This is the actual comprehensive definition of TDS / Trump Derangement Syndrome.
(All the other definitions appear to be people just throwing mud at each other.)
TDS is a blend of psychological phenomena related to bias, prejudice, and cognitive distortion. It was coined Trump Derangement Syndrome due to the extreme hatred of Donald Trump by the managerial class/establishment and the NPCs and/or low information voters that follow their command.
TL:DR
In simple terms, this phenomenon occurs when someone is so biased that they interpret everything from a person or thing they dislike in the most negative way possible. For instance, if you wave hello and say good morning, they might think your friendly gestures are actually hidden insults or ominous threats. It's a form of "persecutory paranoia" and/or "hostile attribution bias".
Projection issues for those suffering from TDS:
People with TDS often see any neutral or positive stance as covert support for the person they hate, assuming that those who don't share their negative view are hidden supporters. This reinforces their paranoia and resistance to differing viewpoints.
These factors create a syndrome where hatred or bias blinds people to objective information and critical thinking, leading them to embrace propaganda, avoid independent analysis, and cling to their negative views.

Get the TDS, Trump Derangement Syndromemug. People with Trans Derangement Syndrome have been trained to have an extreme adverse Pavlovian response to anything suggesting 'trans'.
The mere utterance of the word trans or they/them bypasses the higher-thinking circuitry of the brain and triggers the primitive rage centres to go off.

Get the TDSmug. TDS is " The Donald's Syphilis " its a undetectable variant of the common STD syphilis but it only seems to plague Republicans, Right Wingers, Neo-Nazis, White Nationalists and Libertarians who we all know are just one of the previously named groups but too ashamed to define ones-self as such.
It also makes anyone who has it forget Trump's long time ties to Jeffery Epstein who once said Donald Trump was his best friend and Trump even claimed was a terrific guy.
TDS " The Donald's Syphilis " contributes to the collapse of democracy and alters those effected by it vision and distorts reality so much so that they can only really make sense to other sufferers of TDS. They are absent from reality and are often triggered by Super Bowl performances, Trans Women ( that give them arousal ), and virtually anything good for the USA such as healthcare for all or feeding kids lunches for free in school where they have to be by law.
TDS does seem to effect some terminally online people that may have once identified as Bernie Bros but those are very rare cases.
TDS used by the right wing voting base to describe Democrats and Liberals that are triggered by Trumps attempts at forming the 4th Reich in the USA is actually a secret acronym to describe the massive cult following of Trump's and the brain rot that comes with joining said cult
