    Guys, just steal this and use it to describe deranged Trump idiots. The right wing steals useful words like “fake news” and “groomer” and alters their meanings for political purposes all of the time. This one should be a layup because without reading into it everyone already thinks it’s the condition those everyday July 4th cosplay, big truck with tattered flags morons have.

    The smug childishness of a grade school bully who got you in trouble after you lost your shit and finally punched back. These assclowns are infuriating.

    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.

      All of that? That’s the point. That’s exactly how they want us to feel: confused, hurt, isolated. They will gladly say something incredibly hypocritical and then just smile a shit-eating grin when you call them out, because we both know there’s nothing that can be done short of violence and that’s when they’ve “won.”

      But in all honesty, violence actually is an answer, and a proper one to bullshit like this. I don’t give a fuck if you could call it assault if someone is literally taunting and threatening me when I haul off and beat their ass.

      Do it. Make them scared of violent revolution and reprisals.

      People keep posting that Sartre quote about anti-semites, but that’s the point.

      It’s not about the actions, it’s about who is doing them.

    I love how far I had to read before it was clear that it’s not what Trump has; it’s what people who disagree with him apparently have.

    Diseases are often named after their victims…

    Also, and this is buried in everything he is doing, but how arrogant do you have to be to assume that every person disagrees with him just because he’s Donald Trump, and not because there are valid concerns?

        Nah they know about it, let no conservative tell you their Christian. To be Christian is to aspire to be like Christ, very few self proclaimed Christiana can claim that

        They only read the clobber verses about killing gay men, and the shitty bits of Paul (much of which wasn’t even written by Paul).

        You can tell they don’t even read the Sodom and Gomorrah stuff, because they don’t know about Lot’s daughters getting their dad drunk to rape him, which is like immediately after.

    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.

    This will not pass in Minnesota. What a stupid bit of grandstanding and waste of taxpayer money.
