I have a top-secret spy on the inside at the Discuss Mormonism Headquarters! Check out this sneaky snapshot they grabbed last week. It captures all the employees in a frenzy, brainstorming ways to keep us from posting on the discussion board.

TDS is totally a thing, and this picture is the ultimate evidence!

My undercover agent just slipped me the address for the top-secret DM Headquarters. You want me to share it with you so you can send one of your Magatol pallets straight to their door?

Without a doubt! TDS is as real as real gets.

I have never seen anything quite like it.

Really? I'd be curious to know how it substantially differs from (say) Hillary DS, Obama DS, or Biden DS.

I suppose that if a person found a reason to like Trump it would be easier to leave TDS.

Trump gives everyone plenty of reasons to think he's a screwup. Trump hate is how rational people react to an obvious Trump. That's what's different.

People use the BS acronym TDS like it's something real to provide cover for supporting a convicted rapist and obvious racist. They voted for a felon and tell themselves we're the deranged ones. damned lying assholes, Trump voters are.

I take comfort in knowing I didn't vote for a felonious sexual deviant like every damned Republican Trump voter did. Them telling me I'm deranged is a badge of honor, because projection is their only "defense."

Voting for Trump proves most Christians are liars. Jesus would not approve of Trump. If you think otherwise, you're a moron. Or you're lying to yourself. It's so obvious, even a moronic theist could understand it.

Well... you'd think so, anyway.

Just to set the record straight, I don't have TDS, I have TSDS. Trump is bad, but he's your standard corrupt politician for sale. Those willing to pay to play or throw themselves into his orbit to LARP are even worse. Trump wouldn't have put a shotgun to the face of his puppy and killed it like Christie Noem did. Of course, he wouldn't have had a puppy and he doesn't care that Christie Noem did such a thing, but you get the idea. In D&D terms, he's chaotic neutral. He's not aspiring to be Hitler. That would be Stephen Miller and the Heritage Foundation. Lawful Evil. And then the vast ignorance of his general supporters. It's hard for me to feel viscerally agitated by a guy who commits crimes in the open, says he can because his base loves it, and then his base loves it and so he does it more. It's kind of like the charismatic womanizer (not Trump or Hound) who uses and throws them away, yet women don't stop throwing themselves at him (not Trump or Hound). At a certain point, I almost say to myself, "I guess if you've got it, you've got it." And shrug. But the ignorance of the followers, that's harder for me to deal with psychologically. And I'm probably wrong. I should be less offended by the ignorance, and more offended by the dictatorial asperations and indifference to suffering. But that's how I'm wired. So TSDS for me. The TDS pills won't work.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.

I do experience an automatic negative reaction to Trump so that must be TDS. A cure would have to be discovering good things to like about him. He has an engaging smile when he wants but I need more substance than that.

I wish we could see more of the basic humanity Trump displays in this video: https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/crl0x0y0ew3o

This is Trump responding to a question from a reporter from Ukraine whose husband is a Ukrainian soldier. More of this and less of the all-caps tweets would be a good start to making him look less like a chaos monkey.

When you knowingly empower Evil, knowing that once Evil is empowered it’s going to do horrific crap, what does that make you? I think that makes you evil, with a small ‘e’. What Dump and his MAGAts are doing is obviously evil, they know it, we know it, they know we know it, and we know they know we know it, and they not don’t care; they revel it like pigs rolling around in crap and mud. They love it.
