Does Trump make liberals ill?

Did you know that politics makes liberals ill? Yes, that’s right, it does. But before we describe and diagnose the situation, let’s look briefly at a few things that make Leftists angry, to better understand how they….emote. (Most don’t think.)
To make the Left angry all we need to do is exist, guilt-free. This enrages them, which is a fine sight to see. But what makes their heads truly explode…Republicans in power.
Mind you I didn’t say ‘conservatives in power,’ I said ‘Republicans.’ Republicans are often not conservatives, or anything close. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnel, both Republicans of long-standing, are what Kurt Schlichter has called ‘Fredocons’ men who stupidly want to respect of people they think important.
Whenever Republicans hold positions of power, even if they aren’t really conservatives, they still make the Left shake with rage. We all remember the Bush years. 8 years of Bob Woodward writing (another) presidential debunking. 8 years of books descrying traces of Christian theocracy amongst Christian Bush-voters. 8 years of Bush Derangment Syndrome. We all thought it was nuts. But what’s happening now is even more nuts.
But now we’re onto Trump Derangement Syndrome. Here are a few examples of what Trump’s driving liberals to.
Jimmy Kimmel has been driven to calling a Fox anchor a ‘little creep’ for daring to criticize Kimmel. The New York Post found it necessary to discuss how Trump called Kim Jong-Un ‘Rocket Man’ and ignore the other aspects of the speech. Maxine Waters continues to beat the drum for Trump’s impeachment, ignoring that there is no such thing as an impeachable offense.
Even the neo-conservative leader Bill Kristol has gone mad, continues to lead the Never Trumpers and calling for a military coup against Trump.
But here are some of the finest examples.
Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank, has complained that Trump’s presidency is literally killing him. In a recent article Milbank has said that he’s suffering from, “fatigue, poor sleep, even some occasional chest pain.” He’s said he was health before Trump but now, “eight months into Trump’s presidency, I was suddenly ailing.”
Milbank has company in the Trump Ward at the hospital, in the person of WSJ columnist Peggy Noonan. Noonan recently described a drug-induced dream she had, in which Trump and Hilary were more humble and gracious. MSNB host Katey Tur has written in a new book that Trump’s election made her want to barf. When she heard Trump was planning victory rallies after his electoral win, “The panic mounts. More rallies? I am falling over. More taunting crowds, more round-the-clock live shots. More airports, more earsplitting Pavarotti…I can’t. I just can’t.”
So why are these liberals suffering so greatly? Well, because for many of them, politics is both religion and therapy. They let their need for faith in something drive them into the arms of Progressivism. But this is unfair to Progressivism. Much as I dislike Charles Beard, TR and Woodrow Wilson, I readily admit them to be men of talent and, in the case of TR, absolute fearlessness. Today’s liberals are ninnies, whinginng wimps compared with their forebearers.
If politics makes you physically ill, then you need to get a life, and perhaps a God. Learn to look at things from outside the guilt-informed worldview of a 1st World, rich person, who is comfortable enough to make a living either writing or entertaining, instead of digging ditches or pouring concrete.
The man in the White House shouldn’t matter that much. Everyone, Left and Right, takes the President to be a far more important man than he really should be. It should matter little whether the President has an R, D or a T after his name, because the Republic can poke along without a Beneficent Leader to oversee all things.
If a Presidential victory rally makes you panicky, drink a big bottle of Tequila, take a nap and for the love of God remember we don’t live in a world that revolves around you. If you want to see a President impeached, by all means try to see it done. But stop acting as if there are impeachable offenses, when constitutional experts say there aren’t.
Politics is not the end of life. Things not going your way is part of life. Everyone, Grow Up!
