It’s not that you’re willfully ignorant of the critique, you already know what it is. It’s TDS. Case closed.

Pre-sorting all criticism as reflexive and not necessarily justified is a rationalization for you not trying to understand other perspectives.

Edit: it seems like my message was ambiguous. Fuck Donald Trump, I’ve got a bottle to pop when he dies and I’ll never let you fuckers live down what you’ve done.

Well said, although there are legitimate critiques of the admin to be had even from the well-adjusted, especially recently.
"TDS" is not a thing. It's a made-up term that people accuse others of, because they can't cover up a felonious president's many failings, lies, graft, and corruption. You use it to try to discredit a person who is rightly criticizing criminality, but you only discredit yourself when you use "TDS".
I, the person you replied to, was mocking the concept of TDS. I apologize if my intent was unclear to you, I’ll try harder in the future.
The link in this post is to a website NASA is using to try to hire engineers.

Your comment is about how much you hate Trump.

TDS is a phenomenon where people have to bring up how much they hate Trump in every conversation, even when it is unrelated to the topic at hand.

Hysterical nonsense like this just lends credence to TDS
