The TDS epidemic has gotten way out of hand. The rhetoric is ridiculous: it was bad enough when the Impeachment Task Force’s Alyssa Milano tweeted that the red MAGA hat was the new Klan hood; then The Wrap gave her space for an op-ed expanding on her tweet. Of course, a lot of this grew out of the Covington Catholic kids wearing MAGA hats to a pro-life march, after which “Beauty and the Beast” producer Jack Morrissey tweeted a graphic image of #MAGAkids going screaming, hats first, into the woodchipper.
And then there was the attack on white women who voted for Donald Trump. Jessica Valenti tweeted that they were at the Charlottesville white supremacy rally in spirit, and they were shamed by Soledad O’Brien and many others.
But today’s target is white men who voted for Trump. Michael Moore goes turbo with the TDS madness by suggesting on a podcast that you cross the street if you see three white men coming toward you. Two of them voted for Trump, and you should be afraid.
Michael Moore: “Anytime you see three white guys walking at you, down the street towards you, two of them voted for Trump."

Believe us — if we saw Michael Moore and two other white men coming toward us, we’d cross the street.

Meanwhile, he shills for a regime that committed aggravated assault – real gun violence – against my father and aunt, who were just children at the time. He shills for a regime that plunged all countries they touched into starvation and civil war. I should be afraid of him.

If you see 3 Chavistas walking down the street. These are not nice people. They voted for Maduro. You can sure pick them Michael.

Absolutely ludicrous statement from a deranged individual. The guy isn’t even relevant to anything happening.

To pre-judge, is to be prejudiced. We used to call racism that.

So people voted for Trump! So what! The day Trump won, the media (most of the Left oriented) went against the voters. I for one am a classic liberal and not a progressive. I am at the center but even my ideology to pick and choose rationally is shunned by the media. Why?

Any time you see three white guys walking down the street, two of them work 40 hours a week to provide goods and services you enjoy. Go up and thank them.

What should they do if the see Michael Moore, Rob Reiner and Steven King walking down the street? Oh wait, they ride in limos paid for by money earned through capitalist endeavors

Is he being ironic, or encouraging bigotry?

That is probably a definition of Paranoia.

He’s a sick, sorry man.

Fortunately, most sane, rational people in everyday life understand this notion is silly. It's only people in the media and entertainment world that actually think like this…?

Very afraid Michael. Yes very afraid….

Guess @MMFlint has been too busy with his enormously successful career to watch the hundreds of online videos of thugs assaulting people of all races and genders who are wearing MAGA hats.

If I was him and was walking down the street, I’d be scared too. He’s projecting his own reality on everybody else…But the truth is quite in contrast for everybody not Michael Moore.

The bubble these people are speaking into is getting smaller and smaller

Wow, it’s full on TDS level 10 for everyone right now.

So it’s best just not to leave your house because you might encounter a white guy who voted for Trump and put yourself in harm’s way.
