A serious illness that keeps the Dems in the voters’ doghouse.
Trump Derangement Syndrome has riled and roiled our politics for a decade, and its only achievement has been sending Donald Trump back to the White House for a second term, and for now marginalizing the Democrats, whose approval ratings are stuck in the mid-twenties. Worse for the Dems, their loss in November was what Barack Obama called a “shellacking,” only more so.
They lost the popular vote and both houses of Congress, as well as significant numbers of the Democrats’ usually reliable constituencies. Voters also repudiated the Dems’ dangerous “woke” policies that failured to protect the border from invasion; fight crime and prosecute criminals; conduct a foreign policy that put America’s national security and interests first; stop culture-war enormities like biological males colonizing women’s sports and locker rooms; reform their tax-spend-borrow-redistribute economic policies; cease and desist from trans propaganda invading our primary schools, and to arrest, charge, try, and punished privileged protestors in Ivy League schools chanting their support for genocide, assaulting Jews, and other antisemitic offenses.
All those patently preposterous policies are inimical, if not fatal, to our Constitutional, Judeo-Christian, and Greco-Roman traditions, as well as abandoning both reason and common sense––and don’t forget the ridiculous lies they told about both Trump’s “fascism,” and Joe Biden’s cognitive decay.
Given this electoral disaster that followed Trump Derangement Syndrome, you’d think that the Dems and Petainist Rhinos would give up and instead focus on the issues angering and worrying voters, as Trump did. But OC TDS sufferers just can’t help themselves. Their social status, inflated amour propre, and lucrative political establishment are too precious. The Rhinos in particular can never forgive Trump for crashing their political guild party and perks.
A particularly incoherent example appeared last week in the Wall Street Journal. Novelist Mark Helprin’s topic is an important one: the long history of bipartisan assaults on our Constitutional order and its foundational principles. And much of Helprin’s comments comprise bipartisan censures, except when he feels compelled to single out Trump and indulge hoary TDS clichés culled from ten years of anti-Trump invective, and festooned with a specious moral equivalence of the two parties.
It doesn’t take long for TDS, and its faithful companion blatant begged questions, to take over Helprin’s argument: “On Jan. 6, 2021, a mob incited by President Donald Trump smashed its way into the U.S. Capitol and threatened to hang Vice President Mike Pence should he not halt certification of an election no credible evidence has ever suggested the president didn’t lose.”
Start with “incited.” It’s a strange coup whose instigator offered the D.C. mayor the help of National Guard to control it, and who advised his “mob” to march to the Capitol “peacefully and patriotically.” Or that the demonstrations at the Capitol began well before Trump stopped speaking. Or that capitol police escorted many protestors into the building, and FBI false-flag assets were part of the mob. Or that the only fatalities from the violence were demonstrators, including an unarmed female Veteran whom a panicked or incompetent DC cop shot dead. Helprin’s lurid phrases “smashing their way in” and “threatened to hang Mike Pence” are loading the rhetorical dice. Does he really believe that given the armed police presence, anyone actually could have hanged the Vice President? As for the begged question “no credible evidence,” you can’t find what you don’t look for. --->READ MORE HERE

The return of Donald Trump to the White House seems to be triggering yet another existential crisis for Democrats, adding to their ever-growing list of existential crises. You'd think they have enough to worry about with climate change, bird flu and Russia hanging over their heads without another winter surge of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).
The worst part? There is no vaccine, but don't worry: Fauci is working hard on a cure!
In the meantime, their solution isn't to organize, strategize or even debate policy, but to book a therapy session, with Axios reporting that therapists are seeing an "uptick" in Democrat voters who are struggling to handle Trump's policies, with some feeling "burnout, guilt and despair at losing an old way of life."
Now, I will never downplay the importance of real therapy. There's a pattern — often found on the right — that is stuck in the 1950s when it comes to mental health, pushing the absurd belief that the cure to depression is snapping out of it, that there is no difference between crippling anxiety and feeling nervous, or that diagnoses like ADHD are inventions of the medical industry so they can sell pills.
However, two things can be true at once: Mental health issues are real, and some perceived mental health issues are not.
And Trump Derangement Syndrome is not a real mental disorder that requires therapy, so forgive me if I don't feel all that sympathetic.
First off, apparently even the prospect of Trump doing what he was elected to do — scaling back government overreach, securing the border and dismantling DEI bureaucracy — has left many leftists in emotional disarray. And this is the same group that spent years mocking conservatives for complaining about the Biden administration's disastrous policies!
We were called "snowflakes" when we pointed out the skyrocketing inflation, open border chaos and global instability under Biden ... but at least we didn't book an appointment to see our shrink. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to a relevant story:
