Trumplings accuse leftists who accuse Trump of being a criminal and a rapist of having TDS, so no reason why I can't accuse you of having ODS based on that thread.

Or at least I thought I did.

I just Googled it and discovered it has been in the Urban Dictionary since 2012:

Here's an article on it in The Economist from all the way back in 2009:
https://www.economist.com/node/13496418/comments?page=1

So the Trump fans who think they are being clever by accusing Trump haters as having TDS are not being clever. They're actually copycats.
BDS preceded either of them.

looks like the obamabots were the copycats

...he ironically says as the first page of threads on this forum has a negative one titled "remember when Obama was President".

Right Wing nuts couldn't be more delusional about who had more deranged hatred, especially when you consider what the actual hatred is based on.

Yeah I noticed that too.

There were also the Clinton Crazies which is the same thing, it's just that they hadn't come up with the "derangement syndrome" term yet.

In 2001 I was critical of President Bush for his war in Iraq. No problem with Afghanistan and the search for Bin Laden but anyways --- I was told repeatedly (usually by conservatives) that it is rude and unpatriotic to criticize a President.

Then Obama became President and those same people went full on ugly, nasty. They not only insulted him and his policies, but implied black people had chips on their shoulders because THEY now had a black president.

I had one really good friend who said she can't be happy at all because President Obama was in office.

It was nuts.

So -- yes -- it existed before Trump. Social media and Trump's character -- his constant tweeting nonsense, lies, hyperbole feeds the beast.

Again -- I see this attack on Trump from all political ideologies. It isn't just those wacky leftist Democrats......some die hard conservatives can't seem to get on board with the guy.

They will still vote for him because they want Republican policies and he's Republican -- but man -- they mock, laugh, comment on everything little thing -- just like the Democrats.

Of course social media magnifies the issue.

You can be sure the next Democrat President will be faced with the same syndrome.

Every time you use the term "grifter" a left wing angel gets her wings.

Here you go. This is just a teeny tiny sample ...

Before the election you had at least one CD poster suggest Obama was the anti-Christ:
07-12-2008 - Obama the anti-Christ? These people think so

Just before the 2008 election, here is somebody basically panicking over the prospect of an Obama presidency. Severe case of ODS. Panicking, crying, utter, sheer desperation:
11-04-2008 - PLEASE don't vote for Obama!!!

Here is nononsenseguy clearly exhibiting a sad case of ODS just after the election:
11-09-2008 - Change? What change? This is the Clinton administration revisited, only 100 times worse.

Here is a conservative, after the 2008 election, clearly afraid and pissed off and trying to tell everyone that the 2008 election was the end of the US republic. Classic ODS.
12-02-2008 - Is the Republic dead?

Those above are just in the OP's. Dig into some of the comments in some other threads and there are numerous examples of ODS. Thousands. For example:
11-05-2008 - Why are republicans so paranoid?...
Quote:
We're not paranoid, we're terrified. This will embolden all our enemies and we will suffer.
And of course, before he was even inaugurated there were plenty of people here proclaiming imminent disaster. Classic ODS:
11-11-2008 - Bend Over......here it comes?
Quote:
Most Americans didn't take the time to research what an Obama Presidency would do to their personal finances.......well bend over .....here comes the biggest overall tax increase ever. You got what you voted for.
OBAMA MUST BE STOPPED!!
Of course there was no biggest tax increase ever. Classic Obama paranoia.

Now if THIS isn't a sore loser, I don't know what is:
11-11-2008 - The "Dim" future...
Quote:
Fellow Business Executives:

As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama will be our next President, and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Clients will have to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8% but since we cannot increase our fees right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose
who will have to go.

So, this is what I did. I strolled thru our parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. These folks wanted change; I gave it to them....
And so on, and so forth, ad infinitum. Notice those are mostly from just one month (11/08) plus one from December and one from July 2008, and they were just in the elections section. Each and every one of them exhibiting classic ODS symptoms. And I didn't even begin to finish November of that year. I could literally spend months combing through just the elections section finding thousands of instances of ODS. Just in his first term.

You're really sad if you thought I couldn't or wouldn't find many many cases of ODS. This whole forum is filled with them, going up to today.

And from this one, I just noticed this .. really really ironic!

You may believe that it's incomprehensible that something like rape might be seen as okay at some point in the future... but realize this: 1) There are plenty of people all around the world who believe rape is okay. ...
I wonder if that guy voted for Trump.
