Trump derangement syndrome

[JHB]

9. Frankly, I'm for retiring the "derangment syndrome" phrase

Let's not forget that it first sprang up in the Bush administration as "Bush derangement syndrome", a smear about people who opposed Bush's policies and actions in office. It painted people who criticized the administration because they had damn good reasons for criticizing the administration as if they were merely doing so reflexively for some strange, scatterbrained nonsense reasons.


It's even more so as "Trump derangement syndrome". But it feeds the wingnut base, so they vomit it forth.
