MAGA folks are just DUMB. Proudly so. And STUPID, proudly so. They show it over and over in these threads. I am just amazed how they get dumber and more stupid as the days go by.

And Marxists have taken over the Democrat party, which is always a disaster

You love to use that word and brandish it as some kind of horrific insult. Please tell us WHY you believe "Marxists" are involved here...and just how it supports the topic that the Dems are "Domestic Enemies of the USA."

To paraphrase what someone said a short time ago when you used it...I do not believe that word means what you think it means.

(and I predict that there will be no answer...again)

Yeah, it is a pretty lame ass Straw man argument. It's like the immature shit my sons do when they're messing with their little sister. She falls for their games and then whines to me about her brothers teasing her. I just look at her and smile and say, "there is nothing wrong with just ignoring them."

In this case, Trump was simply playing a different version of the childish setup game. Dems were wise not to play along with that senile immature twat. Trump is an insincere fool. There was nothing to be gained from falling for that trap/crap.

It's not really surprising when you look at how they cling to anything that let's them believe in their cult leader.

If you've ever been publicly critical of Donald Trump, you've probably been accused of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" by his followers. But what if that phrase actually reveals more about the movement using it than the people it's aimed at? A peer-reviewed study by Franks and Hesami (2021) set out to test this exact claim: that critics of Trump suffer from an irrational hostility that prevents objective thinking, "TDS". Across multiple experiments, the researchers examined whether political bias toward Trump is symmetrical, meaning, whether both supporters and critics distort information in similar ways. Their findings suggest otherwise.

Trump's detractors did not show consistent patterns of reflexive opposition. In fact, they tended to evaluate statements more independently of Trump's involvement. By contrast, Trump supporters were significantly more likely to shift their views depending on whether they believed Trump held a particular position, even when that position contradicted their previous beliefs. In one experiment, participants adjusted their stance on voting procedures depending on whether the outcome favored Trump, revealing a willingness to reinterpret even democratic norms in light of loyalty. Yes, supporters would cheat in elections to get Trump back in office.

In other words, the evidence does not support the idea that critics are uniquely "deranged". Instead, it points to an asymmetry of loyalty in supporters, where allegiance to the leader can outweigh consistency, evidence, and even previously held convictions. That should give us pause. Because "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is real, but not in the way it's commonly used. It's not primarily about people who are too critical. It's about a system that trains people to dismiss critique altogether when it threatens loyalty. When disagreement is labeled as derangement, you no longer have to engage the argument. You can ignore the evidence. You can protect the narrative.

Think of how we are watching this play out in real time. Donald Trump has been convicted on 34 felony counts in New York, and independent fact-checking organizations have documented tens of thousands of false or misleading claims during his public life. He has also been found liable for sexual abuse and defamation in civil court, and his name appears thousands of times in the Epstein Files, even after heavy redactions by his DOJ. Yet allegiance among his core supporters has remained remarkably stable. And once that pattern takes hold, real derangement sets in. Truth is no longer something we test and evaluate in light of evidence. It becomes something we defend for our side.

Facts are no longer evaluated on their merits; they are filtered through identity. If it helps our team, it's true enough. If it challenges us, it must be biased, corrupt, or fake. At that point, you're no longer arguing about ideas. You're protecting a distorted reality. That's why fact-checking so often fails. It assumes people are asking, "Is this true"? But in many cases, the deeper question has already been decided: "Is this loyal"? And when loyalty becomes the standard, truth becomes negotiable. This is the real derangement. And it is dangerous. Trump's followers would tear up and trample upon the Constitution if they felt that was the loyal thing to do. Their loyalty is to Trump no matter what. And not the law of the land.

You see, they can't change their minds. Their entire identity and social circle is caught up in the fact that if they don't stay committed they'll be ostracized from the rest of the misguided group.
