Virginia Tech will be offering counseling to its students who are “waking up with fear, anxiety, concern, questions, and confusion” over the election of Donald Trump.

In an email to “students, colleagues, [and] friends,” VT’s director of intercultural engagement center, Tricia Smith, writes that she wants all members of the school community “to hear clearly that you are loved.”

I have also read where some High Schools are offering counselors to help "deal with" Trump winning.

Nonsense; the “counseling” is to help the teachers’ union members re-group for their next attack on us taxpayers.

“Counseling” usually makes things worse. But it’s their own funeral.

For a lot of these kids, it’s the first time they’ve experienced disappointment in the real world. No participation trophy, safe space, or self-esteem building pats on the back from their helicopter parents. In short: Welcome the real world, the one that doesn’t give a Tinker’s Damn about your feelings.

I can just imagine what this "counseling" is. Liberal indoctrination full of fictions like "white privilege" and "microaggressions" and the inherent evils of capitalism and Republicans.

I attended school during the Korean War, the Cold War, and the Cuban missile crisis, and there was no “counseling”.

We’ve really got a generation of wusses on our hands, thanks to the brainwashing from government schools.

It is not hokey. These are the kids that have never lost anything. Soccer played with no scorekeeping, and everyone gets a participation trophy and walks off the field holding hands after a group hug.

They have never experienced defeat, or even just not getting what they want right now, in their entire lives.

Tell the kiddie students that the American voters refused to elect a pathological lying traitorous criminal as president of the United States!

Here’s your counseling. We have a constitution that calls for (s)elections every four years. Somebody wins, somebody loses. End of counseling session.

Smells like collusion to me.

Across the board the message is the same: Be afraid now and in the future.

My post from another thread:

Sure looks like a lot of these libs, like the author of this article, are psychic.

Notice how many of them are predicting that liberals, already programmed to be so weak as to need “safe spaces”, will be afraid and hurt by Trump in the future.

They’ve gone into a warp drive of ordering their brainwashed, petrified-with-fear useful idiots to be afraid now and in the future and their mindless followers are obeying.

We’re watching a real-life zombie attack.

AAWW you poor little babies....you didn’t get your own way, so now your doing whatever to whomever to prove what?

If you think this is going to be happening just because you don’t like it, think again little babies...life is about to show you how to put on your big girl and big boy panties and grow the hell up!!!

There are going to be jobs out there, no longer are the over paid colleges and schools going to ‘wrap their arms around you and protect you’...coming to a town near you:

“Get off your lazy butt, and go get a job” and NO the GOVERNMENT coming is NOT going to feed you!!!

They don’t need counselling, they need a good Civics class.

And a swift kick in the ass.

They better get Jonah Goldberg some butt-hurt therapy, also.

Goldberg continues to claim that Trump didn’t win...Hitlery lost.
