Each presidential administration over the past 30 years has a committed opposition faction.
That opposition faction becomes deranged. It starts attributing all manner of real and imagined root-cause to its boogieman.
In the 90’s, Clinton Derangement Syndrome was expressed by those convinced that Bill and Hillary killed their friend Vince Foster.
After 9/11 and then Katrina, it was easy to develop Bush Derangement Syndrome to explain a host of decisions and outcomes.
Obama Derangement Syndrome was a precondition to join the 2009 Tea Party movement.
The condition of Trump Derangement Syndrome was early onset and symptoms spiraled rapidly.
Since then, a new condition developed to stand in for the root-cause, the justification for conspiracy theories, the flaw behind so many decisions and outcomes, the institution that must be destroyed, with goalposts moving rapidly: Constitutional Derangement Syndrome.
