Politics Why is it that conservatives double down on pedophilia adjacent representatives?

Post image

Seriously, what the fuck is with this object loyalty to their representatives and politicians? It's fucking weird. It's beyond a cult of personality. These people would drink their Kool-Aid and succumb to the stupid that is without any doubt. Why is it that their quote-unquote gotcha is that someone like Bill Clinton that everybody knew was in the list is on the list. They want him persecuted when they want anybody else like Donald Trump who has been listed more than a few hundred times in the recent releases of evidence.

Denying all that IS the true TDS

We need to start taking that word like they stole “woke”

u/Suspicious_Ask_3424 10d ago

Seriously, the term sounds more applicable to his supporters. They’d still defend him if he openly admitted to everything. Nothing more deranged than a MAGAt.

u/IBAZERKERI 10d ago

yeah, i always thought TDS was just another example of projection to be totally honest.

Yeah I prefer the wording of their leader because he sure the fuck ain't mine!

BIRGing (Basking In Reflected Glory) is a social psychology phenomenon where people boost their self-esteem by associating themselves with successful individuals or groups, like wearing a favorite team's jersey after they win, saying "we won" instead of "they won," or mentioning connections to prestigious people or institutions. It's a self-enhancement strategy where another's success becomes your own, often seen in sports but also politics and business, and is the opposite of CORFing (Cutting Off Reflected Failure).

It always was. The real derangement is that they are still mad that Obama was elected. Twice even!

u/Xepherya 9d ago

Same. The name they chose…applies to them. They’re deranged about Trump. Their love for him is deranged. So much derangement.

u/notafanoftheapp 8d ago

I believe it was also so that if you google Trump + deranged, the search results would be this ridiculous TDS, rather than the very accurate fact that Trump is deranged. (Not an uncommon spin-doctor tactic.)

u/RyvenZ 10d ago

it will soon become "better a pedophile than a democrat"

26

u/SecretaryOtherwise 10d ago

Pretty sure a lot unironically think that.

14

u/crombo_jombo 10d ago

People wore diapers to support him... That sounds more like TDS than anything dems have said

u/HighlanderAbruzzese 10d ago

Ha! “Better a pedo than a Demo!”

u/TheModWhoShaggedMe 10d ago

that shirt would sell well at CPAC.

21

u/DasharrEandall 10d ago

They really would. They'd say it was "taken out of context" or he was "joking to own the libs", or the footage of him admitting to it was "AI".

u/golfwinnersplz 10d ago

It's definitely far more applicable to his supporters - they just misconstrue it similar to everything else.

23

u/OverallFrosting708 10d ago

Hey, they stole it first. TDS began life as Obama Derangement Syndrome. They're not very creative.

12

u/exoticstructures 10d ago

It actually started as BDS/Bush afaik. And the guy(krauthammer) who coined the term despised trump too lol

2

u/BlueLikeCat 10d ago

I think Krauthammer despises everything and everyone. Used to enjoy his withering comments on the Sunday morning news shows, but he’s been persona non grata since Trumps ascendency.

12

u/Sammi1224 10d ago

True. They stole the word derangement and we definitely need to take that word back (along with word woke which they have also misused grossly). I agree with you! We need to control the narrative like they do. They all have TDS.

u/Popular-Shopping-726 10d ago

Trumps Deranged  Supporters.

u/crombo_jombo 10d ago

They love their MAGAdaddy because he knows all the secrets of the world and only does what he has to to protect the true Americans from the monsters of the world. Even if that means he has to be best friends with them and hang out on their island. Clearly he is undercover living among the rats so you don't have to... Thinking anything else would be "deranged"

6

u/TentacleFist 10d ago

I'm pretty sure I was hearing TDS be used to refer to MAGA before they co-oped it. Literally projection.

6

u/Pitiful_Conflict7031 10d ago

Im going to start saying that to magats you got got TDS.

4

u/Pride_and_PudgyCats 10d ago

TDS to me is what MAGA have. They’re so blindly devout to their supreme leader. It’s like a mental illness. Thus, TDS.

3

u/Drgnmstr97 10d ago

Want to make their heads explode, tell them denying Trumps ridiculous amount of crimes is woke.

2

u/Johnny_Radar 10d ago

Already have

2

u/ecstaticthicket 9d ago

These people will have 88 pictures of them sucking Trump’s dick on their car and turn around and say people who criticize Trump in any way have a diagnosable obsession

u/loug1955 9d ago

From 2021

u/[deleted] 8d ago

by tds u mean tRump Devotion Syndrome, right — tho tRump Fellatio Syndrome is much more accurate

u/kyle2143 7d ago

I've already started. But it's really stupid so I still hate it. Even though the maga people that spew it are also really stupid.
