Maybe it's just me, but something else I've noticed is that more people seem to be refusing to engage with TDS (MDS/KDS). Someone upthread mentioned staying silent and watching the silence, or saying things like "yes yes, orange bad man very bad" and changing the subject. Upon reflection, I feel like it's been a long time since I saw anyone try and engage with the PMC's derangement syndromes. Even in mixed company, you'll get the eruption, maybe seconded by other believers, but no push back. People seem to have gotten better at treating it like a toddler's temper tantrum - don't argue, just murmur a few soothing words while they get it out of their system, then redirect their attention elsewhere. It's very different than it was a few years back, and least from my data points.
