If you have been known by a leftist as a Trump supporter, chances are the economic and social positions you have held since waaaay before Trump came down the escalator are ridiculed as "blindly following Trump."
This is the essence of the "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)", a mental disorder that has not yet made its way (and never will) into the lexicon of the "feel good" leftist psychiatric profession.
Those with TDS dismiss the simple things, like the importance of secure national borders to maintain national security and reduce the flow of drugs and crime into our country.
Like not invoking price and wage controls that distort and disrupt the marketplace.
Like the great benefits of being energy independent, using the energy resources we already have to the fullest to keep us competitive.
Like not wasting billions of dollars to subsidize the EV industry decades before our electric infrastructure can handle it, and before ALL the true life cycle costs of battery technology are understood.
Like not falling all over ourselves believing humans impact climate change more than a fluttering gnats whisker while spending billions trying to reverse what our solar system was designed to do.
Like the fad of sexual perversion, believing sex change and deviance have better outcomes than the status quo, attempting to reinvent biology and thousands of years of universal morality.
Nope. 99% of Trump, Desantis, and Haley supporters held to these ideas well before any of these candidates even thought of running for president. These candidates have merely tapped into the sentiments of these previously ignored common sense principles.
Common sense is offhandedly dismissed by those stricken with TDS.
