How is the remaining holding up after a really incredible first week of the next Trump administration? Not so well, I’m scared. It looks as if the forest bathing and another soul-soothing activities didn’t work, and so after a week of ambitious making-America-great-again activity, leftists are sadder and angrier than ever, and looking for ways to keep their fragile mental equilibrium.  ,

We’re talking about people who think that men may turn into women, Hamas jihadis are “resistance combatants,” and Kamala Harris was a strong and qualified prospect, so their emotional wellbeing wasn’t that bad at first. However, Trump being thus fervent in his pursuit of the great and the right has just about spooked them.  ,
Salon.com correctly offered on Monday an essay with the mournful subject of” Surviving’ social grief’: You’re not alone, and there is a way forward”. If you’re a thoroughly taught Marxist who is so concerned about” weather change” and” trans right,” it doesn’t coloring a pretty picture because” Donald Trump is now the 47th president of the United States.” The months between Election Day and his commencement may be remembered as the good days in comparison to the horrible things that will happen in America over ( at least ) the next four decades.  ,
What terrible things? Also, if everything goes according to plan, inflation did sluggish, gas prices and taxes will go down, wages will rise, the border may be secured, and many illegal and legal migrants will be deported. What’s not to like? Plenty, if you’re an America-hating leftist, and hordes of the nose-ringed, blue-haired, black-clad masses have a tremendous case of the sads.  ,

Salon’s Chauncey DeVega lamented:” The shadow of Jan. 20, and the cruel coincidence that it fell this year on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s remembrance day, hung over us all. Trump is a staunch opponent of democracy and human rights, as he was one of King’s greatest champions in the history of the United States. This only becomes apparent when you consider that “democracy and human rights” means the left winning every election and limiting the speech of those it fears and despises. Trump is for a free society with a robust opposition and no restrictions on speech, and so for leftists, “democracy” is under threat.
DeVega continues,” Millions of Americans who voted for Kamala Harris and who believe in American democracy and the common good are collectively stuck in the various stages of grief.” They expect us to march in lockstep, like all totalitarians, and they’re even sadder because some Americans aren’t sad at all.” Tens of millions of other Americans are jubilant at Trump’s return to the White House and his vows of revenge against” the enemy within” as part of making America great again. Chauncey is speaking as he promises to take action against those on your side who actually acted against our free republic by attempting to criminalize legitimate opposition. If you’re weeping for the likes of Adam Schiff and Merrick Garland, you’re no friend of freedom.  ,

DeVega, however, promises that no matter how difficult it is, the work to defy Trump’s and America’s policies will continue:” It is grinding and emotionally draining work that frequently feels futile and can lead to PTSD, substance abuse, and mental health issues.” Awww, poor thing. Apparently a typical leftist narcissist, DeVega claims that everyone shares his bad mood:” Considered in the aggregate, America’s public mood is negative, anxious and discontented”. The evil Orange Man Bad, who claims to have robbed life of its very meaning, also points out that” this crisis of democracy is also a crisis of the collective “life force,” which includes the desire to lead a meaningful life. Without a trace of irony, DeVega discusses “widespread fear among ordinary people who are trying to survive financial precarity and avoid total household collapse and homelessness,” without appearing to understand why Trump won.  ,

And so leftists, driven round the bend by Trump, are consulting the priests of their secular religion, only to find them just as depressed:” Many reports suggest an increase in people seeking therapy and counseling. In the wake of the presidential election and the rising demand for their services, mental health professionals are also seeking assistance for their own heightened anxiety and emotional issues. Callers have increased on crusis lines, too.

Growing up might be a good solution, but these poor people can’t do that without rejecting all the lies they’ve told themselves. Many leftists genuinely believe that Adolf Hitler is now in the Oval Office because they have demonized Trump so relentlessly over the past eight years. It’s ridiculous, it’s insane — it’s the left.
