No... why don't you show the things you claim?

"They are a Marxist-Leninist force that, if they succeed, will make the entire 
Central American region vulnerable to communist domination... If they are not 
stopped, they might well decide to march north."

Tell us... what, EXACTLY would have prevented them from trying to make it to 
America if they had, indeed, taken over the countries of Central America?

How could it NOT be done, if they had taken over the countries of Central 
America?

Uhhh... last time I looked at a world map... El Salvador, Guatemala and 
Nicaragua AND Central America, were all on THIS side of the Panama Canal.

Were you thinking of a SOUTH American para-military and political movement and 
organization?

THAT would be funny.


The Sandinistas, also known as the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional 
(FSLN), were a left-wing revolutionary movement that originated in Nicaragua. 

However, their influence and activities were not limited to Nicaragua.

The Sandinistas were named after Augusto César Sandino, a Nicaraguan 
revolutionary who fought against the United States' occupation of Nicaragua in 
the 1920s and 1930s.

While the Sandinistas were primarily based in Nicaragua, they had connections 
and support FROM OTHER COUNTRIES IN CENTRAL AMERICA AND BEYOND. During the 
1980s, the Sandinistas had alliances with other left-wing movements and 
governments in the region, including:

El Salvador: The Sandinistas had connections with the Farabundo Martí National 
Liberation Front (FMLN) in El Salvador, another left-wing revolutionary 
movement.

Guatemala: The Sandinistas had some connections with left-wing movements in 
Guatemala, although the extent of these connections is not well-documented.

Cuba: The Sandinistas received significant support from Cuba, including 
military training and economic aid.

The Sandinistas' main focus, however, was on Nicaragua, where they overthrew 
the authoritarian government of Anastasio Somoza in 1979 and established a 
revolutionary government. Their policies and actions had significant impacts 
on Nicaraguan society, economy, and politics.

The Sandinistas' influence and activities were largely confined to Nicaragua, 
but they did have connections and alliances with other left-wing movements in 
the region.

"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."
