How did he get elected?
Folks like the intelligentsia next door voted for him. You know, the smart people.

Good window into white female progressive thought, which is to say mainstream leftist narrative thought. Entirely robotic in its response to ideas from the other tribe. Say something about race on that board as a white male, and you'll be met by white progressive females condemning you for your privilege and ignorance about what it is to be oppressed. No rational thought required, only virtue and outrage at the outgroup. "How dare you" disagree with me, a progressive white female of pure compassion, who understands the oppressed. Somehow. That is the political discussion in American culture, in a nutshell.
Not all the posters there are progressive white females or feminized men. There are some not-quite-feminized men who are more defined by being inveterate status seekers, who, if pressed, express sympathy for reason, but who never volunteer it in the face of the righteous virtue noises of their tribe.

Most voters recognized Trump was bad for the country and the world and a foul human being on top of it all. They only needed a non-scary alternative and would take it. Biden was perceived as that. It really is that simple.
Anybody who isn't willing to admit how destructive the righteous TDS that overcame the culture was, has no standing to claim a principled stance against things that are bad for the country and the world.
If it comes down to something simple, it is an unwillingness or even an inability to hold one's nose and live through a circumstance one finds repulsive, without throwing a temper tantrum. This is why I've called TDS sufferers 'dainty little princesses', because that describes perfectly well the psyches of such people, when the chips are down and they have to suffer the results of an election that didn't go their way.

Then they lied to themselves. There is no way a thinking, rational human couldn't study Biden's behavior for just a few days and not know he was mentally and physically challenged.

That is a reasonable thought, but
I have always liked dainty little princesses.
TDS sufferers are more like, with all due respect, stupid, gutless jerks.

This. Just like in 2016, in 2020, many people voted AGAINST a candidate rather than FOR a candidate.
Obviously people cannot see into the future. That is what elections are for. I am sure that there are people who voted for President Biden that regret that vote. And, I am sure that there are people who voted for President Trump in 2016 who regret that vote.

You throw the 'TDS' label around as much as any Woke progressive does the 'R' word. And it has the same dilutive effect on the meaning, at least to the people who aren't True Believers.

You aren’t in your right mind when it comes to Trump, nor when it comes to the concept of TDS, considering the fact you don’t think you suffer from it, and, as far as I’m aware, have never even admitted it exists as a thing worth talking about.

It (TDS) exists.
It turns otherwise rational people into irrational people. It turns irrational people into slobbering fools.

No, not at all. People voted for the vision of America that Trump offered.
And which he delivered as best as he could despite constant obstruction and mendacity from the press and the oppositional party.

Donald Trump wasn't "bad for the country" at all. He was the first president since Reagan who represented the people instead of the government. He was a breath of fresh air in a stench filled sewer. Nor was he a "foul human being". The problem is quite simpke: too many people, you included, don't know your ass from your hat.

Where is the line between "not agreeing with Trump's policies" and "not considering Trump a decent human begin" and TDS?
It's rather cheap to dismiss everyone who disagrees with you as suffering from some kind of syndrome.

Trump was a mixed bag, both good and bad. Overall, I would say the good outweighed the bad, but the bad was still there.
