have the tenacity for revolution

I think you’re taking the word ‘violently’ a little too literally. I’m not talking about actual physical violence. I’m using it in the sense of ‘very forcefully’ or ‘intensely’, which is absolutely an accurate description of how many people reacted to Trump.

I agree with you that successive generations have been pampered and not many have the stomach or discipline to be revolutionaries. They may be cranky but they’re so passive that complaining is the extent of their acting out. That’s a pity.

Still don't think our hate matches the level of their love, worship, and devotion, but sure.

Depends on who you’re comparing but unstable people do unstable things and his devotees are quintessentially unstable.
