> <Person I despise> does something I like > No! It doesn't matter, his motives must have been terrible.

I will never understand this kind of reaction, when you get so emotional about something that all pragmatism goes out the window.



What a reductionist argument. OC’s argument is perfectly reasonable considering trump’s history and his previous actions. I’ll never understand why certain people feel the need to feign ignorance about reality and make false assertions that such criticism comes from disdain, and not from a simple observation of past behavior.


Broken clock and all that. Trump didn't even issue the pardon yet. He's despised for a reason and a few reasonable things he happened to say or do don't outweight all the horrible things he did.



> The use of the term has been called part of a broader GOP strategy to discredit criticisms of Trump's actions.

I agree, TDS is a pretty catchy term when you want to deflect from trumps corruption.
