A Case Study in Stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome
American Thinker ^ | 4 Jan, 2024 | John Green

Posted on 01/07/2024 4:26:08 AM PST by MtnClimber

Our epidemic of TDS does not appear to be abating. Here is a frightening example.

Our epidemic of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) does not appear to be abating, and Big Pharma hasn’t developed an mRNA vaccine for it yet. Those employed in government, academia, media, and medicine seem to be at highest risk.

Robert Reich is a case in point. He was Bill Clinton’s secretary of labor, and he’s currently a professor of public policy at Berkeley — giving him two TDS risk factors. He recently published an article in The Guardian entitled “Here are 10 new year resolutions for saving American democracy.” It illustrates the devastating effects of TDS. Without getting into the whole “we’re a republic, not a democracy” debate, let’s examine what Reich considers the most critical actions for Americans to take [in bold] — followed by my humble commentary.

1. “Become a political activist to ensure Trump is not elected.”

Because we will not be a self-governed country if we choose the wrong person. Consult the Colorado Supreme Court for a list of democratically approved candidates.

2. “Do not succumb to the tempting anesthesia of complacency or cynicism. The stakes are too high.”

See number 1 above, and note that Donald Trump is up in the polls. Don’t sit out the next election no matter how depressing it is to vote for the incompetent, demented old guy in the Oval Office.

3. “Counter lies with truth.”

If you’re confused about which is which, anything said by a person in a red hat is a lie, and anything said by Adam Schiff is the truth. When in doubt, check your DNC talking points pamphlet.

4. “Do not tolerate bigotry and hate.”

The only DNC-approved targets of hate are Donald Trump, his followers, pro-life activists, supporters of Israel...

11. Don’t believe that communists want to save democracy. They want to steal your property, reduce you to slaves and kill anyone who objects.

“Consult the Colorado Supreme Court for a list of democratically approved candidates.”

Good to see that Reichhhh-ehhh now considers Trump an ‘approved candidate’, since Trump is on the Colorado ballot.

biden’s speech the other day is setting the tone for this years presidential campaign: angry, ranting, incoherent, vicious, anything-goes-to-stop-Trump.

It’s gonna get downright insane between now and November.

Only a short drop and quick stop will cure it.

A good example of the epidemic of TDS in California is note any local TV news they only report half of a story their half and never the facts true yellow journalism.

It’s why so many in California are ignorant about politics and keep voting democrat they get confused why things keep getting worse.

Lots of folks clamoring about concerning the 2024 election but the 2020 election has yet to be fully rectified to all American Patriots satisfaction.
