Trump Derangement Syndrome? You Bet!

Most of my posts here on Snowflakeland have been apolitical.  That's not going to change.  But today, I have to go with a political post, because finally, finally, a major media outlet is saying something I've been saying for months.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is real.  It's undeniable.  And the people suffering from it are Trumps supporters. 

Think about it.  Who claimed a world-threatening pandemic was a "hoax?"  Who claimed Bill Gates created the Coronavirus in order to force us all to take vaccinations that would implant nanochip tracking devices into our flesh?  Who claimed the Russian invasion of our election never happened, even though all our intelligence services AND a Republican-led Senate investigation said otherwise?

Trump supporters, that's who.  Because they will believe anything--except the truth.

As the L.A. Times quoted one reader:
https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-05-09/trump-derangement-syndrome-not-his-critics-readers
If someone would say, “That person is deranged — he says I can’t fly by flapping my arms, but I can,” we know which of the two is deranged.
So with that in mind, I do believe Trump Derangement Syndrome is real, just not the way that those who bandy it about believe.
Not being a psychiatrist or a psychologist, I cannot address the pathology of why some Trump supporters believe he is doing a great job and are desperate to have people say he is doing a great job when the factual evidence says otherwise.
These people are nuts.  Pure and simple.  And it's time we called out their derangement.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Image
Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
