When a bunch of people protest something they don't understand, simply advocating for change from points of extreme outrage or emotion rather than rational thought. They believe they have a monopoly on compassion and justice. They will never attempt to have an honest discussion about what they are protesting as they are too either cowardly, misinformed, mentally ill, or indoctrinated to do so. They will shout down, shame, or demonize any other point of rational thought or view that conflicts with their own rather than try to understand, listen, or learn. They aren't actually protesting, they are having an outrage party.
Guy 1: Did you hear about that mass shooting the other day?
Guy 2: Oh yea, it was horrible.
Guy 1: There's going to be a protest against guns again.
Guy 2: Oh boy, here we go again.
Guy 1: You should go down there and try to talk some sense into them.
Guy 2: There's no point, it's not a protest. It's an outrage party.

Get the Outrage Partymug. A website that was once a gathering place for fun and friendly memes which was completely ruined by botted accounts dedicated to pushing left-wing/leftist political propaganda to the front page for the young user base to see and hopefully indoctrinate. Providing any actual evidence that goes against the hivemind results in being immediately downvoted and banned despite the reason simply having an opinion they don't like regardless of you're evidence against their narrative. The political bot accounts use each others memes and recycle them with small changes and intentionally leave out key facts to push lies and to push the idea that fact checking them itself is an act of evil. Without any actual moderation to stop this, it's become a dystopian nightmare. Almost as if John Oliver himself became a website.

Get the LASmug. The label 'transphobe' functions as a snarl word, similar to terms like 'Wog' (Suppressive Person) in Scientology or 'Glober' in Flat-Earth communities. These labels are used to frame outsiders or critics as 'heathens' or, in this case, as 'The Boogeyman.' This form of outsider labeling is designed to equate criticism of the belief system with harassment, fostering a narrative of fraudulent victimhood to shame and silence dissenters. In this context, rejecting transgender ideology is often framed as bigotry, while the belief system itself requires the denial of biological science and reliance on numerous logical fallacies, much like the way flat-earthers deny established physics. In both cases, these labels serve to discredit criticism, reinforcing the belief system by positioning science denial as a marker of 'the other' and by requiring followers to embrace false reasoning. While the Flat-Earth movement tends to be more passive and tolerant of outsiders, transgender ideology is often more aggressive and intolerant of dissent.
"After publicly questioning aspects of transgender ideology on social media, the dissenter was quickly labeled a 'transphobe' by critics— a term intended to shut down the conversation and discredit any opposition to the prevailing narrative of the cult and its allies."

Get the Transphobemug. Some dude who claims to run a business, and keeps using certain buzzwords like "Cash Flow" and "Going big / Take it to the next level" constantly but in reality is learning by the seat of his pants and really has no idea what he is doing. Big dreamer, but lacks direction and knowledge. Not necessarily a bad guy, but that one Youtube video he watched about running a successful business is running through his head on nonstop repeat everyday and he acts like he's going to be a millionaire in the next 9 months.
Business Bro: Once I achieve optimal synergy with positive cash flow energy I'll blow up and go big so I can take it to the next level! Let's do this!

Get the Business Bromug. 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.

Examples of TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome:
Simple Example: Sarah, who dislikes John, interprets his friendly “Good morning” and smile as a disguised insult. She believes he’s mocking her, even though his intentions are completely harmless.
Real Life Example: Destiny (YouTube) is a prime example of someone exhibiting extreme TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). (Also see: The Rationalization Hamster)

The main take away here is you don't want to introduce any paradoxes to a line of reasoning or any model, because you'll have to also by proxy also accept an infinite amount of other paradoxes that are thus created by the first one as a consequence.

Paradoxical Domino Effect Example #1: God exists therefore any other god could also exist. Since God exists so could faeries, werewolves, vampires, Big Foot, and The Loch Ness monster. Since faeries could exist as a consequence of this, magic also must exist since they use magic.
Paradoxical Domino Effect Example #2: Going back in time is possible; therefore, you can go back in time and kill your own grandpa so you couldn't be born. Since you can't be born you must not exist. Since you no longer exist... wait what if going back in time is actually just a copy of the past you are going into? So there must be infinite pasts you can go into. Since there are infinite pasts you can go into...
