Trump Derangement Syndrome Classic, Political Polarization and Social Media
A new classification of "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) Classic" is introduced to describe extreme emotional reactions to Donald Trump's re-election. An anecdote involves a truck driver whose wife is filing for divorce specifically because she believes the Trump-Vance administration will abolish no-contest divorce and birth control rights. This phenomenon is attributed to heavy media influence and deep-seated political anxiety.
