I absolutely adore finding someone that drops ‘TDS’ in an online convo. Like, me am dumb, what TDS mean? Please eli5. And then they inevitably try to distance themselves, because using anything other than dog whistles is fucking terrifying to MAGA.
I try to stay out of chud spaces on the Internet. A conservative friend of mine dropped that on me IRL a few years ago saying I had TDS. It was the first time I had ever heard the term. I asked him what it meant, and he said Trump derangement syndrome. I said what does that mean? He said you’re so obsessed with Trump you can’t avoid shitting on him. I told him dude, you’re so obsessed with him you have a name for a made up disease that assists in fondling his balls in your vocabulary. He genuinely couldn’t believe I had never heard the term. This was maybe 2022.

Same, but it bleeds into other spaces. I usually see it in YT comments.
Dropping this picture and asking if this is what they meant should work too.
Turn it around on them. If someone is in the cult, obviously they have TDS.
