| Trump Anxiety Syndrome Is Now A Thing |

| I continue to marvel at the complete infantile nature of a fair part of the citizenry, when I'm not laughing at it.... [The Hill] - Therapists in the U.S. say they have seen a rise in politically-related anxiety under the Trump presidency. Though a condition has not been officially named, therapists and patients have referred to it as "Trump Anxiety Disorder," according to a report from Canada’s CBC News. Elisabeth LaMotte, the founder of the D.C. Counseling and Psychotherapy Center in Washington, D.C., told CBC that there is a "collective anxiety" among her patients related to President Trump’s rhetoric and policies. "There is a fear of the world ending," she said. "It's very disorienting and constantly unsettling." She said that Trump critics whom she treats exhibit similar behavior to patients who have a parent with a personality disorder. "Whether it's conscious or not, I think we look to the president of the United States as a psychological parent," LaMotte said. |

| #5 Perhaps if they tried to learn about both sides of the issue instead of discounting one side entirely they might understand the world a lot better.interesting point, I have tried to get some of the more "smarter" libs to read some VDH and other pretty well written and understandable arguments and they get about 1/4 of the way through and then complain they can't understand it, I seriously don't think any of them get any info for themselves and rely wholly on talking heads to tell them what to think, amazing considering that before the election their brains seemed to be working pretty well, afterwards, not so much |

| #4 Personally, I very much LIKE Trump. I voted for him and I knew what he would do to the Obama 'Legacy" on day one. And all you snowflakes and pu**y-hats can just learn to EMBRACE the SU*K.. |

| #2 You know, if you never concentrate power in one office so much, maybe you would have less concern or stress. |

| #1 Once upon a time, in some areas, only those vested in the country voted. Theoretically these were supposed to be men who were property owners, or served the nation in roles like military, fire and police. In that world one would not expect to find "Trump Anxiety Disorder" victims anywhere near a polling place as even owning property seems unlikely for them... Just saying... |
