Deranged Magat Syndrome

[Klaus]

This building is Western Culture and Enlightenment values (not very glorious looking, I know), raised at a time when erosion of that magnitude was unthinkable. The situation is similar on both its left and its right side. When it falls, it won't matter much whether it falls to the left or to the right. It will become debris either way.

[jon-nyc]

Indeed.

It’s been nearly the end of something since i was a little kid. The prophecies never tire of losing and neither do the acolytes.

[Doctor Phibes]

There's definitely a tendency to claim that the future of the country, and possibly the free world, is at stake every time there's a US election. Other countries don't seem to have this problem as much.

This is the thread for posting stories about people with DMS.

Ah, so not only have you invented something that doesn't exist and assumed it into existence, you want to also control what is said in response.. I see,......

[jon-nyc]

I gave a name to something that very clearly exists. Anyone can respond any way they want.

But I'm collecting stories here in one place.

[Horace]

Wake me up when DMS commentary graduates from giggling at stupid outliers to commentary on a broad cultural idea rooted in mindless, destructive hatred, as TDS was.

[jon-nyc]

I've purposely avoided 'nut picking'. I'm posting examples that have personal or institutional support from Trump, his administration, or the RNC.

[Horace]

You are crowdsourcing other Trump haters on Twitter for their retweets of the best giggliest examples of DMS tweets from anybody affiliated with Trump or the GOP. Those of us who considered TDS to be a noteworthy cultural weakness had only to look at the NYT or major news networks. So I suppose you can aspire to that.

[jon-nyc]

Fascinating. Read to the end.

I didn’t read it

I assume they hate Mr. Trump

Youll never figure this out if you keep trusting shit news sources like the Washington Post.

[Axtremus]

Hey @Larry, what are your news sources?

The WaPo seems to have made it more difficult to bypass their paywall. Fuck.

I bookmarked it for future reading in the event that something that matters happens.

Hey @Larry, what are your news sources?

I have this rule: once a media source has a track record of never being correct even once in a year's time I stop reading it.

[jon-nyc]

Even RT gets the date right.

Getting the date right is the only thing the Washington Post has ever gotten right.
