I believe I've come up with a reasonable definition.<br /><br />"ODS" - a term used by illiberal, reactionary fanatics devoted to the current president of the United States, to describe their perceived foes. A tactic of psychological projection, an "Obama Derangement Syndrome" certainly <i>does</i> exist, but the real sickness manifests itself in the devotees of the man through their belief that the man has super powers and can do no wrong, ever, at any time. Also, that all of those who have any problem whatsoever with him must be racists, and / or Republicans. This is another instance of projection on the part of ODS sufferers. This level of hero worship usually only shows itself long after the object of their obsession is gone, as in later purified legendary folkloric tales of past leaders like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, etc. Why the level of fanatical, extremist devotion to the current president, not only during his lifetime but before his first term is even over, exists in the present day, is a question to be answered by future cultural historians.<br /><br />Did I miss anything?<br /><br />We need some open threads here. I should post one soon. :)JayinPhiladelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556212008313470286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-60448198910093282742012-08-16T18:58:11.774-07:002012-08-16T18:58:11.774-07:00Heh!
