Trump Derangement Syndrome.... Doesn't exist Disagreeing with or disliking Donald Trump does not equal TDS.. but with the number of MAGA hat wearing folks who get confronted and attacked simply for wearing the hat, I would say that it absolutely does exist... just not to the extent the right wants you to believe. I'm not all about the Whataboutisms out there, but damn, what do you call all the MAGA hat wearing wing nuts attacking blacks, jews etc.. Please, don't even think about telling me about the poor MEGA hatted people.. They bring all that crap on themselves.. Ain't nobody innocent in this mess, and that I blame squarely on the shoulders of Donald Trump,,, The worlds leading hate monger... He didn't cause it, but he let it out of the bag.. He made it ok to hate

Ah yes, a thread about Nick Bosa and a couple of tweets he liked turned into GOPers are slavery loving nazis.
How very typical. But please do, proceed in telling me how TDS doesn't exist.

You are right. The Civil War was much more about other things, such as industry vs agriculture and state's rights than it was about slavery. Hell, there were slaves in the North. Google Freedom Notes.
But, like almost everything on this board, facts are not important. Agendas are.
That goes for both sides. How was a vast majority of the Southern agriculture handled? Slaves maybe? The South feared the collapse of their slave based economy That obviously wasn't the only issue, but it was the predominant issue. This is it exactly. Their entire economy would have collapsed with the end to slavery. This was why the Civil war happened in the first place.

How very typical. But please do, proceed in telling me how TDS doesn't exist. Making excuses why the president excuses those that stand beside Nazi's and White Supremacists. And you're using a broad brush again. Nobody is saying that all Republicans are Nazi's. What they ARE saying is that Trump has helped to embolden them and create an atmosphere where they are acting more on their hate. Hate crimes have been on a steep increase since Trump has been elected. Making excuses for it and blaming others for pointing that out only exasperates the point. You have Trump spreading lies, fear and hate. Then wish to shift the blame to the other side for pointing it out. But, that's the Trumpian way.

Not all, just anyone who wears a MAGA hat apparently it's the new KKK hood. This thread about Nick Bosa immediately turned into slavery and nazis. This is a near constant troll.

As with most threads it turned away from Bosa rather quickly into something else entirely.
And while a MAGA hat isn't intended that way by many who wear it, for some it is.

I had a "Make America Great Again" hat, because I liked the slogan, but I won't wear it do to the way people perceive it, and automatically assume it means I am racist, white supremacist, and a Trump supporter.
It is now relegated to my working in the yard or on the car hat.

Pretty much when he already explained why he no longer wore the hat. So yeah, at that point.

I don't think that is off the rails whatsoever, I think it is a very valid follow up question to the "everyone who wears a MAGA hat is a NAZI" and "Punch nazis in the face" thing OCD and his kind have been perpetuating for years.

It is now relegated to my working in the yard or on the car hat. Be honest, you don't want to be assaulted and fear that is a probable outcome. True or False? But you didn't respond to either of the posters you mentioned. Rather you questioned someone who had already explained exactly why he didn't wear the hat. It was explained and yet you decided to question his explanation. So your claim of it being a follow up question to, "I think it is a very valid follow up question to the "everyone who wears a MAGA hat is a NAZI" and "Punch nazis in the face" thing OCD and his kind have been perpetuating for years" isn't accurate at all. It wasn't a follow up question to anything of the sort actually.

Wear the hat if you’re so proud of it. Basic complaining about what liberal snowflakes will say/do means y’all must not have that much conviction in what you believe.
Got posters suing about what a hat might bring, yet my skin tone has invited hate since the end of slavery but you tell us to get over it.
Well, get over it. Wear your hat and be proud.

I disagree, it is an exceptionally valid follow up question. To make it more clear, it is asking whether just the belief that one is a racist or nazi is enough to make him not wear the hat, or is it the belief that an actual violent assault is probable. Or, just how dangerous are the crazy nutbags?
As for OCD, to believe that one sees Nazis everywhere, to hold the idea that one is regularly punching Nazis in the face, when one of the largest groups of such in the country consists of 40 dudes who would rather hang out in the basement and drink beer, while doing nothing at all, THIS BELIEF, is not the act of a sane or rational mind.

Not sure why you would group those two together.
The Jews can tell you what Racism and Persecution is all about. They also demonstrate the template for How To Beat It.
Hint: It is not by whining and waiting for SomeBody Else to address the problem.

That goes for both sides. I am pretty sure I remember from previous posts you were an educator and something makes me think the subject was history. Thank you for trying to bring some logic and civility to the discussion. AS I get older in some parts of my life I am very set in my ways, but surprisingly, as I have aged I feel that there are many different opinions and I can respect them if I don't agree. I don't even have to like it, but I can try to understand why they might think like that.

Maybe not a full on assault at lowes, but being harassed in public, by strangers for hat is really not ok. It's bullying, it's intimidation that maybe not this time but you never know. Just look in this thread, you have extremists calling me alt right for asking a follow up question to your post. I never got a hat, but if I did, I would leave the house prepared to defend myself.

Well, I think that's what I said initially. Not that I would be assaulted, but that people perceptions of what it means are not worth the trouble. I'm more likely to be assaulted because some arrogant jerk on a cell phone blocks the intersection and I pull right up to their door and lay on my horn. Actually had a guy point to his phone and looked at me like "Dude, I can't hear my call over your horn." Cops never seem to be around when these morons are out.

So it seems he's more concerned about blowing his horn at a cell phone user that being assaulted by wearing a MAGA hat.
So much for that theory. And no, yelling at someone is not being assaulted. But now you've changed being assaulted to being bullied.
