Is it possible I found the cure for TDS?

[Kishkumen]

Let me give you an analogy that fits extremely well, in my opinion. Think about a very devout Mormon. How do most Mormons end up leaving Mormonism - or at least becoming less convinced that Mormonism is 100% true? How do they become willing to accept that there is a possibility that they have been in a cult? These things are very challenges for human beings. In my mind, the only thing that will work is to gently place a pebble in their shoe and move on (most other methods will result in putting them in a defensive position resulting in an immediate attack posture).

This process (curing TDS) comes with personal pain - it comes with the distinct possibility that you will lose something that is very valuable and important to most human beings - community, and perhaps more importantly, belonging. Lastly, I would suggest that these things take time - this is not a moment in time where the lightbulb flips on - It's a lengthy process (For some, lengthier than others) and it's complex - and, unfortunately, it will create various levels of personal pain for anyone who ends up breaking free.

LOL. OK. Well, we know that there is a large community of those who are members of the Trump cult, including many LDS Trump cultists. Looks to me like anyone who sold their souls to join that cult would not have much of a price to pay in lost sociality, unless, once having had a mind and a soul, they find their new community so inhospitable it would be better to be alone.

Kish- should you be one of the fortunate ones - breaking free at some point down the road - I sincerely hope that your pain, however it comes, is tolerable and short-lived.

I don't think Kish is ever going to join you Ceeboo, I don't think he derives any pleasure from watching brown people suffer, and I don't think he wants to dismantle a democracy either.

Most folks on the Trump Train seem unable or unwilling to articulate why they wanted him in office, so I’m not sure how any one of them would craft a convincing and logical argument to others for joining that train.

I wasn't asking Kish to join me - I was encouraging a path that would go a long way to setting the mind free.

Your above post is the result of a mind that is in bondage. You can set your mind free, if you choose to do the uncomfortable and challenging work. It is entirely up to you.

I do not like Trump. Some people like Hound dog and ceeboo talk as if that means there is something wrong with me like I awoke and found I had become a Marxist. I cannot find a Marxist in me and nobody explains how I am such a thing.

Somehow I do not think diagnosing me as ill is going to help me like Trump. Perhaps explaining how to like him ...a reason perhaps could help.

Can you point out a single time that I suggested you suffered from TDS? Can you provide a single example that would support you above claim that I called you a marxist?

Secured the border.

Help?

Ceeboo, I was generalizing, perhaps not entirely fair to you, sorry. I may not be entirely sure what people mean by TDS. I find myself thinking that I do not like Trump but do not feel deranged so am unsure where I fit.

Closing the boarder? Some success by mixed means some of which has been revolting. I am inclined to think the bill he asked to be rejected started a better path but I certainly cannot say for sure. I can say for sure I want people treated with more respect

Ceeboo, I wish you at all times love and joy. I have no other thought for you. I don’t care about your politics.

I thought you used my name, directly. Perhaps I need to have my eyes checked.

perhaps not entirely fair to you, sorry.

Your apology is accepted, without hesitation.

I find myself thinking that I do not like Trump

There are millions of American citizens that do not like Trump (millions who didn't like him and cast their vote for him) - Not liking him has nothing to do with TDS.

Closing the boarder? Some success

Some success? He has completely secured the border. Now, all he has to do is try to handle what he has inherited - an unimaginably difficult mess that America will be dealing with for years, if not decades, to come.
