The idiocy involved with Trump Derangement Syndrome knows no bounds.
And in fact there may be no words to adequately describe it.
Since stupid people have a negative effect on everyone’s life, I’ve never suffered fools gladly. I’ve also commented here before that I realized long ago that there is no limit to human stupidity. Unfortunately, Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is basically my realization on steroids.
With the full on Banana Republic mimicking Mar-A-Lago raid being yet another left wing effort to punish and destroy Trump, it appears as though the corrupt left wingers in the Department of “Justice” and the FBI underestimated how bad the backlash would be.
So of course the left wing media talking points quickly included “Trump had Top Secret info!!” and “Trump had nuclear codes!!!” Now of course if you’ve got even one tenth of a brain or more, with the nuclear codes claim you would immediately know that Trump having nuclear codes would be useless to him or anyone else associated with him. He would have zero ability to launch nukes, and of course those codes get changed on a regular basis.
If you’re a brain dead liberal idiot, however, you’ll go on Twatter or FascistBook or wherever and comment for the 10,000th time about how bad the orange man is, as you talk about him having nuclear codes and him having committed all kinds of crimes including treason. (Meanwhile you’re fine with a completely senile corrupt old pervert having access to actual nuclear missile launch capability, but that’s beyond the scope of this post.) You will have no memory of, or will somehow bizarrely fail to grasp the extremely long list of lies that left wing media has already told you, as you swallow this new one hook, line, and sinker:
Trump colluded with Russia.
The Steele “dossier” contained legitimate information that could be used against Trump to blackmail him, and of course Hillary Clinton’s campaign had nothing to do with it.
Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation.
The Russians had bounties on U.S. soldiers and Trump did nothing about it.
Trump praised Nazis in Charlottesville.
Hillary Clinton deleting 33,000 or more emails, smashing cell phones with hammers, and using a personal server was all perfectly legitimate.
Corona is dangerous to young people and even young kids.
Left wing protesters were not spreading Corona, because they were virtuous or something.
The Corona “vaccines” will keep you from getting sick and from spreading Corona.
Cloth and other leaky masks can stop airborne viruses and protect you from Corona.
The Corona “vaccines” are perfectly safe.
Corona lockdowns saved lives.
Little fascist twit Fauci changing his tune over and over again was “science”.
Trump told people to drink bleach.
The inflation that started under Biden in 2021 was “transitory” or “temporary”.
Biden is mentally competent and in charge.
Biden is not corrupt. His crackhead son with zero skills being paid millions of dollars by companies in China and Ukraine has nothing to do with influencing Joe Biden so that Hoe Biden will do their bidding, and Joe Biden has not profited from Hunter’s business dealings.
It’s perfectly normal for old men to sniff and grope women and little girls in public. (And private, including showering with his young daughter.)
January 6th was an “insurrection” and a threat to democracy.
Lockdowns violating the Bill Of Rights out the wazoo were actually constitutional and perfectly fine.
People wearing black military garb, masking their faces, and violently physically attacking their political opponents to try and silence them are “anti-fascists” and not actual fascists.
Asian hate crimes are perpetrated by white supremacist Trump supporters.
Parents wanting to stop pedophiles and racists from harming their children in the school system are “extremists” and even “terrorists”.
Men can become women and it’s not at all detrimental to female athletes when men pretending to be women are allowed to compete against actual women.
I could go on and on and on. The list of blatant lies and other crap that left wingers believed and still believe, that has been proven to be blatant lies, is practically endless. There are lists and/or commentaries here, here, here, and here.
As I pondered the level of extreme stupidity required to keep believing the lies, and considered ways to try and adequately explain it, the best thing I could think of was the old lie of “the check is in the mail”. Imagine you loaned someone a decent sum of money about 8 years ago, and for the past seven years, every couple weeks or so, you’ve been calling that someone to ask where the money is. Each time, the response you get is “The check is in the mail”.
Of course the check has never shown up after each of those 200 or so times you were told it was in the mail. If you’re a left winger with TDS, when you get off the phone each time, you tell everyone how you’re getting paid. You might post about it online to let everyone know that you will be getting your money within a couple days when the check gets to your mailbox. You are so incredibly stupid that you keep believing the lie, no matter now many times it turns out to be false. You keep believing the same lying liar.
That’s the best explanation I’ve got. I’m open to suggestions to describe left wingers’ mental problems in some better way.
