I have no TDS (clue, it's not a thing). I see Donald Trump for who he is.
I have a college friend who posts often on FB... or, at least he did
until the election was decided. He hung on Trump's every word, even
more than Aaron or Joe appear to, and was constantly posting about
Trump. The difference is that this friend is not a MAGA and detests "Cheeto Jesus" (his words). Otherwise he, like the most ardent MAGAs, couldn't get enough of Trump.
IMHO, that is an unhealthy obsession with someone you don't like. Not sure what the official term for that would be but "TDS" would seem to
fit the bill in this instance.

I think TDS is a thing. Most people accused of having it just because they question certain things Trump has done *don't* have it.

There's 2 strains of the TDS virus and they both have opposite effects.

I tend to think of TDS as something MAGAs suffer from in spite of everthing Trump we have seen and heard since the ride down the golden escalator.

If you are meaning that one of them is not agreeing with everything Trump says or does, that is not TDS. Just like not agreeing with everything that Obama said and did didn't mean some of us had ODS.

No I just mean that there's a population that loves Trump excessively,
and there's a population that hates him excessively.
I don't think there are a lot of people who are in-between (perhaps you and a few others.)

My dad has always voted Republican but he refused to vote this
year because he's disappointed in Trump because over the January 6 incident.

Personally, I think you are wrong here.
I believe that the number of people at the extremes are small.
I think most people are more in-between, running the range of "I kinda like the guy" to "he's a boor, but I like cheap gas, cheap food and no wars."
That's what shifted things for this election. The in-between people
left their idological safe-spaces when Bidenomics started messing with their lives.

Here maybe not, but I think there are a lot of people who don't really like Trump as a person but find him a preferable choice to what the Democrats are offering -- meaning they don't hate him enough not to vote for him, or to vote for Harris.

Your dad and I may have something in common, assuming that he also didn't vote for Bi... I mean Harris. ;)

Yea, most people don't care about politics, or at least they didn't
care until Biden gave them a reason to care.
They might not have Trump
flags attached to their vehicles, but I think they're gonna stick with
us from here on out.

Yea, that's what Ron says also. I realize that. There are a lot of people who don't care about politics until a politician noticeably hurts them, and that could describe the majority of voters.

Yea, he didn't do that. But I don't think he realizes that not voting equates to a vote for Harris.

I don't know what state he lives in but here I knew it did *not* equate
to that. In 2016, OTOH, I was not so sure so I voted for Trump even though I was not thrilled with either choice. I found him to be the preferable loudmouth to Hillary and didn't want to cast a vote that equated to voting for her.
This time, there were a lot of local things that I really wanted to get
my vote cast on, like an Amendment that clearly states that non-citizens cannot vote (I voted for it and it passed) and some non-partisan local government races.

My dad lives in NY. He abstained from voting and our state was won by Harris.

That's cool! And you already have the voer ID law, so your state is making strides despite the hickup of accidentally electing Beshear.
Donald Trump's sentencing is set for July 11, 2024, just days before the Republican National Convention kicks off. So, we're in this strange limbo wher
he's guilty of felony crimes but not quite a convicted felon - at least not until he gets his official sentence. During sentencing, the judge will decide his fate, which could range from a slap on the wrist to time behind bars. Trump's crimes fall under the Class E felony category in New York, which is th
lowest level of felony in the state. He could face a fine, probation, or up to
four years in prison.
I have posted this to you 3 or 4 times.
Is there something there you don't understand??
Lets not get to deep into the weeds because if you don't understand this... everything else is pointless.
Please explain yourself.
I didn't want to add a second item so as I might confuse you.
Here is a lawyer explaining that Judges can throwout jury convictions, not if they are found innocent but if they are found guilty.
This is why it takes the final judges sentencing to seal the deal.

This is some of the most remedial aspects to US law... I'm sure you should have taken it in Civics class...
Trump is not a felon yet.
