Since the election last November, it has not been hard to see the people who have been affected by it the most. It has been those so inured into the mainstream left. So sunken into the matrix that they built around us.
It was bad right after the election. But since Trump took office, those worst affected have truly burst the nutz balloon.
Unfortunately, I have more than a few close to me. That I interact with every day. Who I have to walk that horribly thin line between reality and their dysphoria.
It is little occasions. Like during the weather when the talking heads will blame the conditions on Climate Change. Or watching a talk show and the glitterati will be talking about the poor children who are getting deported. Or God help us, when the Democrats have their nightly interviews on CBS or NBC or ABC or CNN (you know, what they call “The News”). Or just the mention of Trump.
It is at times like these I must censor myself. I have to keep my mouth shut. Else the fights begin. And I hate censoring myself. Thankfully I have my blog, and none of them bother to read it.
But anyways, I have encountered a number of especially insightful meme articles while doomscrolling on Zuckerbook. They capture the essence of the dysphoria we are seeing in world today. I will share them over the next few days with some commentary of my own. I invite everyone to share them if you have the opportunity, especially if you can use them as a teaching moment (or you just want to piss one of them off).
I am including them in their entirely, because I did not write them and they made me laugh. Someone wrote them and I do not know who.
You have TDS if
I always thought Trump Derangement Syndrome was just a joke to poke fun at people who hate the man. But it is real. You have TDS if you:
– Stopped talking to a close family member or long time friend for voting for him without listening to their reasoning.
– If you truly believe the majority of Americans voted for him because we want racism and misogyny to rule the land
– If you are incapable of naming one positive thing the man has done or is doing in spite of how you feel about him
– If you are running around like a five year old hollerin’ “I told you so” to people who clearly don’t regret their vote.
– If you can’t appreciate the fact that the man has opened the books and showed you how the government takes money that should be used to help YOU, and wastes it on gender affirming care for lab mice.
– If you aren’t the slightest bit angry about that.
– If you are actually praying for him to die or fail.
– If you reduce people’s logic reason for voting for the man to a longing for bigotry to make a comeback.
– If you are still posting video of you “coping” with him winning a second term.
– If you actually believe he’s gonna do a third term.
– If you keep calling him and people who voted for him from all races, genders and sexual orientations Nazis
– If you are upset about him deporting dangerous criminal illegal migrants.
– If you are still using the “convicted felon” label, to dismiss the views of your loved ones (or former loved ones) knowing it was a weaponized sham of a trial that took misdemeanors that no one else would have been charged with and turned it into 34 felony counts during an election year.
– If you are saying Trump is guilty of crimes he was never criminally charged with. If an allegation with no evidence is all it takes to find someone guilty in your heart, then we are all guilty of something.
– If you love bringing up his sins, but somehow have a blind spot for the sins of his rivals and get upset when people share them with you (I’m a proud whataboutist.)
– if you are sterilizing yourselves because Trump won
There is so much more. I used to say “get some help” in light-hearted jest.
Now I’m dead serious. Get some help. If you have an issue with a policy of his, I’m happy to discuss. The other shit, I’m ignoring from now on. Go
