Norwegian law allows for a criminal to remain in custody indefinitely if they're deemed a danger to society and beyond rehabilitation.

A trope that can apply to all homophobic fundies, Feeling Oppressed By Their Existence. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence)

Would Glenn Beck being against SOPA be an example of "Even Evil Has Standards?"
-
Ron Paul is a Villain with Good Publicity.
Most Republicans are to some extent Villains With Good Publicity thanks to Fox News
-
Would Glenn Beck being against SOPA be an example of "Even Evil Has Standards?"
Yeah, that sounds about right.
TV tropes does have a page for infamous youtuber VenomFangX (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VenomFangX)
Though I wonder how long it is until it's deleted.
-
Straw Hypocrite- Pretty much all Republican Candidates, but Romney (for criticizing Obamacare) and Gingrich (For Criticizing Clinton and Romney about Bain) stand out.
Rick Santorum
Crowning Moment of Awesome- Getting Glitterbombed.
Family Honor- The communist Santorums in Italy are not fans of him.
Insane Troll Logic- This- http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=84373
Jerkass Has A point- claimed if Gay people can get married, polygamists should too
Just for Pun- Santorum is surging. Santorum Stinks. Glitter sticks to Santorum. Romney doesn't want Santorum trailing behind him.
Neologism- Ooh boy...
No Such Thing As Bad Publicity- If he never brought up his "Google Problem", the link probably would have been forgotten by many.
Sliding Scale of Authoritarianism and Libertarianism- Very, very Authoritarian. To the point of banning contraceptives
Straw Hypocrite- Sued doctor for $500,000 for medical malpractice when he wanted the maximum to be $250,000
What an Idiot- Nearly everything he does, although comparing Gay Sex to bestiality sticks out the most since it gave his name a meaning.
-
Barack Obama (YMMV on this)
Only Sane Man
Hero With Bad Publicity
-
What the Hell Hero- passing NDAA
-
Nominating that we add Nepotism to George W. Bush.
-
I think we should add Magnificent Bastard to Dick Cheney's list...You can't be a Evil overlord without being a Magnificent Bastard also,the two go hand in hand ,just sayin'.
-
While Cheney is evil, you cannot deny the man was cunning. And ruthless.
He manipulated an impressionable idiot from a rich family into making him the most powerful VP in American History, he got away with murder, and teamed up with Wolfowitz and others to support a plan that essentially made Cheney into a one man version of The Patriots.
Mitt Romney
-Affably Evil: Well, until you piss him off or ask certain questions. Leading into...
--Villainous Breakdown: He has a lot of these, if Politico is to be believed.
-Manipulative Bastard: He played a lot of people into thinking his ascent would be inevitable.
-Smug Snake: He only wishes he was as clever as the Bush Regime Masterminds.
-
Also for the Tea Party:
The Dragon (to the GOP and the uber-wealthy)
-
Also for the Tea Party:
The Dragon (to the GOP and the uber-wealthy)
Really? I view them as The Starscream. Right now they're acting all sweet and overtly loyal, but soon they'll try to take out the old republicans and replace them with those that are The Fundamentalist.
-
Rick Perry
-Smug Snake
-Good Ol Boy
-Moral Event Horizon (his "Strong" video)
-What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome? ("I'm not afraid to admit I'm Christian")
-What An Idiot (He should have realized his "Strong" video would not have gone over well)
Jack Hyles (from the main page)
-Abusive Parent: Here. (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=23139)
-Complete Monster: He threatens people with hellfire if they don't beat their kids. Nuff said.
-Crosses the Line Twice: Here (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=32006) he encourages his son to continue beating up a kid for calling his sister a name. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DisproportionateRetribution)
-Family Unfriendly Aseop: Right Here. (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=32006)
-Straw Misogynist: Many examples, but this one (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=32043) sticks out.
-Values Dissonance: Suffers from this.
-
Republicans in general:
It's All About Me
Politically Incorrect Villain
Villain With Good Publicity (again, thanks to Fox)
Too Dumb To Live
The Millstone (because their policies cause so many things to go wrong for America)
Smug Snake
Jerk Ass
Kill The Poor
Complete Monster (some of them, not all)
For The Evulz
Knight Templar
The Fundamentalist
Kick The Dog (the dog being the poor, minorities, women, etc.)

Not fundies, nor politicians, but two people from last year who I really despise.
Amy Chua: An Academic fundie who thinks western parents are too week because they let their kids have fun. She is also a massive control freak here is an article. (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704111504576059713528698754.html) Be warned, this contains High Octane Nightmare Fuel.
Tropes
-Abusive Parent: And How!
-Broken Base: Some people actually think she's right.
-Complete Monster: The emotional abuse she puts her daughters through goes beyond well intented extremist. Not letting her daughter use the bathroom until she finishes the song was her Moral Event Horizon.
-Education Mama: Is this in spades.
-Family Unfriendly Aseop: So many to choose from.
-Heel Face Turn: It appears that she regrets some of her more extreme methods now. However, from what I read, she's still pretty extreme.
-Jerkass: Understatement of the century.
-My Beloved Smother: Another understatement.
-Politically Incorrect Villain: She thinks those who aren't super successful are "losers", and also comes across as pretty racist in the article.
-Smug Snake: She could be the queen of smug snakes.
-Strawman Has A Point: Yes Amy, a child's self esteem is important. It's also important for them to have fun.
-Up To The Eleven: Again, her methods are a lot of tropes taken to extreme levels.
Second Person: Judge William Adams. Lesser evil, but still pretty disturbing. Family court judge who dealt with child abuse cases. Gained attention when his daughter uploaded a video she recorded of him beating her with a belt. Here is a link to the video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl9y3SIPt7o) This too, contains High Octane Nightmare Fuel.
Tropes
-Abusive Parent: Though not as extreme or terrifying as Chua, he still qualifies.
-Break The Cutie: "I'm gonna beat you into submission".
-Cluster F Bombs: Uses this a lot in the video.
-Corrupt Hick: According to his daughter, he had a lot of influence over the small town they lived in.
-Jerkass: He doesn't come across as very sympathetic.
-Karma Houdini: Though he suffered some internet backlash after the release of the video, he is apparently still a judge after only a small suspension (with pay!)
-Manipulative Bastard: Was able to convince the world that his daughter was blackmailing him over a mercedes. YMMV on how true that is though.
-Smug Snake: Comes across this way in the interview.
-Would Hit A Girl: Shows no restraint beating his daughter and actually seems to get off on it. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ForTheEvulz)
God TVtropes is fun.

I'd like to put forth FSTDT as a site for:

We engage in the Group Hug
And we love At Least I Admit It

This isn't a trope, but it should be for many Republicans:
Have I Mentioned I Am Christian Today?
-

You should go suggest that over on the site. If enough people back it they'll make it a trope.

How do I submit a suggestion?
If you have an account you click on YKTTW on the top of the screen. It will take you to a section called "You Know That Thing Where" and a list of suggestions that have already been made. If your suggestion isn't on the list you can submit it.
-
Another trope that I was thinking of posting, but was too lazy to get around to it, "Why Is Everybody Picking On Me?".
This is the tendency for a jerkass or even complete monster to try to make it seem like everyone is picking on him or her. In reality, everyone is reacting to their jerkiness. Often played for laughs, but is very common in real life, particularly with conservatives or religious people. You see this all the time on FSTDT. Fundies claim that the worlds strong negative reaction toward their views is a sign of being persecuted for Christ. Far too often, they are the ones persecuting others, but are able to get away with it because they hide behind their religious convictions.
-
I'm sure Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking can fit in there somewhere
-
Bush and Cheney are both big-time Karma Houdinis
-
David J. Stewart
-Bile Facsination: The only reason you'd actually visit his website.
-Cowboy Bebop At His Computer: Sums him up perfectly.
-Everyone Is Satan In Hell: He sees sin and evil in everything. Most of his quotes have him criticizing someone or something as evil or of the devil. (http://www.fstdt.com/Search.aspx?Fundie=David+J.+Stewart&Page=1).
-Insane Troll Logic: And how!
-Lolicon: Implied here. (http://www.fstdt.com/Search.aspx?Fundie=David+J.+Stewart&Page=3) He claims he hates Disney shows for the way teenage girls are dressed, blaming them for causing the sin of "lust". Put 2 and 2 together...
-No True Scottsman: Even fellow fundies like Ray Confort and Jack Chick aren't true Christians in his eyes.
-Straw Misogynist: Not only does he think women are to be submissive to men, but he discourages divorcing an abuser because he thinks it's usally her fault. (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=55977)
-
TV tropes does have a page for infamous youtuber VenomFangX (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VenomFangX)
Funny you mention that, because so does Laci Green (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LaciGreen). ;)
Yeah, she's got her videos on my site, too. What of it? =P
I'm not so sure about others, but I know one trope that fits me very well:
- Nice Hat I've even heard someone compliment it, then express a desire to fuck it. Seriously.

Bump for youtube fundies.
Jezuzfreek.

-Jerkass: He can be extremely condescening to those with different views.

Geerup

-Dumbass Has A Point: Our Government is corrupt? Who knew? (though not to the extent he claims)
-Insane Troll Logic: Engages in this all the time, particularlly to justify his conspiracy theories.

-Most Annoying Sound: His voice all sped up ala Godless Guy.
-Smug Snake: He won't admit when he (or a fellow Christian) is wrong.
-Straw Character: Godless Guy.

Terry Watkins:
Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant (seriously, read his "The Truth About Hell" page) (http://" http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SchmuckBait")
I actually credit that page for making me realize how sick and evil the idea of hell is. Of course that was after several restless nights fretting about the mere possibility that this was true. I'm an obsessive thinker and religious fundamentalism does not help those matters.
As for another complete monster, Saddam Hussein. If he's not a complete monster, I don't know who is.

Dan Savage, in light of the "bullshit in the Bible" controversy:
Jerk With A Heart Of Gold
Hero With Bad Publicity
He Who Fights Monsters
-
Ralph (http://www.fstdt.com/Search.aspx) Christian "counseler" who offers advice for those who are hurting. And by "advice", I mean condescending fundie bullshit about how they need to get right with God. Shows the darker sides of religion.
-Brutal Honesty: Claims this.
-Family Unfriendly Aesop: Says that life on earth is meaningless and the only thing that matters is avoiding a horrible afterlife.
-Jerkass: Bordering on Complete Monster.
-Kick The Dog: His constant victim blaming of those who come to him.
-Manipulative Bastard: Since the people who go to his site for advice are already suidical and vulnerable.
-Yank The Dog's Chain: Describes his theology perfectly.
-
Rick Snyder (governor of my state)
-Tyrant Takes The Helm
-Villain With Good Publicity
-Smug Snake
Kwame Kilpatrick (old mayor of detroit)

Christian Apologists In General
-You Fail Logic Forever: Most of their arguements consist of known logical fallacies.
-You Fail Science Forever: They act like science supports their bullshit.
-Did Not Do The Research: Typically with evolution.
-Smug Snake: Despite having no evidence of their theology, they still assume that they have the truth and everyone else is just blind.
-Literal Minded: Why some of them are so insufferable.
-Insufferable Genious: See literal minded (though I wouldn't call them geniouses see smug snake).
-
Cops in general.
-Blatant Lies (they are actually allowed to lie)

Knight Templar

Well-Intentioned Extremist
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking (naturally)
-
Seconding the For The Evulz trope, which ties in nastily with Knight Templar and others, including Smug Snake.
Other police tropes.
Blood Knight: The vast majority of police seem to just relish the opportunity to inflict violence...
Combat Sadomasochist: If they aren't the above, they're looking for an outlet for sadistic and masochistic urges, where they can hurt and be hurt freely.
Dirty Coward: Preferably one sided violence, wherein their badge, weapons and preparation give them a high ground where not many others can really defend themselves well.
Hypocrite: Preach "protect and defend" one second, laying a sickening no holds barred beatdown the next.
Karma Houdini: Most of them never get what is coming to them.
Kick The Dog: Spraying protesters with pepper spray and tear gas, and tackling random people to the ground and smashing them around...most often just for the thrill of violence.
No Holds Barred Beatdown
Soft Spoken Sadist: Most cops have a very soft, attemptedly reassuring voice. However, this proves to be a very creepy monotone in light of their horrifying psychotic behaviors.
-
A few more cop tropes.
-Ax Crazy: Go on youtube and look up "cops beat skaters" and you'll find numorous videos of cops resorting to violent methods.
-Disproportionate Retribution: Some of them have ruined people's lives over trivial shit.
-Lawful Evil: An embodiment of this trope.
-Obstructive Bureacrat: They always find ways to make things ten times harder with their hoops to jump throgh (example, they demand exact change for fines and tack on processing fees).
-The sociopath: They don't care if they ruin people's lives. To them all that matters is if they get their arrest.
You can tell I don't like cops.
-
Osama bin Laden
- Affably Evil
- Beard of Evil
- Big Bad
- Diabolical Mastermind

Barack Obama
- Good is Not Soft
- Hero With Bad Publicity: At least among much of the country.
-
Mitt Romney (updated):
- Affably Evil: Mitt did not seem nearly as affected by his own loss as his own party did. However, there are hints that show this may be a front.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Of Bain Capitol, a more fitting name there could not be.
- The Fundamentalist: One of Mitt's many masks. A culture warrior of the Tea Party, especially in the 2008 election season.
- Graceful Loser: While surprising, he did not show very much emotion, and even offered to work with Obama.
- No Social Skills: Binders Full of Women, really, Mitt?
- The Sociopath: Grinned at the news of dead Americans in Benghazi, very politically opportunistic, embodied corporate greed, and shows very little genuine emotion. Seems incapable of understanding people, and is almost casually cruel. Hell, he didn't even cry at his own defeat...
Donald Trump: (updated)
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Subverted. Oh, he wishes he was as efficient as Romney was in terms of evil. He's simply too ineffectual to really do much harm.
- Epic Fail: His money offering to Obama in exchange for...college transcripts?
- Fashion Victim Villain: The hair by itself could qualify him, due to how ridiculous it looks. Then there's his orange tan...
- Harmless Villain: All he really is in the long run.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Poor Donald, multiple bankruptcies, a TV Show which might just be considered gotten rid of by the network hosting it, and a tendency to open his mouth and say the stupidest possible thing, and having a drunk breakdown logged on Twitter.
- Laughably Evil: Trump is one of the most hilarious people who ever gets to talk. Just paying attention to his Twitter gives a steady stream of Crowning Moments of Funny.
- Man Behind The Man: He tried, oh, he tried to be the man behind the Republican Candidates during the Primaries.
-
Anyone miss this thread?
Ariel Castro (Cleveland man who held 3 girls (now women) captive in his house for 10 years: HIGH OCTANE NIGHTMARE FUEL WARNING)
-Complete Monster (One of the most evil people you'll ever hear of. He would stand out even in a show like Dexter or Criminal Minds)
-Torture Cellar
-Kick the Dog (Seemed to take delight in being as cruel as possible to those girls)
-Devil in Plain Sight
-Refuge in Audacity (how he pulled this off for 10 years is beyond frightening)
Charles Ramsay (the guy who is credited for rescuing the girls)
-Anti Hero
-Domestic Abuser (an Old Shame)
-Large Ham
-Jerk With a Heart of Gold
Michelle Knight (one of the captives in the house)

-Iron Woobie (still comes out strong for her ordeal).
Adam Lanza (Ct school shooter)
-Moral Event Horizon (duh)
-Complete Monster

Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk
Karma Houdini (still hasn't been disbarred despite lying his ass off about several cases)
Lawful Evil
Lawful Stupid
Moral Myopia (if a Christian does it, it's automatically not bad)
The Sociopath
Villain With Good Publicity (very popular with the Religious Right)
-
Fast Eddie (runs TvTropes, still pisses me off)
* Big Bad (runs the site, after all)
* Dirty Coward (oh, you disagree or like things I do not? Ban!)
* Hypocrite: For one example, the extremely in-depth Kodomo no Jikan page was cut because it's a loli manga. However, Dance in the Vampire Bund was not, even though it has more loli nudity, but of course, unlike Jikan, it's officially licenced in America. Not gonna screw with Seven Seas and Funimation, of course.
* Insane Troll Logic: Technically not him, but one of his mods (but again, this was openly stated, so if he cared, he would have said something). Back on my old account, when I was banned for upholding the rules and keeping pages neutral (which lead to the page purge, so, sorry, I kinda caused that), I got in an argument with another user on his Livejournal (he was one of the people trying to inject tons of bias into an article who I was fighting with). I was banned for "exporting drama". Yes, HG131 got banned from TvTropes for actions on another site. The best part is that I was a "guest", so he had to supply my IP or something, because there is no way for them to know otherwise.
* Jerkass (his problems with anime and manga seem to be rooted in racism, for one)
* Karma Houdini
* Orwellian Editor (even locked the page and deleted examples when he was added to it for deleting tons of stuff during the aforementioned purge)
* Small Name Big Ego
* Villain With Good Publicity
-
My Odd Skater-Nazi Classmate:
* Abusive Parents: I only speculate, but he has inferred it a few times. Also, possibly, his Freudian Excuse.
* Bishonen: An odd real life example; he's 26...and looks barely fourteen.
** Older Than He Looks
* Fashion Victim Villain: His Summer attire was completely laughable. And the excessive ear rings do him no favors.
* Hellbent For Leather: Wears a black leather ensemble. Switched to a sleeveless shirt and WAY too short shorts for summer.
* Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Despite his regressive views, its pretty clear his ideas are not his own. His attempts to look menacing look more pitiful than anything else.
* No Yay: For a self-professed Nazi, he seems...touchy-feelie. Ew. No. Get away, Edwin.
-
Andrew Schlafly. Yes, I'm going there.
* Affably Evil
* Amoral Attorney
* Artistic License:
* Astronomy
* Biology
* Economics
* Geology
* History
* Law: Despite having formally studied it.
* Logic
* Medicine: Frighteningly, he is currently on the General Counsel for the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, and believes that the government has no business regulating the medical establishment at all or demanding "evidence-based methodolgy" in research of new treatments.
* Psychology
* Physics
* Statistics
* Traditional Christianity
* Religion
* Belief Makes You Stupid
* Black and White Insanity
* Catchphrase: Likes calling things he doesn't agree with "liberal claptrap". Like scientific equations.
* Conspiracy Theorist: About anyone not exactly like him.

* Fan/Embarassing Nickname: Assfly.
* The Fundamentalist

Fucking Vox Day.
-The Fundamentalist: Ironic considering he prides himself as some kind of intellectual.
-He Man Woman Hater:
-Insane Troll Logic: Everything he says is this.
-Jerk Ass: The nicest thing you could say about him.
-Moral Event Horizon: This. (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=94293) He gleefully admits to delivering a No Holds Barred Beatdown to a woman.
-Politically Incorrect Villain:
-Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: He likes to use a lot of big words to sound more credible but ends up looking like a pretentious ass.
-Small Name Big Ego: If he were a tenth as smart as he thought he was he could solve a lot of world problems.
-Smug Snake: See above.
-The Sociopath: Comes across this way. He has an "ends justify the means" philosophy to life and doesn't care who's affected by it.
-Would Hit A Girl/Would Hurt A Child: See "Moral Event Horizon" above.

Typical Yahoo Answers Commentors.
-Adults Are Useless: While granted there are a lot of stupid kids who post there, the "adults" don't prove to be much better. Many of them just dismiss kids and give them the standard saturday cartoon lecture instead of you know, listening to them.
-Dude, Not Funny!: A lot of the questions and answers are obviously from trolls who shouldn't be taken seriously, but some go way to far. For instance, I remember one question asking what to do about his girlfriend's abusive father and one jackass responded "ask for tips".
-Jerk Ass: Even by GIFT standards, some of the people on that site are total assholes.
-Kick The Dog: See Jerk Ass above and No Sympathy below.
-No Sympathy: Too many examples to count. This usually happens when an alcoholic or drug addict asks for advice. There will be at least one person who has to preach on the evils of drugs or alcohol.
-Poes Law: For this reason, it's best to take anything on the site with a grain of salt.
-Smug Straight Edge: See No Sympathy above. A lot of these people act as if those who are alcoholics or drug addicts are not even human.
-Troll: No explaination needed.

I'm going to bump this for a few new people I need to mock.
Anna Diehl, an extreme hyper calvinist who was discovered a month ago. Since then, she has had several quotes posted on FSTDT. You can look her up, but I'd advise against it. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NightmareFuel)
-Abusive Parents: Not only does she advocate spanking, and not only does she say God advocates spanking, but she thinks any other way goes against God. (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=103296)
-Blue and Orange Morality: As per the course for hyper Calvinists, but she takes this up to eleven by justifying eternal torture at the hands of a sadistic God. She even says that God can be trusted despite lying. (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=103239)
-Complete Monster: One of the worst people quoted on the site (and that's saying a lot). It's what happens when you worship a God who creates people just to send them to hell, and can't get enough of their suffering (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=103129). She also credits God for crap that happens on earth (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=103237), including 9/11 (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=103244), and says God will harm our loved ones if we don't revere him (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=102985). If she truly believes what she says, than she is revering an Eldritch Abomination, but if she doesn't, she's knowingly feeding people an utterly toxic and harmful theology.
-God Is Evil: And so is she (see 'complete monster' above).
-Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: Of the Cosmic Horror Story variety.
-Sadist: Does this (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=103129) sound like something a normal person would say?
-The Sociopath: She's a Calvinist, so this shouldn't be surprising, but I think even other Calvinists would be scared off by her theology.
Matt Walsh, a douchebag conservative Christian blogger who makes a living posting utter bullshit. Not as evil as Anna Diehl, but he's a major league asshole none the less.
-Critical Research Failure: Happens a lot. Most notably his assuming depression was a spiritual problem while ignoring the chemical imbalance that causes it.
-Friend to all Children: Does seem to have a soft spot for children so I'll give him that. He's an ass to everyone else though.
-Holier Than Thou: All of his blog posts have a sanctimonious tone. This really comes through in a recent post on Joel Osteen. (http://themattwalshblog.com/2014/09/04/joel-osteen-wife-heretics-thats-america-loves/2/)
-Honor Before Reason: He's very critical of people who divorce, and thinks it's morally wrong even when the couple is clearly unhappy.
-Jerkass: Just a big asshole who uses 'family values' and religion to justify his assholery.
-Kick The Dog: Tells a Walmart employee (who's making so little that needs government assistance to support himself), that he's already making more than he deserves. (http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=102697)
-Know Nothing Know It All: He seems to think that he's entitled to tell others what to do before even trying to understand their plight. For example, he berates the Ferguson protesters for hating cops even though they have every reason to hate the cops in that city. He also assumes an angry poster is a bad employee based on a few things he said in his letter to him.
-Logical Fallacies: His blog posts run on it. Particularly appeal to emotion, even though he berates our culture for caring too much about feelings.
-No Sympathy: To that Walmart Employee (see Kick The Dog). He also doesn't understand depression.
-Smug Snake: He thinks he's a "professional sayer of truths". It's most likely why his blog posts are so preachy and condescending.
