Trying to determine the various levels of TDS. Maybe a scale of 1-5 or 1-7... whatever it takes.

But to start, a baseline is needed. What's the minimum behavior/attitude/activity to qualify for Level 1 TDS? Maybe something like losing your shite over the reflecting pool? Something that adds to the aesthetic of DC, harmless, and would not be cared about at all if it weren't for Trump doing it? Which posters fit this category?

What type of behavior/attitude/activities would qualify for Max TDS? The type of person who not only shows up to protests, but tries actively involving themselves in it by obstructing? Which posters fit this category?

From there we can fill in the middle levels, however many there may be.

Which TDS are you referring to?

Trump Derangement Syndrome or Trump Deification Syndrome?

Both very real.

Much like the girl hot-crazy matrix, you need a base of about 4. All liberals and democrats are at least a 4 on the TDS scale.

I feel this comment is a benchmark for a level OP.

One man’s arsehole is but a Democrats dream. While Derangement Syndrome is real it has but peaked in Trump level. The next republican will experience a level of contempt as shown in every election between them and democrats.

Nah… More like sky screaming and crying about literally everything Trump says or does and obsessing over your irrational hatred of him 24/7.

Repeating "cute" Democrat talking points qualifies at least as entry level.

Given how much thought you've put into this, you probably have whatever the highest level of TDS is. God speed.

lol this really did cross my mind. But I can't see how to apply it, since having TDS is 1 or 0. It's binary. There's only one axis on this chart

I mean, instead of 1-5, I suppose it can be 6-10.

Not at all. The man has his faults, but I love me some Trump. And that's before considering his opposition as my other option.

You could do it like that girl matrix and have different quadrants as you move up the axis. Below 0 is all MAGA! then areas like Panicans, people like Lindsey that change by the day, Jew haters, liberals, Karens, etc.

Just don't know what the axis would be. You'd have TDS level on one axis but what would the other axis be? It could be MAGA on one and TDS on the other. That would work.

Not after a large population of NPCs defended literal socialism Trump proposed, and got angry at people who pointed this out.

There's no such thing. Congratulations on being brainwashed by the corrupt political system and the corporate media.

I swear, after 10+ years about 30-40% of you still haven't figured out why the Political Establishment hated Donald Trump from the start.

if this is what occupies your mind, i’d recommend touching some grass and taking a break from the internet.

But what if there is though? The only time in my lifetime I can remember people have such unwavering and undying affection for a president is the way that black people felt about Obama.

Obama could do no wrong in the eyes of black folks, the same way that Trump can do no wrong in the eyes of so many people on this board. It's basically idol worship.
