The Great Liberal Meltdown
Well, folks, it seems the “tolerant left” isn’t so tolerant after all – at least not when it comes to their own mental health. In a hilarious twist of irony, the same people who’ve been calling conservatives “snowflakes” for years are now experiencing their own spectacular meltdown. The cause? None other than the presidency of Donald J. Trump.
According to reports, Democrats are suffering from a laundry list of mental health issues, including anxiety, uncertainty, despair, guilt, depression, insomnia, grief, fear, and panic. It’s almost as if they’re allergic to making America great again! But don’t worry, folks – the liberal elite have a solution: therapy sessions and safe spaces for all!
The Chaos of Progress
Andrea Bonior, a psychology professor at Georgetown University, tries to explain this phenomenon with a straight face: “There is an element of chaos right now. A sense of not knowing what’s coming and not being able to control what’s coming is really hard on the stress response.” Well, professor, maybe that’s because real change doesn’t come from sitting in a circle and singing Kumbaya.
“There is an element of chaos right now,” Georgetown University psychology professor Andrea Bonior told Axios. “A sense of not knowing what’s coming and not being able to control what’s coming is really hard on the stress response.”
President Trump enacted over 75 executive orders, memos, and proclamations within three weeks of his presidency. That’s what we call getting things done, folks! But apparently, this rapid pace of positive change is just too much for the delicate Democratic psyche to handle. It’s almost as if they prefer the slow, grinding halt of bureaucracy and government inefficiency.
Therapeutic Intervention: A New Low for Democrats
In a move that has conservatives chuckling and shaking their heads, Democratic lawmakers have sought psychological assistance to manage the swift changes brought about by the Trump administration. That’s right, folks – instead of rolling up their sleeves and getting to work for the American people, they’re lying on couches and talking about their feelings. Meanwhile, Republicans are rightfully ridiculing this action, because let’s face it, when did governing become a trigger for therapy?
“As humans, we don’t love uncertainty,” said Bonior, who sees patients in Washington, DC. “It’s something that we don’t tend to tolerate well. And then when we’re anxious, it’s excruciating.”
Dr. Glenn Burnett, another expert weighing in on this liberal crisis, associates health issues such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, and chest pain with fears concerning Trump’s policies and the nation’s trajectory. Here’s a thought, Dr. Burnett: maybe if these folks focused on the booming economy, increased job opportunities, and stronger national security instead of their irrational fears, they’d sleep a little better at night.
The Ultimate Cure: Turn Off CNN
In what might be the most sensible advice to come out of this whole debacle, Dr. Burnett recommends that patients disconnect from media to enhance their mental health. Well, would you look at that? A doctor prescribing less fake news! It’s almost as if constant exposure to biased, negative reporting might be bad for your mental wellbeing. Who would have thought?
“I think we can take so much of something before the human brain just like peters out and says, ‘I can’t keep up,'” neuropsychologist Sanam Hafeez from New York told Axios.
Journalist Mark Halperin, in a moment of rare clarity for the mainstream media, foresaw a potential mental health crisis if Trump won the election. Well, Mark, you were right about something for once. But here’s the kicker: it’s not because Trump is doing a bad job. It’s because he’s doing exactly what he promised, and that’s terrifying to those who oppose American greatness.
In conclusion, folks, let’s remember that while our Democratic friends are busy scheduling their next therapy sessions, we’ll be here, continuing to support policies that make America strong, prosperous, and free. And who knows? Maybe all this liberal anxiety will finally push them to move to Canada like they promised. One can only hope!
