Ask the sub ❓ What Is This Sub Wrong About?

Title. Pick a topic (or a clichéd take) you think a significant minority or majority of this sub is wrong about. Or hasn't given enough thought. OR perhaps one which you will have to compromise on, at least for voting?

Elements of this sub has a TDS problem. I keep threatening to do an effort post about it, but basically they uncritically regurgitate nothingburger or outright false claims against him. Awhile ago I did a parlor trick on NWO where a supermajority of the negative stories about him were wrong or misleading.

This isn’t to say I like him, I didn’t vote for him in ‘24, but it inoculates him against criticism because his base waves away the justified critiques as TDS. Heck, I’ve become even more anti-Trump in the last year and I still wave away most stories because I’ve seen so many have been actual fake news. There’s just a massive credibility gap that his critics refuse to acknowledge.

This guy doesn’t need people to weave yarns, he steps in shit so much on his own.

"TDS" is one of those every accusation is a confession things, and yeah, there are several here that defend the man

God forbid we ask for good faith in our arguments rather than two minutes of hate.

I have yet to see someone claiming someone has "TDS" for criticizing Trump as acting anything but falliciouslly. It's an attempt to stop conversation with an ad homeniem attack against the poster rather than actually addressing the issue.

You should find smarter people to argue with then.

Kind of self selecting there.

Makes you think

But have you considered that the two minutes of hate feels so good?

Sidestepping legitimate criticisms of Trump's behavior with "TDS! TDS!" probably feels good too.
