yes, if I'm using it as is meant by his supporters to describe me. I'm really quoting them almost as a third party, and I don't hate the person in question, though the accusations of mental illness issues if one is not a Trumper are easy...easier than an actual explanation of the behavior being questioned, criticized, mocked, whatever.
It's tiring fending off that charge when really wanting to criticize/discuss his actions.
For example, if one posts:
"Trump jeopardized the health of many Americans by saying the virus was a Dem and media driven hoax"
the common response from Trump supporters seems to be:
"TDS much?" or "oh, sure, just blame him for the virus too. You are blinded by your pathological hatred."
well, maybe longer than that, but the response should or could be a thought out defense of his actions and perhaps teaching the original poster why he might even benefit from Trump's actions in the hoax example.
BUT, somehow I think you may have been being humorous pointing out, yet again, my use of quotation marks when their need is not obvious. If that is the case, disregard the above response...HA!
