"I'm Too Esoteric and Based for Trump" Syndrome
TDS but from right-wing internet poasters
President Trump once warned us that we would get tired of winning. We have yet to see if this is true. But for many otherwise reasonable and intelligent people on the internet right, the lack of winning between 2020 and 2024 created the opposite problem: no win was a win anymore. Nothing that Trump could say or do could be good. It is always some psyop, some sneaky way to upset some niche internet ideology.
This is a new kind of Trump Derangement Syndrome: Too Esoteric and Based Syndrome (TEBS).
TEBS was around a little bit before the election. A few prominent poasters were counter-signaling early. We gave them the benefit of the doubt because Trump 1 had some issues. He could have done better on Israel, and Operation Warp Speed was one of the first steps in the two-year medical tyranny we all endured. But for the most part, it was annoying. Trump needed to win. The alternative was Kamala “Who doesn’t love a yellow school bus? HEEHEEHEE!” Harris and probable nuclear war with Russia.
I will not name those afflicted with TEBS, but I do like some of them. They are intelligent individuals, and I have sometimes patronized their work. But they could not handle the four years of terminal black pilling. Now, anything that Trump does is 4D chess, but in a bad way. His actions are specifically taken to upset some niche internet ideology.
The TEBS-afflicted have become allergic to any victory, any win over the left. Trump’s actions are not good enough because they do not perfectly conform to some niche internet ideology. Anything good that Trump does is a distraction from his total inaction. Trump is not good because instead of schizoposting on the campaign trail, he talked about what the American people wanted and needed. Instead of launching nuclear missiles at Israel on day one, he worked to establish peace in the region (still a work in progress). And instead of plunging the United States into total Luddism, he decided to take pragmatic steps on AI to compete with our greatest global adversary.
Archetypes of TEBS
TEBS comes in various forms. There is no one-size-fits-all description of the TEBS-havers, but here are some archetypes:

@phlndrws Same here. And on the Ultra Cursor plan they are very generous with Composer 2.5 usage. I do all my planning with Claude and hand off prompts to Composer, but this makes me wonder if I should just stil with composer 100%
@phlndrws I tried Gemini CLI. First thing it did - put environment secrets on a private repo, then made the repo public. Second thing it did - crashed production. Have never used it again.
🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
@heretic027@RealDonKeith@paoramos Yes - colour is exactly like race.
Excellent analogy, Thankyou.
yes, colours are on a continuum too. There’s no natural border between yellow and green.
A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc. Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!
@MrSausageGet Yeah that's because border turn aways have always counted, and nobody is showing up to the border to turn away anymore. This is well known and it's obvious that you're either a bad faith provocateur or someone with TEBS.
@thesanityrevolt Loved the Martian years ago and have been meaning to get around to this book. Now that there’s movie chatter I ordered it so I can read it unspoiled
@robertlasagna1 4D is pretty much just shape rotation with a temporal component, no? Grasping a causaul relationship in a mental 3D object, something sequential?
@greengarry_@Buckingham_Show Have you ever been to a hospital? Not everything is plugged in all the time. 85% of the stuff in many hospital rooms is never used for a given patient. Like saying someone faked a nosebleed because they didn't go in an MRI.
@greengarry_@Icekiller369@Buckingham_Show Because any sane person's last concern when they are facing health issues is assuaging the concerns of schizophrenic losers on the internet
@iamgingertrash Amazon operated at a loss for years to dominate their market. There’s loads of competition, companies are driving down their prices and providing their products at a loss to try to outcompete the other AI companies.
