ODS - Obama Derangement Syndrome

[Some Schmo]

Obama is booked for Colbert's final show, just to piss off MAGA (well, probably not specifically for that reason, but we all know it will piss off MAGA) because MAGA has Obama Derangement Syndrome. They actually are irrationally hateful toward our former president for delusional reasons. It's the all-too-familiar pattern of MAGAte projection accusing people of TDS when they codified mass delusional hatred themselves.

Anyway, I only started this thread because I'm sick of seeing "TDS" in the forum's thread list without the appropriate response to it, ODS (odious), which is that Trump voters have been the deranged ones for damned years now, and that's the thread that needs to exist. That's what people should be talking about. MAGAtes are clearly the deranged ones. damned fruitcakes, really.

Just to expand on the original idea, isn't it just a tad strange that Trump and MAGAtes are still talking about Obama? Like, what the “F” is up with that obsession? It's 10 years after he left office, and they think he is still pulling strings. They must secretly respect him, making them hate him more. Are they simply pissed that a black man is one of the more respected and revered presidents in American history? Probably.

When you consider just how incredibly incompetent Trump is compared with the significant achievements of the Obama administration, I suppose MAGAtes are so butthurt over it they can't actually get over it. So they pretend Trump is better when it's obvious to a dog that Trump is a screwup. The white racist with the silver spoon shoved up his ass can't compete with the smart black guy that came up from humble beginnings, and it drives them damned crazy.

No wonder they're deranged.

Yes, but are we really sure he is an American citizen since his father was Kenyan? Just cause we have the short form and long form of his Hawaiian birth certificate? Just cause his mom was an American we can't be sure.

If I had a time machine and I could only slightly alter one event it would be to stop Obama from making jokes about Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner. That really seems to be the catalyst for Trump's ODS.

I can't blame Trump for running. He's too stupid to know better. I blame the morons who voted for him.

ODS: believing that Obamacare is an abomination while feeling scared something might happen to the Affordable Care Act.

Just to expand on the point here, I don't think Trump's ODS works as a political strategy without all of his idiot fans also having the same irrational outlook. He doesn't get elected unless his fans are just as damned stupid and irrational about reality as he is.

Undoubtedly, the whole usage in politics was Bush derangement syndrome for people bringing up completely backed and sourced criticism of Bush and his policies and Bush’s supporters had no response. ODS is not just Trump. It clearly was a bunch of racists who were threatened by a black man being president. Trump had it and exploited it for his own profit by stoking the fires.

MAGAtes are currently losing their crap over Obama visiting the Prime Minister of Canada.

idiots.

Probably has something to do with Canadians actually liking Obama and knowing Trump is a moron.

Canada appears to me to be hedging its bets. So far as I understand it, it is maintaining cooperation with the U.S. where it is necessary. But it also is simultaneously deepening ties with Europe and Ukraine because it no longer sees Washington as fully predictable or stable under Trump. Did you hear that the Donald now thinks Venezuela should become the 51st state?! The man is certifiably insane I tell you.

The man is certifiably insane I tell you.

Absolutely agree.
