Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

afaik it's not literally meant to be the physical media of the recordings, but the ownership of the IP of the recordings
like how people in radio still say "cart number" even though carts haven't been a thing for about 20 years

Cart numbers are still a thing in TV Advertising Traffic systems as well.

There isn't much TDS from Brazil because they're more busy dealing with Bolsonaro Derangement Syndrome, an affliction almost as extreme. Same shit with any Latin American country governed by a right-winger, like Chile, Uruguay and Ecuador.
Mind you, there is also Bolsonaro Enslavement Syndrome to counter-balance it. I want nothing to do with those people who think he's the second coming of Jesus.

There is a bit of overlap between Bolsonaro fans and Trump fans, but not that much between these two and anti-SJW's. Gotta remember not everyone is a fan of brash populists. Several right-wing pages I follow on Instagram either loathe Bolsonaro but love Trump, or loves them both. There's also a fair share who think both are clueless rubes, but are certainly not left-wingers in any way. All left-wingers and the media (I repeat myself) hate them both with a passion.

It's a bit complicated. There will always be a tint of anti-Americanism in left-wing politics because muh imperialism.

In my experience most "anti-SJWs" are manchild idiots like Carl Benjamin who have absolutely zero grasp on real world politics. I've ran into them a few times on this site, where I've been trying to talk about strategic alliances and the national debt and then they go off with "MUH CARTOONS, muh nerd culture, modern women are such degenerate whores smh". I'll take the dumb overenthusiastic Trump/Bolsonaro fans like thedonald.win over them any day, at least they have more of a sense of humour.

It's a slight irony that while I'm politically on the right, I'm culturally in the same "lmao disgusting fat smelly nerds" camp as some of the PC brigade are.

I like this, it works on multiple levels.

I mean, she looks like she'd be great at it. Just need a brown paper bag with some holes in it first, but yeah.

I just hope we don't have to wait a month for all the fraudulent ballots to get counted. The polls are starting to trend upwards like in 2016 but with the new voting laws in NC, PA, etc. it's looking like we'll need a landslide on election day to cut off the fraud before it happens.

Paraphrasing Mark Steyn, Republicans need to win both beyond the margin of fraud and beyond the margin of lawyer.

Having SCOTUS on their side will help with this. Another Bush v Gore is a distinct possibility but they will rule in Trump's favour now that it's not down to Roberts and his whims anymore. At least in PA the late ballots are separated so can be excluded if something is wrong with them.

Come to think of it, I don't see much TDS online from Brazil. Euros, Aussies and Leafs definitely, they're incessant with their smugness, but barely any from those in Latin/South America, Africa or Asia.

Because Western Euros still have a colonialist mentality without even realizing, they unironically believe that their opinions and values are superior to others, this is pretty obvious when you look at how they look at immigrants from the middle east, they never take into consideration the whole culture compatibility aspect because they unironically fully believe that their culture is so superior that the immigrant with the "inferior" culture will just throw out his identity and adopt euro values for no reason. That's why they're so smug and feel the need to preach even tho no one asked them.

Now combine that with the fact that western euros know some English, Consume both negative and positive American media and know more about America politics than they know about their own or the EU's and you get the typical Euro. Ask a European who is the Speaker of the House in the US and then ask who is the President of the European Parliament/Commission/Council and they'll 100% know the first answer while having no idea about the second one. Similar with Aussies and Leafs.

South Americans, Africans, Asians have their own problems and corruption and are self aware, don't really consume American media and they simply don't have a "defender of the free world" mentality and they don't go around and preach about what others should be doing.

And to think some commies thought then Chavez and Maduro was the second coming of Jesus but then they'll said it wasn't real communism while Venezuela was screwed. I prefer Bolsonaro Enslavement Synrome instead of Maduro Enslavement Syndrome.

Some still believe Maduro is doing just fine, believe it or not. If someone tells you it's fine and dandy, chances are it's a local government glowie.

Mind you, I also prefer overly-enthusiastic Trump and Bolsonaro fans. At most they're cringy beyond reason. The few far-right movements with any relevance don't really like these two for very particular reasons. Israel shilling from the former, willingness to deal with the old establishment from the latter, which is why I don't really mind TDS/BDS-affected people's attempts to link us normal right-wingers with those lunatics.

They do consume American media. There are Marvel spergs in South America and Asia (less so Africa because a lot of them don't have internet connections yet). They don't have the same class of people moaning about American politics on Twitter though.

Maybe not the best comparison to make after you spent several years advertising for ISIS as a bunch of badass freedom fightters.

Depends if she's a neoliberal or a socialist. Tulsi Gabbard never liked Islamic rebels.

It melts my brain when they act like a car parade is some organized terrorist cell. There are cars and flags. Wow totally the same thing. No wonder people on my facebook eat the lies that white terrorism is the biggest problem facing our nation.

It's almost as if conservatives and "anti-SJWs" are controlled opposition meant to both make you look stupid and direct your rage towards scapegoats.

But don't you know that white supremacists are responsible for more American deaths than Islamic terrorists?! If you start counting from September 12, 2001 anyway...and you ignore events like the Pulse nightclub shooting...

Controlled by whom exactly? I can guess who you're going to say but we'll see.

It goes back to the Andrew Breitbart debate of politics being downstream from culture. A question of fighting the symptoms vs the disease.

I do wonder how viable some political efforts will be when the upcoming voters know less about history than they do the latest Harry Potter or MCU film.

The average voter has never been well informed. Half a century ago it was people who sat around watching TV, a century ago it was people who only read the sport section in newspapers.

Notice how every time someone suggests doing literally anything that might inconvenience the elite, the conservatives and libertarians are always their most fervent defenders? They don't actually want to solve any of the problems they complain about, they just get a hard-on from being oppressed all the time. Hopefully antifa shoots them more often so they can really get the oppression they deserve.

You can look at some of the old 8th grade tests and see that's not true. Even the old pop culture frequently had deep references to history and literature that is lost on the modern consumer.

Once upon a time the average voter had a decent awareness of the history of the country, the philosophy of its founding, and a proper perspective of what mattered in life.

I don't think the average 1930s labourer really cared as long as he could provide for his family. Maybe that is the proper perspective of what mattered in life, but given your politics I'd assume you'd say electing FDR 4 times in a row wasn't a very conservative position given what happened with Wickard v Filburn and the massive growth of federal power.

I hope this election doesn't come down to the SCOTUS, but I worry that it just might. The margins may well be just close enough that the Dems will think they can cheat their way to a victory.
