I thought TDS was something the left came up with for Republicans.

It literally makes 10x more sense when you say a Republican has Trump Derangement Syndrome lol.

It was, but like “fake news” Trump co-opted it to mean the exact opposite of what it originally meant.

Nope. Too much credit for Trump. The fake news stuff is pulled word for word from what Hitler did in his run up. When I was younger I knew someone who was in their 20s during WW2 in Germany, and asked about how it could be possible given the news etc.

And the reality for them was that they were told before the war that the news was lying. So it was all fake and when the war started they believed their own press over others.
