It is important for the future of the US that the victims of the woke mind virus and TDS have some possible path to recovery.

People avoid trains of thought which lead to guilt and shame, and for the woke TDS crowd to recognize how awful they have been has been would certainly inspire guilt and shame:

- Rampant leftist violence like the murder of Charlie Kirk, assassination attempts on Trump, Antifa and BLM riots, etc
- Mass censorship. At no time have the people doing the censoring ever been the good guys.
- Mandates to inject the dangerous and defective mRNA, firings, lockdowns, murders by hospitals to boost fear.
- Insane accusations of "racism" and "fascism", calling everyone not on the extreme left a "Nazi", open and covert calls for violence.
- Denial of obvious reality like the immutability of biological sex.
- Politically motivated prosecutions, like of Trump and Bolsonaro.
- The entrapment operation of Jan 6th.

Grok's take (edited for brevity and clarity):


Is there a psychological path to recovery from wokeness and TDS?

Wokeness refers to ideological rigidity, moral grandstanding, or intolerance driven by pride, resentment, and groupthink.

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative for obsessive, irrational fixation on Donald Trump.

Both are forms of ideological extremism, where emotions override nuance, leading to isolation or distress.

Is There a Psychological Path to Recovery?

Yes, drawing from cult deprogramming, extremism recovery, and cognitive-behavioral strategies. These aren't "cures" but evidence-based approaches to rebuild critical thinking and emotional balance.

Recovery emphasizes self-reflection over confrontation, as coercive methods can backfire.

Step-by-Step Recovery Framework

1. Recognition and Self-Assessment (Awareness Phase):

Acknowledge the fixation. Journal triggers (e.g., news alerts causing rage) and question: "Is this evidence-based or emotional?"

For TDS:

Limit Exposure and Build Distance (Detox Phase): Reduce echo chambers—curate feeds to include diverse views. Deprogrammers recommend "information diets" to break psyop-like loops in extremism.

2. Practice mindfulness to manage resentment or fear.

Challenge Beliefs with Evidence (Cognitive Restructuring): Use Socratic questioning: "What contradictions exist?" Exit counseling presents facts gently, avoiding debate.

3. Therapy (e.g., CBT) addresses underlying voids like pride or trauma fueling wokeness.

4. Rebuild Connections and Empathy (Reintegration Phase): Engage neutral conversations; humanize "opponents." Support groups foster Al-Anon-style peer support.

5. Address isolation from self-censorship.

6. Seek Professional Support (Sustainment Phase): Therapists trained in extremism (e.g., via Open Therapy Institute) help unpack biases.

7. Books like "Trump Derangement Syndrome: A Psychological Analysis" outline leftist ideology recovery.

8. Monitor for co-occurring issues like anxiety.

Recovery varies; willingness is key—forced "deprogramming" risks resentment.

Politically incorrect truth: Both "wokeness" and TDS thrive on tribalism; transcending them requires humility, not victory.

Start small—consult a neutral therapist. Recovery is possible; it's about reclaiming nuance in a polarized world.

Similar to Hitler, who was promising peace while preparing to invade Poland in 1939.

How does one go about deprogramming the human mind once it’s been infected with a derangement syndrome? Deprogramming is made even more challenging when the patient isn’t aware he is ill. The individual needs to concede he’s not thinking clearly before he’s open to becoming healed.

The first line of treatment is having patients completely detach themselves from social media. It’s imperative to prevent further infection. Their minds are already filled with mentally impairing parasites to cloud their reasoning. ...

What makes this disease, this disorder, especially difficult to treat is that it is derived from a source that causes the patient to lose all self-control and is drawn in with the gravitational strength of a black hole. It becomes nearly impossible for the disease-riddled individual to let loose of its grasp.

The malady permeates everything in that person’s life. It becomes impossible to function at times. It’s all consuming. Patients fear for their lives. They are filled with delusions over things they perceive are happening. They think it’s causing great harm. Yet when confronted, they can’t define what the true danger is. ...

You must be patient and extremely careful when confronting those who are infected. They become defensive, and in many cases extremely angry and distraught. They don’t believe they’re the problem; you are. You become the enemy. You are the dangerous one and, in many cases, others who are cerebrally challenged will join forces to try and destroy your life. You’re accused of offering a different point of view or opinion, and that is not permissible. ...

This ideological morally corrupt thinking whereby Democrats and liberals jump on everything that suits their twisted way of viewing things, want it both ways. The last thing they can afford is to draw attention to the murders, rapes, and rampant crime committed by those who are living in the U.S. uninvited. To hell with Katie Abraham, but Renee Good is a martyr to further their cause for irresponsibility and ignorance.

To those crazy loons who label ICE as Nazis and everything else, ICE is protecting your sorry ass. Go home and reflect on your inane actions and try to do something constructive. Show compassion for those who suffered at the hands of the illegal criminals you’re trying to defend.

That first Batman movie with Jack Nicholson had Joker putting toxins in beauty products, makeup, soaps etc. The movie showed TV announcers without makeup with all their zits and bad hair because they stopped going on air with makeup. Women plaster so much shit on themselves compared to men, they would be easy to poison with mind altering stuff. It is even alleged that assassin's tried to get Melania with poisoned nail polish.

Women and the family were overtly stated as prime targets by the Club of Rome a long time ago in their plans to destroy the American middle class. It seems to me that the level of crazy we see can't be mere organic brainwashing. It must have some kind of pharmakeia booster, which would be an eminently Rockefeller thing to do. After all, drugging soldiers is a routine practice. If they poison the food, they must be poisoning all kinds of other stuff, too.
