Stage four of Trump Derangement Syndrome: Identifying the progress of a disease
American Thinker, Dec 28, 2017, Thomas Lifson

Like AIDS three decades ago, Trump Derangement Syndrome is a new ailment, whose full course of development is as yet unknown. But after a year since TDS exploded on the scene in early November 2016, we can observe the progress of the disease through four stages in certain acute sufferers. This offers hope that we may start to predict how the affliction may either spread or, alternatively, extinguish itself, should the rate of transmission to others be slowed by factors that we may be able to identify.

Progressives love to adopt what they call a “public health perspective” on things they oppose, such as possession of a firearm. This results in pediatricians asking parents if they have a gun in their house, among other oddities. But two can play that game. It is time to face the mass psychosis that has swept the at-risk population of the nation since the election of Donald Trump as president.

It is pretty clear that the first stages of TDS include:

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Yeah, I read it, IMO not one of Lifson's better offerings. There went 5 minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

TBR's been getting really boring lately. Trump supporters are doing their level best to inundate us with positivity about Trump. Differing opinions are met with teeth-baring remarks as to the patriotism and intelligence of those who disagree with them.

For the umpteenth, and last time, Trump's done some good things in his first year, such as Gorsuch and reducing regulations. I acknowledge it, and hope that he continues to grow in his office.

I read the damn  article.  It didn't dissuade me from @Oceander's observation one bit.  I don't agree with him much about Trump, but he nails this one.

I respect Thomas Lifson. I knew him on the old Compuserve Town Hall forum but I doubt that he remembers me.

I initially disliked Trump intensely, but I changed my mind after the election when he started to do the things he'd promised to do.

I still don't like the cultism that some of his supporters demonstrate.

She was. But she spawned a very excellent 90's band.

Technically, if we go by standard xml for single-tag markup, I think the forward slash should go after the label, not before, like so:

If we’re going to pretend the derivation came from XML, then it would be written with a space before the quote as in snicker / and really should be <snicker />.

I always assumed it came from IRC as they show actions as in /me thinks someone is pruerile which resulted in *aunubias thinks someone is pruerile or *anubias snickers.

My assumption could be misplaced of course.
