The heartbreak of TDS

MAGA world knows why you are so upset.

You suffer from Trump Derangement Syndome, they say.

It’s a mental illness they invented to marginalize anybody who refuses to fall into line behind The Donald.

Who refuses to buy into his lies, his anger and hatreds, his twisted vision for a New World Order.

So do you suffer from TDS?

Let’s do a quick diagnosis, shall we?

Do you think the U.S. is fast becoming a police state?

Do you resent the lies, fake information and raw propaganda that Team Trump tries to shove into your head on a daily basis?

Do you wake up every morning and say to yourself: ‘I don’t recognize this country anymore.’?

Do you think the next Great Depression is just one more tariff away?

Diagnoses complete.

The bad news: You definitely have TDS.

The good news: TDS is a sane and rational reaction to this dangerous Man Who Would Be King and the great harm he is doing to America on a daily basis.

TDS is not a mental disorder.

Indeed, awareness is the very essence of mental health.

So what to do about it?

First, take a stiff drink.

Kill your TV.

Throw off the shackles that restrain your righteous anger from breaking out for all to see.

Stay mad.

And resist.

Resist every day.

In every way.

Because if The TDS Folks of America ever unite – every day in every way – it’ll scare MAGA World to death.

They want you to think you are suffering from a mental illness.

But they are the ones exhibiting delusions of just about everything.

Oh yeah, and stay human.

Let your TDS freak flag fly.

It’s our only chance.

BTW: This blog is dedicated to R. Crumb. Some of whose classic cartoons are featured herein. When I was young, I liked Crumb – the king of underground comics – for his outrageous depictions of sex, drugs and rock n roll.

I love him now because, over the decades, he has proven to be an astute observer of twisted American values and nationalistic madness run amok.

Way to go dude.
