“Clinton Derangement Syndrome” was coined to mock the cottage industry of right-wing conspiracy creators, talk-radio shitheads, and batshit evangelicals that culminated in ‘her emails’ and pizzagate.
They stole it, and think it’s really clever, not knowing where it came from either.
You sure? I thought Krauthammer dreamt it up to talk about people that…took issue with W over a war of choice built on lies because of bloodthirsty conservatives. Yeah, those people criticizing Bush over a quagmire sure were the ones with “derangement”. Definitely NOT people like Krauthammer, who thought the war would be over in three weeks.
Anyway, I’ve 100% retconned it to talk about the phenomenon of the 90s, because the right lost their fucking minds then over anything related to Bill or Hillary. Absolutely batshit insane.
They concocted about a billion “-gates” with the help of the Murc’s Law Media. They had these people going from Limbaugh clone to Limbaugh clone, spinning tales of how Clinton was running drugs out of the Arkansas governor’s mansion. They sent each other absurd email forwards, like “The Body Count” email. They imagined that Janet Reno was going to put all “patriots” - which only means conservatives of course - into FEMA death camps. They thought that things like Ruby Ridge and Waco meant the “New World Order” (represented by both Bush Senior and Clinton) were opening up a war on the sovereignty of the bible-bangin’ Constitution-lovin’ gun-humpin’ “patriots”.
All this while…both Clintons are probably center-right and definitely had outcomes that were very business-friendly and from the conservative wish list and while these unhinged nutjobs were trying to rewrite all the history about Ronnie Raygun, a man whose “movement” truly did so much to destroy actual freedom, and not just in the United States.
