      If they mention TDS, just tell them you don’t have The Daily Show, since Paramount owns it.

      trump derangement syndrome

      Really thinking this should be codified by the DSM. The long term exposure to one of the dumbest people in the world intentionally mangling the truth daily, with zero ability to escape - unless you want to ignore the travesties and cruelty his policies bring - does cause mental anguish in a way I think most people in the US have never experienced; a decade plus of psyops lying and telling you it’s truth, all driven by a deranged moron…

      If he were nobody, it wouldn’t matter a whit. Letting the moron drive the bus over the cliff while shouting “actually, everything is fine” over the speakers is simply insulting. Trump’s deranged bullshit inflicted on the country certainly seems like something sociologists and psychologists should study in great detail.

      I love when they start throwing around “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as an insult, and Lefties don’t get insulted at all, because it is apparent to EVERYONE that it describes MAGAs far more accurately than their enemies.

      They prove their virtuosic incompetence every day, and their complete lack of self-awareness is hilarious. Ironically, the people that should wrestle with Imposter Syndrome every day, have absolutely none of it.

        Yeah but with these lot it’s always a “the call is coming from inside the house” situation. It’s all about projection.

      From the unfortunate conversations I’ve had with a friend who leans in these directions, they see him as sticking it to establishment and willing to express attitudes they felt ashamed to express previously. Plus they are just dumb as fuck and Trump’s utter nonsense takes on politics which conveniently leaves out complexity appeals to them – things like “the economy isn’t doing very well and the reason is immigrants” makes it simple for their underdeveloped reasoning skills.

        Gross. The economy and immigration are generally unrelated issues

          Well that’s just not true, immigration is great for the economy in terms of GDP because more workers make numbers go up and bad for “the economy” in terms of deflating local wages.

          It’s a complicated balance but they’re certainly not unrelated.

            I think the housing crisis or cost of living crisis is mostly unrelated to bad immigration regulation, but that’s still a small factor.

            Immigration when done correctly is great, of course you have to consider ensuring local people are employed first and you are filling in needed gaps or creating more business and employment in general

              The population increase over the last 26 years has almost exclusively been from people having kids. Immigration accounts for less than 5% over that period. So yeah the housing crisis has literally nothing to do with immigrants.

                That’s dishonest, you’re framing it like breeding is the problem. The problem is that not enough houses are being built.

        It is actually simple though, the economy isn’t doing well and the reason is the super rich. We could drill down and refine that, but the rich being the problem is not an incorrect statement by any means, and just as easy to understand.

        Point being, we know people are stupid, and the president is the only one that looks like he’s fighting. That calls out villains and promises to do something about it. Either we get someone to do that for real, or we will get fake populists scapegoating others, and likely trying to take absolute power and kill democracy, such as it remains.

      Steering’s on the right, people look British, pavement looks British, graveyard looks British, and “it is what it is” is a common trite, tautological idiom in the UK.

      That makes their neon crucifix in the windscreen illegal and likely to get them noticed by police.

      Edit: did some sleuthing; it’s outside All Saints Church on Church Road in Crowborough, East Sussex. Car is parked just west of the lychgate; photographer is looking north.

        I never noticed the crucifixion in the front… also is that the counter strike terrorist on the back windshield?

    He’s so up himself that, in his head, he’s translated the jeers and sneers of people he drives past as, “What a great guy!”

    Vroom

    “Fuck off, you racist wanker!”

    “Thank you, I am good in bed!”
