A deeply serious problem for Americans
When I was a kid, America fretted about “the heartbreak of psoriasis,” an advertising catch-phrase that raised awareness to an almost hysterical degree about a skin condition that legitimately afflicts millions of people. Today, a legitimate psychological condition is bringing heartbreak to untold millions, perhaps even tens of millions, of Americans who need relief: Trump Derangement Syndrome, or TDS.
In the wake of the Right-wing rout of blue states in last week’s election, Democrat talking heads have devolved into angry finger-pointing and circular firing squads as they wrestle with understanding how it is possible that America could have rejected their agenda so resoundingly. Some Democrats have even begun to wonder if perhaps a little self-examination is in order, but it seems that far more progressives cannot quit externalizing the blame and directing their fury at anyone in a MAGA hat – even among their own friends and family members.
Unhinged examples of disappointed Kamala Harris supporters abound on the internet, especially at the Libs of TikTok account on X (formerly Twitter), which shares the emotional breakdowns of progressives who feel compelled, inexplicably, to exhibit their mental instability on social media for the wonder and entertainment of all.
Is it virtue-signaling? A catharsis of some kind? An existential cry into the void? Who knows, but these performances include such eyebrow-raising examples as the woman who shared a message for her family to “fuck off and choke on your turkey” at the holiday dinner she now won’t be attending. Another Kamala fan suggests to her fellow women that they should immediately divorce their Trump-supporting husbands, if not poison them.
These are actually pretty mild examples. There are of course many, many instances in which Democrat women and beta males literally cry and scream their election frustration into the camera, and those videos are rather amusing in a schadenfreude kind of way. But there are some that reveal a disturbing and distinctly not amusing degree of bitterness and hate.
An X user named Derek, for example, tweeted, “I have cut ties with my MAGA father and sister. I will never, ever speak to them again. I’ll spit on their graves. If you still hang out with your ‘friends’ or family that voted for fascism, you need a long look in the mirror.” --->READ MORE HEREUniversities Give Students Milk and Cookies, Cancel Classes Over Trump Victory:
Leftists the world over are in tears and hysterics over Donald Trump’s historic victory on Tuesday, but nowhere are they more desolate and depressed these days than on America’s college and university campuses. Students are at an age when passions run high, and as our institutions of higher learning are now little more than indoctrination centers for Antifa, it’s understandable that the mood on campus these days is more than a little dark.
College and university administrators and professors, however, are only making matters worse by pandering to the students’ ridiculous grief, and even encouraging it, rather than reminding them that life is tough and they just have to get on with it. This is largely, of course, because those far-left administrators and professors are just as immature as their students.
The Washington Free Beacon reported Friday that “after Donald Trump’s historic reelection sent despair rippling across college campuses, grieving professors at America’s top universities canceled classes, rescheduled exams, and promised to forgive poor grades. Schools offered students milk, cookies, puzzles, Legos, and ‘destress sessions.’”
Milk and cookies? Puzzles? Legos? Are we talking about universities here, or about kindergarten? Given the academic level of these woke institutions today, it’s essentially the same thing, and even the most elite universities are engaging in this silly grandstanding.
One Columbia University professor wrote to her students: “I hope you are hanging in there. I have been think [sic] of you over the last few days. [If] you don’t feel up for class, absences today will be excused.” A Barnard prof wrote in a similar vein: “In recognition of the increased stressed [sic] some of you might be feeling because of the election results, I will offer to replace your midterm Exam 2 grade with your Final Exam grade if better.”
Another professor canceled class because “it feels a bit tone-deaf to deliver” a “lecture on modern polling methods and their blind spots” at this time of yet another reminder of polling’s blind spots. She added a compassionate note: “Be good to yourselves, check in on your friends.” --->READ MORE HERE
