And that’s basically it!
Unless real doctors accept this as a real illness, it's just politicians jerking off.
Psychology and psychiatry as professions unfortunately include people who believe that any deviation from what they personally consider “normal” is illness. There’s a very strong influence from shitstains like Dr Laura and Dr Phil on practitioners, and there are definitely some who’d like to punish political beliefs they disagree with.
Conservatives are wild. I don’t know if they intentionally do it but their behavior is absurd. Obsessed with Obama’s birth certificate, LeTs Go BrAnDoN, and even super whacky shit like QAnon and trying to prove Michelle Obama is a man. They hate “mainstream media” yet Fox News is one of the biggest networks. They’re all about merit yet discount anything AOC says, who’s smart and studied, because she bartended. And now they want to turn the tables, claim they are and have always been normal, and it’s people who disapprove of Trump who are deranged. It makes no sense.
They're just mindless, is all. Formless, pliable.
Changnesia is REAL!!!
As a german: this is 1:1 the 3rd Reich playbook.
Stop it as long as you can!
Yes, hating Trump is deranged, but this was not: 
Anyone ever see one of these with Trump?
Btw, I got this simply from searching “Biden truck decal”. I got no negative top results searching Trump instead of Biden. In fact, this is the best one I got from adding anti- in front of Trump in the search (with relevant double-standard caption included): 
So tell me again, who is deranged?
Arrested for exercising free speech. You must be proud, boy.
It was the wrong kind of free speech, you see.
When I first heard of TDS I thought it was about his deranged stans and I thought that made sense.
Then I was told it was about all the people who lost their minds because of his election and defined themselves purely oppositionally to him, and I thought that made sense.
Then I observed that it's really just used as a slur against anyone who doesn't like him or his policies, and that makes sense too because that's the ultimate death of every social critique that ends up promulgated by conservatives.
It's always projection with those assholes.
