"Keep company with positive, optimistic people."

He's telling them to hang with Trumpsters. MAGA!!

Which number that he listed says “kill yourself”?

I only made it through the first few sentences.

Rush has it right. The Democrats, Leftists, Progressives and the other Mentally Ill Scum have no respect for the Electoral Process if they lose.

Cognitive Dissonance! Obviously, Trump supporters do not think resistance is called for. They are people just as much as those that Deepak Chopra agrees with.

I think lefties are in far worse mental shape than that. Most of them don't even recognize our existence, except as some faraway hostile tribe, that few 'real' people have ever encountered.

It's evident in the way liberals like Chopra speak. They say things like, "The majority of Americans are repulsed by Donald Trump." What they really mean is that, those inside the bubble world they inhabit, are repulsed by Trump.

I really don't think there's much cognitive activity going on in the minds of most liberals. A diagnosis of cognitive dissonance would at least mean that there's some kind of mental function, and therefore, some smidgen of hope for the afflicted.

If you have a Deepak Chopra lasting more than 4 hours call your doctor.

I don't think the correct term for this panoply of symptoms is "stress" - "neurosis" maybe. After all, if the remedy for voices in your head is more voices in your head, perhaps there's something else going on here.

He's done it. I swear, Trump has managed to drive these self-absorbed Great Thinkers into total batshit Nazi UFO chemtrail territory here and it isn't getting any better. I had lunch with a good friend who is a hopeless liberal who couldn't summon an opinion on politics without checking in with The Daily Show first, who was definitely looking more than a little frayed, muttering furiously that Comey's firing was a direct result of his zeroing in on Russian influence and I finally had to interrupt him and ask him pityingly "You don't actually believe in all that stuff, do you?" in the tone of voice you might use with regard to the Tooth Fairy. He does. Had to change the topic because he was starting to grind his teeth and his eyes were going red.

It may be more than neurosis, in fact. I note the capitalization of "the Resistance" as if it were actually something more than a playpen shared fantasy world on the order of Star Wars or Harry Potter. The Resistance, every liberal a hero in his or her own mind. We have megalomania here, delusions of grandeur, delusions of persecution, in short, what used to be described as paranoid schizophrenia. At the very least this stuff simply isn't mentally healthy.

Here are the facts: they had a crap candidate and lost an election, and as a result certain of their cherished programs are going to be rolled back. That's it. No trumpets sounding, no cavalry charging, no Maquis blowing up Nazi railway bridges. It's a perfectly natural blowback to excesses they refuse to recognize. We can't help them there, they have to admit there's a problem first.

Chopra is a real lightweight. I have seen him once with a group of very fine pastors and they made him look like a total idiot.

It wasn’t hard to do.

Wow! The Marxist leftists have gone through 3 months of a far smaller dose of what I went through for 8 years under the Obama regime. What a drippy pack of beotches they are.

To call it “The Resistance” and liken it to the French Resistance who bravely fought Hitler and the Nazis during their occupation is off the hook as the kids would say. I hope there aren’t many Resistance fighters still alive who might stumble upon that comparison. It’d be like comparing my late father’s actions in the Battle of Okinawa to Bowe Bergdahl.

I actually understand what's going on here; they're going through the same challenge that I experienced during the prior administration. Difference is that as a coping mechanism, I flatly refused to endure the sight of Barack Obama or listen to his voice and would turn off any device within reach that carried them. These sad people, on the other hand, are incapable of doing this because it's precisely their allies, the media, that carry the interminable drumbeat. They are literally addicted to the very stimuli that are slowly making them mad.
From the article:

When the voice in your head starts saying things, pause for a moment and say to the voice, "I don’t need this. It doesn’t serve me." Repeat until the mental voice stops.

The media are driving them insane; voices in your head is a symptom of schizophrenia

Imbecises all, as the fires of hell rise up to meet them. Deepak is one of a large cult of demonic teachers.

I’ve always said that a food addiction is the hardest to kick, unlike drugs, alcohol or whatever, because you can’t get away from food.
