Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a social mental illness that manifests itself in the refusal to accept the results of the 2016 elections.  This ailment belongs to the category of political psychosis.  Unlike most other mental disorders, TDS is a contagious disease that can cause epidemics and even pandemics.

This syndrome is caused by the new neuropathologic coronavirus Bacillus Anti-Trumpicus (2016-nCoV).  The virus, entering the human brain, selectively eats only those neurons responsible for a coherent political worldview.  Theoretically, the disease is incurable, although some countries have announced successful attempts to combat the epidemic and control the spread of infection.

One of the best known symptoms of TDS is the complete lack of logic in patients' behavior.  For example, those afflicted with this disease claim that "President Trump is a lifelong dictator and fascist.  Therefore, in the 2020 elections, we must choose a different, democratic president."  For those who still do not see a logical contradiction in this phrase, we can say with confidence that your prognosis is unfavorable.

For those who see it, this expression serves as a kind of warning: "Beware — a sick person is before you.  You should not argue with him.  You should not discuss any serious problems with this individual; do not debate or argue with a schizophrenic.  This person needs neuropsychiatric help, not fruitless discussions."

The coronavirus Bacillus Anti-Trumpicus belongs to a well studied class of pathogens known as the Hidden Dogma of Collectivism (Occultatum Fascismo Decretum).

In the same way that Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) had spread for many years among people belonging to well defined social groups, Occultatum Fascismo Decretum viruses have spread for many decades among certain ideological structures, such as the Democrat Party.

Since the late 1960s, this party has become the party of the left, a socialist, Marxist party of the Leninist type.  The Democrats carefully concealed this from their electorate.  On television, they preferred to show moderate rather than radical socialists, such as Bill Clinton.  That was the period when the virus was in a latent state.  Only a small group of specialists could make a correct diagnosis at such an early stage of the disease.

But the arrival of Barack Obama in the White House marked the transition of Occultatum Fascismo Decretum viruses from latent to the semi-active stage.  On the television screen, Obama almost always positioned himself as a moderate centrist with a charming smile, but all his actions were the actions of a vicious radical socialist, radical leftist, radical "fighter against American imperialism."

The recent outbreak of TDS represents a metastatic disease that originated in 2016.  By 2020, for a certain number of American citizens, it has reached vital organs.  In particular, the 2016 elections forced the Democrats to peel off the mask of semi-hidden socialists, revealing the inner pathology.  The 2016 election forced Democrats to oppose America with an open socialist visor.

Why?  Because proponents of leftist ideology have come to the (pretty reasonable) conclusion that the beginning of the Trump era means the end of the socialist era.  They realized that it was time to go all in.  Otherwise, the idea of turning 50 American states into 50 Soviet socialist republics would fail.

So they went all-in...Putin, Russia, Mueller, strippers, Ukraine, impeachment.  From the outside, all this looked silly, but what else could be expected from a host in which the number of coronaviruses far exceeds the number of healthy cells?  The Democrat vote in Congress over the impeachment of President Trump confirms this.  The voting results settle the assumption that there are no uninfected individuals left in the Democrat population.  Moreover, for many leftists, the disease entered into the last disseminated and incurable fourth stage.

Viruses Occultatum Fascismo Decretum, as a rule, cause a limited number of symptoms, which facilitates a correct diagnosis.  For example, infected patients always refuse to believe they are sick.  They blame everyone who does not agree with them, referring to them as fascists, projecting onto conservative political opponents their own inner fascist pathology.  Organisms infected with the virus often break into militant gangs, which, as expected, and in Orwellian fashion, call themselves anti-fascists (Antifa).

The incubation period of Bacillus Anti-Trumpicus is unknown.  However, according to experts, it is the shortest among the entire class of Occultatum Fascismo Decretum viruses.  The incubation period depends on many factors, including hereditary ones.  For example, if Karl Marx's books were on the bookshelves of the patient's parents or the Frankfurt School of Socialism was discussed at the dinner table instead of the kid's school affairs, then the incubation period is practically absent.  It is the case of the father of the current Democrat frontrunner, Joseph Buttigieg, who was a Marxist professor.

A recent discovery by American researchers gives hope that the correct approach to the Bacillus Anti-Trumpicus problem will be found eventually.  It turned out that the record-low unemployment rate and noticeable growth of accumulated wealth in pension funds sharply boost the immune system of both societies and individual citizens.  In some cases, a manifestation of a complete cure is the refusal of patients to receive welfare benefits since they have obtained a high-paying job.

Cases of complete massive cures were also observed in patients who took advantage of popular home remedies.  For example, some patients simply stopped watching propaganda television programs that disguised themselves as news media.

Bacillus Anti-Trumpicus is known to prefer an unsanitary, anti-American, and anti-Semitic habitat, which is often created by the heirs of Marxism, known as globalists.

Globalism is a pandemic caused by Occultatum Fascismo Decretum viruses.

Humanity still does not know much about this phenomenon, but experts believe that the globalism pandemic, although caused by a virus, carries mainly the characteristics of a social disease.  Therefore, symptomatic treatment will not lead to success — it is necessary to eradicate the source of infection.  Unfortunately, as of now, the exact recipe for a complete cure is not entirely clear, although the actions of the current administration to start the massive de-Vindmanization process are impressive.

However, the main hope is inspired by the exciting pattern confirmed by scientists: the coronavirus Bacillus Anti-Trumpicus does not survive in a pro-American environment.
