#ConstitutionalDerangementSyndrome

1 post1 participant0 posts today

You’ve heard of Bush Derangement Syndrome, Obama Derangement Syndrome, and Trump Derangement Syndrome. That is when a group of people place irrational, pathological blame on the subject.

Now, the people in charge have Constitutional Derangement Syndrome.

They don’t hold allegiance to the thing they supposedly swore to God to uphold.

Hopefully, that frames the performance-challenge in our timeline effectively.

Ask me anything.

When I coined the term “Constitutional Derangement Syndrome” people thought I was a crazy person.

I’m learning to care much less about what other people think, cuz they’re just not paying attention to the •actual• crazy people.

Sunk cost, ego, and motivated reasoning are why we can’t have nice things.

Speaking only for myself, the frustration has been waiting for it be revealed to everyone else, vewy, vewy slooowly.

As a Renaissance geek, I can’t predict the future, but I can synthesize patterns of , and see around corners.
