Tea Party Derangement Syndrome (TPDS)

The acute onset of paranoia in Tea Party followers that cause them to mistrust their fellow Americans when they appear not to endorse their Far-Right ideals. This causes them to take a dualistic approach to those who disagree with them. Often leading them to never give the opposing side's opinions a chance in their minds

Though the ultimate causes of WCCDS are unknown, it is believed to result from situations where an individual’s beliefs about the way the world is and ought to be differ significantly from available evidence about the way the world actually is. It is frequently accompanied by inexplicable feelings of persecution and a pronounced tendency toward tribalism. WCCDS is named for its prevalence among conservative members of the majority White-Christian demographic in the United States.

Symptoms of White Conservative Christian Derangement Syndrome include mistrust of foreigners and people of different ethnic backgrounds; mistrust of the United Nations; fourth grade understanding of both world and United State history; little or no understanding of science, yet stubborn need to form opinions about it; inconsistent attitudes concerning the policies of liberal and conservative politicians (e.g. may favor a policy under conservative leadership, yet reject similar policy initiatives under liberal leadership); belief that the Bible is literally true and accurate, and therefore supersedes other types of information; belief that Ayn Rand's science fiction books are serious academic treatments of sociological and economic problems.
"What's the diagnosis Doc?"

"Well, you report feelings of persecution which you link to a 'socialist dictator president'. Is that correct?"

"Yes."

"You believe companies attempting to appeal to broader consumer demographics by saying 'Happy Holidays' rather than 'Merry Christmas' constitutes an attack on your religious values and liberties?"

"Yessir!"

"The idea of marriage equality represents - in your words - an 'assault on traditional marriage and the constitution'?"

"That's right."

"You believe in a 'politically motivated scientific establishment', that anthropogenic climate change and Darwinian evolution are hoaxes, and that your religious beliefs about the way the world was created should be taught in public science classrooms?"

"Absolutely."

Doctor removes glasses, looks gravely at patient. "I fear you have contracted White Conservative Christian Derangement Syndrome. At this point, we simply do not have a cure."

Patient breaks into sloppy, stuttered sobbing. "What can I do Doc?"

"At this point, the best I can do is recommend you refrain from watching Fox News, listening to conservative talk radio, and visiting websites like Drudge and WND. Perhaps try visiting your local library, checking out books on science and history. All we can do after that is wait and hope."

Misfit Patriot Derangement Syndrome

Misfit Patriot Derangement Syndrome (abbreviated as "MPDS") is a pejorative term usually for criticism or negative reactions to the TikTok creator Misfit Patriot, that are perceived to be irrational, and have little regard towards Misfit Patriot or his actual positions, statements, behavior or content.

Symptoms of MPDS can be described as attempts to discredit criticism, as a way of reframing the discussion by suggesting that Misfit Patriot and his supporters are incapable of accurately perceiving the world, are racist, sexist, bigots, or any other trigger word which would result in rage-farming toward Misfit Patriot, his friends and supporters.
