CNN host, Jake Tapper:
"Democrats are blaming the Republicans for the shutdown, but in point of fact, 
IT'S THE DEMOCRATS IN THE SENATE WHO ARE REFUSING TO VOTE for the clean 
continuing resolution to fund the government for 7 weeks."

(NOT voting for, is voting against.)

(Remember... if you're not ANtifa...)

"I mean that just, just as a point of fact, the way that we have always 
covered shutdowns, is that the party that is NOT VOTING FOR THE CR..."

(NOT voting for, is VOTING against)

"... the continuing resolution to fund the government, is the party that is 
blocking the government funding. IT (DEMOCRATS) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 
SHUTDOWN. That's how we did it the last time in 2018, 2019. That's the time we 
did before that during the Obama administration. I mean, it's your party that 
is refusing in the Senate that is refusing to vote for the continuing 
resolution." 

A refusal to vote for, is voting against.

"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."
