Why do Trump supporters act like TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is a mental illness?

[Anonymous]

It isn’t a mental illness.

There is zero credible medical or psychiatric organizations in the USA that classifies Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) as a mental illness.

You sound dumb. You are using and argument from authority logical fallacy. The opinion of your rabbi is not evidence to support an argument. You are starting from where you want to conclude. You assume your psychiatric organizations are the arbiters of truth because they say they are the truth. That is a statement of faith. It is circular reasoning. When observable patterns don't align with your religion you dismiss them as false because they do not line up with your religion's dogma. There is clearly a pattern of behavior by Trump detractors that is very real and observable. From an objective point of view it is real, regardless of what you want to call it.

beceuse anxiety is a mental illness treated with pills.

Typical projection. They are deranged cultworshippers and they think if they call everyone else deranged, it will distract everyone from it. They overused the term so much, they now have been brainwashed into believing it is something real!

[Snakeyes7]

It's not an official disorder. It's used to describe people who will do anything, even kill themselves or others if it means stopping Trump in the slightest.

Just look at how many deranged lunatics want to undo the fixing of the reflecting pool. Even cheering on the algae saying that they are doing more to stop "fascism" than anything else. There are even rumors of them snapping the necks of ducks that land in it.

Even if the last part isn't true, this is on the tame end of the spectrum for these lunatics.

There have been many psychiatrists that recognize it as a condition. Maybe soon it will be recognized as a mental illness. When you think about it, TDS sufferers really do act pretty insane.

It’s not a psychiatric condition.

[exitseven]

No it is not. Not yet anyway.

Because they have the gift of discernment. It has been called obsessive compulsive behavior. It has also been called mass hysteria. Their behavior is a lot like Nazi's supporters and Islamic jihadists. They have become radicalized.

TDS is every ill in the world is caused by DJT.

Angry response: "BUT Trump did this!"

[FrodoSkywalker007]

It's a mental illness, and most organizations are bought out. It's a sad reality.

[Asker]

It’s not a mental illness

[Cidknee]

It is a psychological disease, if you will. If you have it then it seems to be natural to deny it's existence. I see you are in denial about it.

[Cidknee]

Like pink anon there, she has a whole structure concocted about the thing. While there may be some "maga" that follow Trump cult like it isn't anyone i know personally that is like this.
The affects of TDS seem to be stronger in some.

[Asker]

please link me a reputable source stating that it’s a mental illness

[IamRight]

Because the people with TDS has a unnatural obsession with hating on Trump.

[DirtyOldMan777]

it's the only explanation that makes sense when liberals go bonkers over anything he does.

[fishbone77]
