Ha. As a rare conservative psychologist, I also will sit quietly and hear some obnoxious TDS psychologists say terrible things, assuming I agree with them.

It's very similar to Stockholm syndrome.

How so? From the outside TDS looks like just pure, unadulterated hate. But I'm not a psychologist.

It's not in the DSM-5 but it absolutely should be.

Ooh believe me, I do. I’m already grooming my resume and professional identity to get ahead of the curve on patterns of pathology that I project will develop in the next 5 years thank to this lunacy.

Please share your projections if so inclined. It makes me think of the book "The Fourth Turning" but based in psychology and not history. Thanks.

I wish it was something so impressive! Mostly, I expect a surge in certain chronic anxiety-related disorders because impressionable kids have had a sizable chunk of developmental years subjected to TDS parents and media dumping fear and predictions of catastrophe into kids during their developmental years. It’s true for adults as well, but that impact on the brain during its developmental years rewires the brain in a lasting way. If Trump wins, it will be actually exaggerated since the Swamp won’t be giving up and continue its emotional terrorism techniques, but this time likely calling on foreign allies. The nation-wide germophobia, telling kids that people will die if they don’t wash their hands or socially distance will grow into a slew of social anxiety, generalized anxiety, maladaptive affective avoidance techniques, and (generally) subclinical OCD symptoms. Unchecked, these go on to create things like addiction and personality disorders.
