Sullivan lost me when he said that he doesn't have TDS, but that Trump is deranged. That is LITERALLY the definition of TDS. Seriously dude, get help.
Based on really trying to listening to the discussion, it seems like if only Trump wouldn't destroy the Constitution, everything else he did was awesome (paraphrasing...). Sigh.

When will anti-Trumpers understand (Bill Maher applies here as well), that Trump simply appeals to people that believe they are not listened to. It's not much more complicated than that. For every progressive socialist and every university know-it-all (well, they think so anyway), for every political opponent that believes that their prosecution will be "the one", and for every media pundit that tries to make things more complex and "democracy-ending" about Trump, they fail miserably and he just gets more popular.
The only way to beat Trump is to come up with better candidates that really listen to Americans and have a reasonable plan to, um, make America great again...
Steve, the more I re-read your analysis, the more I think you are right on - in every aspect. I repeat, well said. (This, BTW, coming from a solid Right Of Center voter, who is no fan of Trump, who voted in three primaries for other candidates, but who will 3 times vote for Trump in the general election)
Steve - well said... TDS... I had to laugh when Sullivan downplayed that, and then gave a perfect example of why he himself is inflicted with the disease.
Exactly. We'll said. If we leave the political class to decide we get Biden or Newsom or Haley. Company men or women that will only pretend to care about the American people while lining their pockets with more corruption. Trump was the opposite of that.
Trump revealed the Uniparty to the American people. It has never been more obvious that we've always just had the illusion of choice. Either way we were getting the same thing. The fighting between Uniparty sides is mostly theatrics. They work across the aisle, they bend a knee. Because no one loses in the Uniparty.
Trump is not part of that club and can't be controlled. They will stop at nothing to stop him from infiltrating their club again and that includes harming the American people. Killing us even. I am not being hyperbolic. Look around at what they have already done in the attempt to get rid of him.
I think it is you who is not paying attention. Sullivan understands very well the exact reasons you stated that people like Trump. But that in no way means Sullivan's points aren't also valid.
I also don't hate all Trump policies, but being a seditionist is to me disqualifying, end of story. It doesn't matter what else Trump has to say; that disqualifies him from getting my vote anyway. He *did* encourage people to try and prevent the peaceful transfer of power. So, IMO, he is guilty of sedition.
Also, Trump is just a scumbag of a human. He disrespects literally everyone. For me, that also is disqualifying.
And no, I'm not a Biden supporter either, or a democrat.

Same :)
Brilliant minds think alike😁

We just said the same thing. I’m not a Trump fan either.
My primary point is that his TDS is overwhelming his ability to make rational observations.
I don't see him as having TDS. I agreed with almost every word he said. It's not deranged to recognize that Trump is in fact deranged.
TDS is real (e.g. Sam Harris), but I don't think Sullivan has TDS. I think he has a fair assessment of Trump.
Ok, we just won’t agree on the TDS point then. I still usually like Sullivan and I follow his substack, I just believe he’s had some misses lately.
