The Great Derangement: How Trump Hatred Exposes the Left's Flight from Reality
Democrats Like Being Lied To
Democrats would rather stay Dumb, Stupid, Lied To, and Uninformed because they have TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. Never in my life would I thought to see people praying for a life long Democrat/Politician to save them. Trump is the first President since George Washington to have NEVER ran for any other public office. The same people that think the MASK would save them are the same people who worship lifelong politicians like Biden and Harris.
In the grand theater of American politics, a peculiar and pathological phenomenon has taken root, one so pervasive it has earned its own clinical-sounding name: Trump Derangement Syndrome. It is more than mere political disagreement; it is a collective psychosis, a fever dream of outrage that has caused a significant portion of the electorate, and the Democratic party that represents them, to abandon reason, tradition, and even basic common sense. As the sentiment goes, they would rather stay "Dumb, Stupid, Lied To, and Uninformed" than break free from the hypnotic grip of their hatred for the 45th president. This derangement is not just a political strategy; it is a cultural sickness that has led to the abandonment of American principles and the worship of a failed, lifelong political class.
At its core, Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is the inability to process reality when it conflicts with a deeply held narrative of villainy. It is the reason why a booming pre-pandemic economy was relentlessly reported as a catastrophe-in-waiting. It is why a president who brokered historic peace deals in the Middle East was branded a warmonger, and why a leader who was never convicted of a single crime is still relentlessly pursued as a criminal mastermind. This syndrome demands that every action, no matter how positive, be viewed through a lens of malevolent intent. For the sufferer of TDS, the stock market cannot simply be up; it must be “the rich getting richer.” Border walls cannot be a legitimate security measure; they must be a symbol of racism. This is not skepticism; it is a willful blindness, a conscious choice to embrace a curated dystopia over a complex, and often successful, reality.
This flight from reality reached its zenith during the COVID-19 pandemic. The same populace that placed an almost theological faith in a small piece of cloth over their face—despite shifting guidance and mixed evidence on its efficacy—is the same group that places its faith in the eternal promises of lifelong politicians like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The mask became more than a public health tool; it became a virtue signal, a litmus test for compliance and moral righteousness. This blind faith in a simple, government-recommended solution mirrors the blind faith in a political class that has presided over every major national crisis of the last half-century, from the stagflation of the 1970s to the financial collapse of 2008, and has consistently offered more of the same failed solutions. They trust the mask to stop a virus and the politician to save the nation, with the same uncritical, childlike devotion.
This brings us to the most glaring irony of the modern left: their worship of the career politician. For decades, conservatives have warned of the rise of a permanent political class, an insulated aristocracy of bureaucrats and elected officials who live by a different set of rules and are utterly disconnected from the lives of the people they govern. Figures like Biden and Harris are the epitome of this class. They have never held a significant job outside the halls of government. Their entire worldview has been formed within the bubble of political power. They are professional politicians, a concept the Founding Fathers would have viewed with deep suspicion. Their entire careers are a testament to the art of gaining and maintaining power, not to the practice of building, creating, or producing anything of tangible value.
In stark contrast stands Donald Trump. Love him or loathe him, his entry onto the political stage was a direct repudiation of this professional political class. As the observation notes, he was the first president since George Washington to have never before run for any other public office. He was not a product of the machine. He was an outsider, a disruptor who built a career in the real world of high-stakes development and global business. This is precisely why the establishment, in both parties, reacted with such unhinged fury. He was not one of them. He did not speak their language or respect their unspoken rules. He represented a threat to their very existence, a testament to the idea that perhaps you don’t need a 50-year political resume to lead a nation; perhaps you need competence, force of will, and a genuine love for your country.
The Democratic party and its media allies cannot allow this idea to take root, for it is an existential threat to their power. If a political outsider can win the presidency and, by many objective measures, succeed, it invalidates the entire premise of their professional political project. It proves that the “smart people” in Washington aren’t so smart after all. This is why the derangement is so intense. It is not just about one man; it is about defending a system that provides them with status, power, and influence. To acknowledge any of Trump’s successes—from the Abraham Accords to energy independence to deregulation that fueled a historic economy—is to crack the foundation of their own identity. It is far easier to label him a racist, a fascist, and an idiot, even when such labels defy all logic and evidence.
This derangement has tangible, damaging consequences for the nation. It has poisoned public discourse, making bipartisan compromise on any issue nearly impossible. How can you negotiate with someone you genuinely believe is the embodiment of evil? It has eroded trust in every pillar of society, from the intelligence agencies and the Justice Department to the medical establishment and the free press, as these institutions have been weaponized in the political war against the outsider. It has created a citizenry that is, as the post accurately states, “Dumb, Stupid, Lied To, and Uninformed,” not because they lack access to information, but because they have been conditioned to reject any information that conflicts with the approved narrative.
The conservative perspective offers a return to sanity. It is a perspective built on principles, not personalities. It believes in the wisdom of the Founders, who envisioned a citizen-government, not a ruling class. It values individual achievement and real-world success over political tenure. It trusts in the common sense of the American people—the people who build businesses, raise families, and form the backbone of the nation—over the condescending lectures of a coastal elite that has never met a payroll. It is a philosophy that judges policies by their results, not their intentions, and holds leaders accountable for their actions, not their party affiliation.

The choice before the American people has never been clearer. On one side is the party of derangement, a movement defined by its hatred, its reliance on a permanent political class, and its flight from reality. It is a movement that prays for a lifelong politician to save them from the consequences of their own policies. On the other side is a philosophy of national renewal, one that believes in the potential of the American citizen, the power of the free market, and the enduring strength of the nation’s founding principles. The 2024 election will not merely be a contest between two candidates. It will be a referendum on reality itself—a choice between a future built on the solid ground of truth and accomplishment, or one lost in the fever swamp of derangement.
