      Its been happening increasingly though, and I truly fear because while you might sometimes be able to tell, on average, people arent, and the owners are therefore able to control a significant proportion of the population.

      I truly believe like 30% of the population focus on making life worse for others, 20 percent want things to generally be better, and 50 percent are just blowing in the breeze with a mildly positive on average take.

      If they can get that 50% to think that the common opinion is hateful and shitty, they’ll just adopt that thinking that its the path of least resistance.

      I don’t know how we combat that without bot armies of our own, while fighting on their home turfs as they own these platforms.

    From what I gather TDS is a real condition that kinda explains how trump can get away with everything but they proactively project the title onto their enemies.

    I’ve said it before and I stand by it. I would rather have TDS than worship a makeup wearing, convicted felon that raped children and women of age for that matter, bankrupted every business he touched and most likely participated in human trafficking. But, sure, I’m the one with TDS.

      I don’t even get why they chose TDS. I like most people assumed it meant Trump supporters being deranged when they first saw it. Not the smartest choice to choose a phrase that requires them to explain they don’t mean them.

        I’m really starting to think that naming it TDS was the purest form of projection, in that they (at least the ones not in the “know”) literally don’t recognize in themselves that they are almost objectively more deranged than someone standing their ground against trump and all the people behind/above him in this weird little worldwide pyramid scheme of shit shams and shame.

        Basically, every damn thing is projection.

        Also, at what point is targeted psychological manipulation (including echo chambering, rabbit holing, generally radicalizing) via news, forums, feeds (every kind of social media) from companies fueled by bad actors finally considered a psy-op?

        We all know that some of our previously normal dads and somewhat rational cousins didn’t get sucked into the misdirected hate machine all on their own.

        I look forward to learning the codename someday.

        That one thing really encapsulates the crux of their ideology doesn’t it? In their worldview they couldn’t possibly be the deranged one

    I see a Vet who lost his house, is in the process of losing his healthcare, and just feels like he needs a win on the bad investment he’s doubling down on.

      Then he should probably learn pattern recognition. I really have no sympathy for people who get screwed over again and again by the same person and don’t seem to understand why. Especially when they try to act like they like it, lol.

        I’m not saying he’s right, or good, just making an observation.

        It’s called coping. They can’t admit to themselves that they’ve been wrong.

    What is odd to me is that these same people would make fun of any other “fan swag”. If this was all Naruto or Star Wars merch, they would be making twitter posts about it.

    These are the same people who unironically freaked out about Obama wearing a tan suit and asking for brown mustard on his meal.

    Edit: apparently my autocorrect doesn’t think unironically is a word

    They can say that all they want as they starve and go into deeper poverty due to medical issues.

    These self proclaimed “manly men” are ironically the biggest Trump worshipping cuckholds.
