Says the Chickenheads.
To quote Philip K. Dick
We're now at the point where Donald Trump can claim "productive negotiations" with Iran, delay strikes, and posture like a deal is imminent… while Iran flatly denies that any talks are even happening.
That's not strategy, that's either chaos or spin, and neither of those inspires confidence.
And yet here you are, still trying to defend it.
The desperation to run cover for him, even when he's caught out making claims that don't line up with reality, even when he's clearly trying to step back from escalation he himself created, is exactly what people mean when they talk about TDS, just not in the way you think.
Because blind loyalty that ignores contradictions, ignores evidence, and just reflexively defends whatever he says, isn't political analysis. It's tribalism.
At some point you have to decide whether you care about outcomes, or just about backing your team no matter how messy it gets.
You are the purest example of TDS on this forum, just not in the way you think. The projection is obvious. You throw around "TDS" as a get-out-of-jail-free card because it saves you from having to engage with substance. It lets you dodge evidence, dodge accountability, and pretend that pointing out inconsistencies is somehow the problem, rather than the inconsistencies themselves.
On some level, you know that. Otherwise you wouldn't need the label.
Because if your position actually held up, you'd defend it with facts, not slogans. Instead, it's just deflection layered over blind loyalty, and it shows.
