    The TDS sufferer Justin Amash. He announced he is leaving the republican party the day someone announced he would run against him. He knows he is toast.

    Oh, I very much understand Trump's sentiment now.

    Somebody that wants to burn him at the stake? They expect kindness?

    The left have never faced a republican that fights back. They are in shock and act out in anger.

    The real entertainment comes from the reactions to the tweets. President Trump is a genius. He can get more of a comical rise out of more people with fewer words than anyone ever in human history. He reminds me of an orchestra conductor, and the authoritarians on the left and the right remind me of the brass and strings.

    Those who were dancing were thought to be mad by those who could not hear the music.

    Hmm. "Poor Lil' Donnie" slept in the White House last night. Not as fancy as your place, I'm sure ....

    I think the root of TDS is jealousy. Has to be. I used to think it was bitterness over 2016, but people were mocking "poor" little Donnie before 2016, you know, when he was flying around in his own private airliner and hosting a successful TV show. (How long did the Apprentice run?)

    I should be so poor.

    Rep Amash is getting vilified for not marching in lockstep with the Trump wing of the GOP. It seems the President wants automatons and myrmidons in Congress.

    A couple announced they would run against him. Nobody likes a traitor.

    Couldn't say. I don't use Twitter. Perhaps you should consider doing the same.

    We have never had a president whose writings have been so juvenile.

    I notice that conservatives like to pretend that this is true but never get past the vague accusations. However it is quite easy to describe the exact thing happening on the right. As I wrote in another thread:

    There used to be a thing called the fairness doctrine. It said that public broadcasts had to be fair in that both sides of issues had to be aired. There was also a law that said that a single entity could own no more than one AM radio station, one FM radio station, one Television station, and one newspaper in any one market.

    In the seventies, the average people were at the peak of their wealth and power. But it was at the expense of the wealthy, as it cut into the income of the inheritance class. LBJ had hit them hard and a group of them vowed to fight back. As Charles Koch put it, that the goal was to get the people to think like them, so they could get the people to support them.

    The plan of action they took was to "lobby" congress to repeal the restrictions on the media, which they succeeded in doing during Reagan's presidency. In the 1980 there were 50 companies who owned 90% of media outlets. That number is now 5. Every market is flooded with talk radio that carries the intended message. The message is quite an interesting one.

    For the most part the talk is just talk. Not much different than what one would hear around the water cooler. Mostly current affairs that are on people's minds. But with a twist. Every story is twisted just enough to put feminists/environmentalists/Democrats/liberals/.... in a bad light. "Seventy percent chance of thunderstorms this evening. If the Democrats hadn't raised your taxes to upgrade the schools, you could have afforded to buy your child an umbrella."

    Have you ever paid attention to the way Sean Hannity talks? He can't go five minutes without disparaging someone or the other on the left. It is his brand, as is most conservative political commentators. Rush Limbaugh made a career out of bashing liberals. The so-called seduction community found common cause with Limbaugh's FemiNazi rhetoric. Afterall, central to their ideology is that liberalism and feminism are responsible for their women problems - responsible for their emasculation Thus the alt-Right was born and their violent expression in groups like the Proud Boys.


    And who has been the primary beneficiary of the turmoil. The wealthiest. They got most of the tax cuts and the relaxation of regulations allows companies to spend less on worker safety and environmental protections, increasing their profits. The rich get richer and screw everyone else, exactly as Charles envisioned it.

    For some reason, only about half ever fall for it. That is the current political divide. It is what compels conservatives, who are good people, to support someone like Trump.

    Yes, those that cannot stand opposing views used government force. Before that there was always opposing views and government did not use force to structure free speech to the government party in power's liking. The fact that government was used at all to dictate what people could broadcast was a misuse of government.

    He must be using some pretty crappy music as most have tuned him out. He is dead man walking and we are just waiting for the nightmare to be over.

    Well, you did call it last time. You were the one who knew that Donald Trump would win an electoral college blowout against Hillary, right? You're probably just about as right on with your 2020 predictions as you were in 2016.

    Actually the root of TDS lies in the destruction of the left's belief in its own inevitability.

    I wish I could be so sure. This younger generation doesn't seem turned off by socialism.

    The problem with youth is generally ignorance of how reality functions as opposed to how they think it ought to function
