People Deranged about Trump, Funny or Woeful?

We've all had a good laugh about the snowflake meltdowns over President Trump. (Not to exclude the fake news media, establishment anti-Trumpers and others.) I mean, who can forget this lady's reaction to President Trump's inauguration?

But there's an element of pathos mixed with danger that goes deeper. You can see it once the funny part dies down. This lady is near a psychotic break. For real. She's on the verge of losing her marbles and needing interment in a psychiatric ward. Look at how her hands shake near the end of the video, for example.

This intensity and insanity hasn't stopped among lots of Trump haters after two years.

Look at the latest example:

The employee got fired, see here:

UPDATE: XHALE City Vape Shop FIRES Racist Trump-Hating Liberal After SCREECHING MELTDOWN CAUGHT ON VIDEO

btw - The thumbnail in the video is the victim, not the perpetrator. And the thumbnail is not misleading, the Trump-supporting victim was amused.

The guy below is the disturbed person in the throes of his hatred:

12.29.2018-14.07.png

Sorry about the blur. That's a screen capture from the video. But even that image doesn't show the level of hysteria he displayed. You have to see the video and hear him to believe it. The level of psychosis in his reaction is scary.

This is not sane.

And, like clockwork, Big Data-Brother is stepping in so you won't be able to see things for yourself. The Facebook page is already down even though it started going viral.

(Here is the BitChute link in case YouTube takes the video down. If that happens, I will embed the BitChute video in its place.)

You can probably keep up with all this on the Reddit link below, but, ultimately, who knows? The Silicon Valley propagandists know the persuasive discrediting power of images and videos like that mentally ill person they helped create. 

The anti trump vape employee has been fired. Go easy on the negative reviews now, this was one idiots actions not the store owners

Now... what to make of all this?

Well, for one thing, this shows the power of core story. (Or core story models, or whatever you want to call it.)

The people in these videos, and countless others like them, suffer from a form of mental illness allied to a storyworld in their heads where their internal villains and monsters--which scare the shit out of them--have nothing to do with the reality of the people right in front of them, the ones they demonize in reality. (Ditto for many in the fringe on the right.)

For propagandists and puppet-masters, this is exactly what they want. They know that people indoctrinated to this level will go fight in any war they determine and gladly give up their lives. Hell, some will put on a suicide vest and blow themselves up.

I have been on a quest to understand how story works on the psyche at this level. How do you take a sane person and turn him or her into what we saw on the videos? After a hell of a lot of study, I now know some of the processes, contexts, techniques, and so on, and they all involve story. But I still have a long ways to go.

This point is, these people can be funny and, as a Trump supporter, I think it is more than OK to laugh at them. They are idiots.

But we cannot ignore how close they are to a psychotic break. This is a time bomb waiting to go off. Serious thought, not just mockery, is called for.

This form of psychosis, called Trump Derangement Syndrome in the popular media, has an entire multi-part Wikipedia article on it:

Trump Derangement Syndrome

Here is a very cute passage citing Justin Raimondo from it (the section is called "Definition"):

Quote

In December 2016, Justin Raimondo divided the "syndrome" into three stages; in the first, those who "lose all sense of proportion"; next, they experience "a profound effect on ... vocabulary" and begin to "speak a distinctive language consisting solely of hyperbole"' and, in the final stage, the afflicted "lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

That's accurate.

:) 

Here is the rest of that passage:

Quote

Jonathan S. Tobin defines it as "disgust at his manner and his tweets such that all distinctions between him and genuine villains is lost." In April 2017, Fareed Zakaria defined the syndrome as "hatred of President Trump so intense that it impairs people’s judgment." CNN's editor-at-large Chris Cillizza called TDS "the preferred nomenclature of Trump defenders who view those who oppose him and his policies as nothing more than the blind hatred of those who preach tolerance and free speech." Pointing to previous allegations of Bush Derangement Syndrome and Obama Derangement Syndrome, Cillizza suggested, "Viewed more broadly, the rise of presidential derangement syndromes is a function of increased polarization – not to mention our national self-sorting – at work in the country today." Bret Stephens has described the term as something used by conservative groups whenever someone speaks out critically against Trump, regardless of political affiliation.

But the thing that got to me is the sheer number of articles (and a few videos) in the Wikipedia article's "references" section that cite or allude to Trump Derangement Syndrome in the headline. It's funny to see so many anti-Trump people writing about this, as if talking about it will exempt the author of suffering from it. :)

Whew!

That's just a scratch on the iceberg of what all is out there in the fake news media. Don't forget that this list only contains the references given on December 30, 2018 (the day I am making this post) in the Wikipedia article entitled "Trump Derangement Syndrome" that give (or clearly allude) to the phrase "Trump Derangement Syndrome" in the headline.

My favorite kind of articles among these are written by journalists afflicted with this mental illness, and addressed to others so afflicted, telling them to be careful not to fall into Trump Derangement Syndrome. This is like journalists--during a plague like The Black Death (if journalists existed at the time)--who are in the final stages of the disease themselves telling diseased people to not get the disease.

Above I speak of the fakenews victims. They will eventually see they’ve been played and sold a bunch of lies. They will be angry that the people Trump is taking down deceived them.

The other big set are those who have always understood what Trump is all about, they are in the camp Trump is taking down, but they’re not going to tell you that. They appear the same as the victims, but they will present as never quite getting cured, because they will continue fighting for their camp to their end.

Although the video below does not show feral howling in anti-Trumpers, and the fake news propaganda about him signing the MAGA hats of military personnel is light fare hysteria-wise, it does show credited college courses in places like Harvard on how to impeach President Trump.

This is the way the hysteria and mental illness manifests among the intellectual elites.

One college course mentioned in the video, clearly propaganda itself, is about Trump's propaganda to fool the media.

Here's a new one for an older thread.

Same theme. New merry-go-round.

And the TDS people have learned nothing.

Click the image and the video will open in a new window. Sorry, can't embed this one.

10.28.2019-19.32.png

This happened in an airport. After being being approached by this lady and told  if he removed his MAGA hat, he would look like he had a higher IQ, the black Trump supporter mentioned issues to discuss with her. But the lady had nothing. Just bossiness. 

(btw - I got this item from a new trends service: GAB Trends. I think you have to have a GAB account to use it, but that's easy. The difference between this service and social media trends feeds like on Facebook or Twitter is that GAB Trends shows what MOST people are discussing. Period. Granted, this is on Dissenter if I'm not mistaken. Dissenter is a GAB service. But there is no filter, social engineering, or ad manipulation on GAB Trends. Just the raw trends, probably number of views and comments. What a relief, too. :) This particular video is trending Number Two under "Today's Tops" right now.)

The main reason for all this is that Trump unlike previous Republicans does not back down. The left's tricks aren't working like they usually do. One example is Mitt Romney and "binders full of women" controversy. A normal person would of laughed at liberals about this and much worse. But he backed down like a little girl.

The left has gotten used to these easy victories. They now don't know what to do. Like a henpecked husband who finally discovered his courage. When he ignores his wife's menacing stare she won't know what to do.

Exactamundo. And in not knowing what to do, they just keep on doing the same old thing, only louder and more frequently. That's their method toward everything: If it doesn't work, do more of it!

He did back down like a little girl.

We are to believe he had the intelligence, backbone and cunning to rise quickly and become a billionaire in Wall Street, then all of that failed him one day and he went with backing down like a little girl.

Piece of Shit Mitt is on their team, he “backed down” to one of his own. Same for McStain four years earlier.

Here is the worst case of Trump Derangement Syndrome I have ever seen.

‘If I do get the Coronavirus I’m attending every MAGA rally I can’ – Denver Communist Official Says She Will Use Deadly Virus as Bio Weapon Against Trump Supporters

Nice...

Here's the genius who tweeted this, one Susan Daniel: 

https://twitter.com/SuePersists

Note that the tweet was deleted and her other tweets are in protected mode. But she has posted over a quarter of a million tweets.

And here's another genius who feels the same way, who retweeted and celebrated the threat, Candi Cde Baca:

These idiots need to be annihilated politically and punished harshly if they engage in wrongdoing. Even a threat like this one needs at least a counterthreat with teeth--and I include law enforcement (when no one is looking) in this.

It's a mistake to reason with these people so long as they are in a domestic terrorism frame of mind.

The only effective way to stop a bully and is pop him or her in the nose real hard.
