Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) is a term used to describe the state of mind of opponents to a person's view. It can be universally applied from either side of a discussion. In either shape, it deals with fervent opponents or proponents of the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush, and his administration, associates, affiliates and supporters.
The term BDS is usually applied in a tongue-in-cheek manner for a derogatory purpose to imply that an opponent cannot be reasoned with. Some may also explicitly describe themselves as suffering from BDS (also then in a more or less toungue-in-cheek manner) to describe their politically opposed stance to the 43rd U.S. Administration. The term can be defined in two distinct classes BDS-sub-P and BDS-sub-O, which are diametrically opposed in meaning and use.
BDS-sub-P is the description of BDS as defined by a proponent of the 43rd US Administration.
"Bush Derangement Syndrome: the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of George W. Bush." — Charles Krauthammer
BDS-sub-O is the description of BDS as defined by an opponent of the 43rd US Administration.
"The irrational belief, despite all factual evidence to the contrary, that President George W. Bush has been truthful and successful in the execution of his policies, and that his actions are in the best interests of the United States." — Unknown.
