Exactly. It never made sense to me. It clearly described them more than his opponents.
Comment on The Guy Claiming That You Have TDS
stardust@lemmy.ca 2 days agoI don’t even get why they chose TDS. I like most people assumed it meant Trump supporters being deranged when they first saw it. Not the smartest choise to choose a phrase that requires them to explain they don’t mean them.

Every republican accusation is a confession.

That one thing really encapsulates the crux of their ideology doesn’t it? In their worldview they couldn’t possibly be the deranged one

I’m really starting to think that naming it TDS was the purest form of projection, in that they (at least the ones not in the “know”) literally don’t recognize in themselves that they are almost objectively more deranged than someone standing their ground against trump and all the people behind/above him in this weird little worldwide pyramid scheme of shit shams and shame.
Basically, every damn thing is projection.
Also, at what point is targeted psychological manipulation (including echo chambering, rabbit holing, generally radicalizing) via news, forums, feeds (every kind of social media) from companies fueled by bad actors finally considered a psy-op?
We all know that some of our previously normal dads and somewhat rational cousins didn’t get sucked into the misdirected hate machine all on their own.
I look forward to learning the codename someday.
