Remind him that in CA it's perfectly legal to give someone AIDS, but not OK to potentially give someone a flu that they have a >99% chance of surviving.

Cognitive behavioral therapy. He's got to break the TDS circuit. Unfortunately at this time, face to face therapy with a professional is not possible, but you could perhaps find some online resources to try a few things. (Full disclosure: It helped me with similar helpless rage issues.)

I find only a new source can reach those afflicted with TDS, that are friends and loved ones. You can't reach or teach them if you've known them for years

Lol I first thought this was about CV-19. But CNN induced TDS is much worse for your body.

Move.

Maybe suggest that he remove his TV if that's where the TDS infection is from.

Or just taking a day off from CNN if it's the internet. He might notice that he's much happier without CNN.

It won’t be easy because he doesn’t think he has a problem. He’s in that stage. I’m thinking of just pulling him aside and showing him how he is just alienating everyone around. He’ll either stop talking to me, which is no different than crazy today, or he’ll listen?

That’s all I can think of. With children its easy, you just redirect them to productive behavior. With adults, especially unrelated once, that I don’t know how to do.

Cut the TV cable going into his house.

A lot of my friends and family have TDS as well. I've also seen the same thing on the other end. My MIL is hopelessly addicted to Fox News. She won't take any phone calls at certain times of the day because she has to watch her Fox News. Then, she goes nuts. We were contemplating having an intervention with her because it's not healthy. With respect to TDS, I just can't intervene with anyone. They are so irrational that it's just hopeless.

I was at a function earlier and responded on my phone.

But let me just say, everyone I know that finally came around. It was because they met a new person, who's opinion and logic they trust, told them the same thing I had been telling them for several years. They call me up one day out of the blue, red pilled as fuck, telling me about their new friend. And get this, they can talk pro Trump with that friend, but still get irate when you bash Liberals, and Democrats and talk Pro Trump.

BUT! When the new variable is introduced in the same environment as me and my known TDS associate, that TDS associate becomes Pro Trump agreeable again.
It's like some people can't think for them selves, or be honest with themselves or you.

May be your neighbor needs an Alex Jones treatment:

Put this on your front lawn:

Kidnap him, and drop him in East LA or Baltimore.

People like that are super emotional thinkers. You have to draw them out and get them to talk about their feelings, and which ones are linked to politics. Maybe they had a friend deported or a contract cancelled due to local politics. It’s usually something stupid that’s making them think irrationally. Find out what that thing is and you can convert them very easily by asking them to explain why they feel that way. Like you really want to understand but really don’t know. And when they’re done, ask questions. Keep them honest gently. Ask them how they know certain things. Suggest that people have other opinions about that thing. And then ask them to find some evidence to the contrary just for shits and giggles. When you’re operating on the side of the truth, you have to lead people there with the Socratic method. They have to discover it themselves.

Yesterday a Latino friend who was so anti-Trump it was unbelievable converted. He said he still didn’t like a thing or two about Trump, but he was planning to vote for him.

Most deranged liberals try to hide their affliction, like herpes.
Some blurt out their nonsense when they lose control.
Almost universally they have a 1. Mental health reason 2. Financial reason 3. Nationality reason.

There is no cure but rather maybe comment that once upon a time American men were respected, White included. Lately they are not.

Yesterday my Mexican visitor made a joke about Trumps skin tone, but after I said that she and others didn’t like him calling some illegals rapists and criminals she admitted “He is right about that.”

One of my former Texas Mexican students was complaining that his girfriends' Tex Mex family is voting for Trump in droves...and he himself is not really anti-Trump after he got a good job and started bringing in $130K. Before it was: poor people are treated unfairly, now it is: taxes are too damn high...

Help me save my neighbor

Since in California, so called 'neighbors' are mainly known as 'proximate litigants', I'd just try to direct his wrath to some other victim.

TDS are like gorillas with truck tires: you just have to let them beat their infinite frustrations on something inanimate, hopefully.

Very good points.
I've noticed that as well.
EIther they are mental Bohemian types that thinks the world is their piss pot, or they are people who have made a very comfortable life for themselves, that gaurantees Dominion over those that are not Liberal Arts well conected and in a possition that they can never be fired without an act of Congress. Those same people relish at the thought of every middle class Nuclear family that were driven out of their job, homes and divorced and living in one br appartments or relatives. It's a fucking honor for them to hear about every single instance.
Then the most anoying reason of all, is the Foreigner Scumbags, that when this is all over, they should all have to go back to where in the FUCK these sedicious Fucks came from.
As soon as Trump started running, and they saw how skewed and unhinged the Left became, they have reveled in every second of it. They hate this country and everything about it, and they have made that very clear, while they thought that the Celebrity Agitating Communist Liberals were finally going to tip the country over, and open Lady Liberty's Legs for the Muslim Jihadigees and the Brown people and the everyone else. While making it clear that there's no room for White Nazi Racists.


I tell every foreign Cock Sucker that runs his mouth about America and Trump, to Get the Fuck OUT! They don't even have a right in this argument, and are exposing themselves as an interloper if they want to go that route.

I hope when all is settled we can go back to the tape and expel and deport all of the ones that raised their hands and lied under oath at their Citizenship swearing in ceremony.

That's when we all should get busy and dox the fuck out of them, and Cancel them ALL. They have no Fucking right in MY Country. If that's the best they can do.

remember...its easier to fool someone than to convince them that they have been fooled.

I suggest researching cognitive dissonance. How to trigger it greatly, and how to help them digest and land. An above advice seems legit by my experience... it can not come from you. If you somehow crack the shell or get an "in", co-study of logical fallacies and personal biases would be the long-term cure. Hell, you might even find something flawed in yourself with that. Introspection and self-reflection is increasingly rare by my observation.

Euthanasia may be your only option.

Seriously, it's the only humane choice. Put them down before they infect others. It's for the good of the herd, am I rite?

Ask the neighbor if he thinks it's OK to give illegal aliens stimulus money. That and if he really expects CA to get a federal bailout after doing that.

Get a homeless person to camp out on his porch a few times, and ask him how the cops reacted when they showed up 2 hours later.

That should do it.

I give up. He’s beyond help. He now posts in Facebook how he supports rioters because white privilege wont let us understand them (he’s white jewish). And thinks they have right to burn and loot.

Fuck it, not talking to him again.

He may be beyond help.

Then go loot his house and burn it at his invitation. After all, your ancestors came out Africa too.

People who have had too much academic education compared to their limited IQ are conditioned to be suicidal just like your neighbor.

People who have had too much academic education compared to their limited IQ

This is how I've always thought about over achieving, educated people. You put it into writing perfectly. My former boss had a degree and masters degree and was a complete and total moron. Same with another coworker there with a ph.d. Hell my own father got his undergrad, masters and law degree I think in 5 years. He actually did okay, but made some awful decision in the years leading up to the housing bust. He's gone now, but one real estate bet just paid off and my mom got half a million last month.

Then there's my 8 figure net worth uncle who can barely read and barely finished high school, who ran a successful construction business and got into real estate young. Now has multiple commercial/industrial properties paid off and cash flowing 20K/mo. Some of it's luck and some of it's hard work, and not work as in getting a bunch of pieces of paper from an institution.
