"Now judging by the statements of some of my sparring partners lately, The left is panicked. Why? Because you aren't playing by
their rules anymore. They want you to sit down and shut the fuck up. They want you to stay in your lane. Little did they realize
that you would build your own road and go right through them. You all stand unapologetically for free speech, in the places that
they thought they owned. And Trump is bringing radical campuses like Harvard, Columbia, and UPenn to heal as we speak. Now let me
be blunt and give you a direct message. We cannot concede any ground. Not an inch, not a campus, not a corporate hallway, not a
school board, not a TV network, not a single corner of our culture will we concede. And certainly not a dictionary, which is under
assault from people who think words and DNA no longer have any meaning. Trump scares these people to death because they know he's
going right around them, straight to the American people. Our old cultural and political emperors have no clothes. Now it's just a
hateful buck naked mob, desperate to regain some relevance.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
