Opus 2025-535: Is TDS Congenital?

I’m seeing more and more people who are expressing their latent Never Trump attitudes in just about everything they do.  I have a couple of websites that I have gone to consistently because they were generally conservative and seemed to keep their finger on the pulse of what was happening in the world.  One that I still check every morning is populated by people who never really came out of the closet, but are Never Trumper’s in their hearts.  I’m seeing other people who kind of give backhanded compliments and subtle insults.  I think that TDS maybe something which goes deeper than just political opinions or current emotional myopia.  I think it may be genetic.  Congenital is a medical term for conditions that are genetic rather than environmental.

I’m wondering if over the years we haven’t had a process of micro-evolution going on where people who have this TDS gene, been drawn to each other, produced children and perpetuated this trait.  I wanted to call it a disability but that seemed unkind.  Think of it as if people who are colorblind would be drawn to other people who are colorblind and over the process of generations, they would produce a population where most people were colorblind.  A mental attitude that refuses to accept Trump could be expressed in other areas of life, and we just didn’t notice it until the catalyst appeared.

I’m wondering if this genetic material is still at work in the psyops that we see going on all around us.  I’m watching people attack Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens because they have express opinions that were critical of Israel.  I don’t follow either one of them so I can’t really comment, but I will do it anyway.  What little I have heard that they’ve said over the years has been very solid.  It used to be this was considered the exercise of free speech and debate.  Now it’s the heresy of stepping outside of orthodoxy.

The country is being divided.  It’s nothing new.  It’s happened before.  I think it’s time for something to shake us up so that we again start crossbreeding.  Things like color blindness exist all around us.  I would be willing to admit that some of that color blindness results in some of the obnoxious styles and fashions we see, but generally speaking it’s spread out enough that it doesn’t make any significant difference in our culture.  It would be nice if we could breed the TDS gene out of our system also.  It’s too late for our opinions of Donald Trump, but it might make a difference 100 years from now, assuming we’re still here.
