It stands for “Trump Derangement Syndrome”. It’s a fake mental illness made up by Trump supporters to dismiss legitimate criticism of and hatred for Trump.

How about this columnist?

They’re talking about gun culture though, not the second amendment, and that’s only one person.

I mean American gun culture is directly downstream from the 2nd Amendment. Yeah I guess fair it's technically one person, but at the same time said column was posted on a major news website, so there's certainly more people who would agree

Hmmm. Probably a minority though. There are a lot of liberals and leftists who own guns though, and that number has probably increased since Trump took office.

Owning a gun doesn't necessarily imply support for the 2nd Amendment. See: Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Donald Trump, etc.

Well yes, there are a lot of “rules for me, not for thee” people out there.

Article, Trump says he's been pardoned but every source I can find says communted, which I thought was a reduced sentence, are the terms interchangeable?

The difference is that a federal pardon would remove the offense from his criminal record and restore any civil rights lost. Apparently MTG wanted Santos commuted but not pardoned because she thought he was guilty but didn't deserve to go to prison over it.

The reality is that while No Kings will not overthrow the American government, it’s an important show of force against the administration and represents the fact that there is not “Trump consensus” that he touted after he won. My main issue is that most people who go tomorrow won’t keep the activism going after they go home.

Again, she asked Trump to commute Santos' sentence back in August, which did happen today. At this point I wonder if it was a psyop by the GOP to see if Dems were willing to bail to MAGA

“Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

No, she's still a piece of shit. It's just cathartic to see MAGA get burned by their own fire in all the ways we told them they would, and even more cathartic to see them have a moment of realization about it, however shallow it may be.

I still remember the MAGA guy literally moved to tears when the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, and another sounding like he was about to cry demanding a Trump critic say "I love Trump" like his eternal soul depended on it. That's what the psychologists should be looking at.
