It's funny how people become irrational whenever Trump or this admin is involved. Could this 'immune response' be clouding their thoughts in a way that actually harms their own interests, paradoxically advantaging the 'other side' they seem to fear/dislike?
I have a theory that Trump-hatred (or TDS) is primarily an expression of Boomer values from a majority of the Boomer demographic. Trump seeks to advance the current and future US generations, and Boomers want to maintain their perception of their own socioeconomic dominance, at the cost of all others and all subsequent generations, in a world whose advances they are jealous of. This is then propagated into the coddled or suppressed adult children of Boomers, who then implicitly adopt and express the TDS of their parents, for the draw/inheritance or just the approval - even tho it goes against their own interests!

you're not wrong at all. but then you also have to remember both parties work the exact same way with different colors.
you're right about both the other side as well as about yourself in exactly the same way.
it's not even projection, it's literary the same thing. you could describe yourself and all other t supporters with your text above and change one or two words to account for the color change. but the important parts remain static.
communityless American delusion is wild.

Did you bother to read the background stories?
Labeling criticism of Trump, hyperbolic sometimes sure, as a mental health disorder is extremely cult like behavior. Like North Korean level indoctrination.

Based on your donations to the Trump administration. Pardons for < $1m! It's a deal! Or, weirdly, if you have a pretty young blonde daughter.
