To the catalogue of anxieties her patients explore during therapy — marriage, children, and careers — psychologist Alison Howard is now listening to a new source of stress: the political rise of Donald Trump.
In recent days, at least two patients have invoked the Republican front-runner, including one who talked at length about being disturbed that Trump can be so divisive and popular at the same time, said Howard, who practices in the District.
What had happened to Trump during his childhood, the patient wanted to know, to make him such a “bad person?”
“He has stirred people up,” Howard said. “We’ve been told our whole lives not to say bad things about people, to not be bullies, to not ostracize people based on their skin color. We have these social mores and he breaks all of them and he’s successful. And people are wondering how he gets away with it.”

This story is beyond hilarious...It shows just how perverted our education system and millennium, metrosexual culture has become...
Pajama Boy and his/her minions...
“...I need to see a psycho(logist) to sort out my *sniff* feelings!!!!”
Gee Alison, thanks for the CLIENT-PATIENT confidentially.
Well, we know he has a pretty short fuse ...
Liberals were no doubt distressed at the rise of Ronald Reagan 36 years ago, but while their ideology was as toxic then as now, the liberals of that time had not internalized the poisonous thoughts that leftism represents like today’s crop of whiners. There have always been unstable individuals, but the mental illness we see in Trump Derangement Syndrome is to be expected in a country in which the social, business, and cultural elites have abandoned discipline and traditional values for hedonism and situational ethics. Mitt Romney, Glenn Beck, Miley Cyrus, Richard Gere, and numerous other people of questionable ethical and moral character and less than stellar intellect engage in ridiculous hyperbole in their denunciations of Trump.
The “journalist” who reported this story no doubt had the brilliant idea (preconceived notion) for this “story,” then went to the massage parlor and had a trivial conversation with the masseuse while on the table.
Thus, a few inconsequential remarks become indicative of a sociological trend. It’s how “journalism” is done these days.
to not ostracize people based on their skin color.
Funny I have been watching and following Trump for months and he has never mentioned anything about Skin Color.
Trump does want to ostracize some people here that are a danger to the Republic...IS there a certain Skin Color for Islamic Terrorists that I am missing?
(stupid liberal idiots must believe so)
I believe your version more than I do this “journalist”....these dirtbags are paid by political ideologue masters to squeeze out excrement that is supposed to suffice for journalism.
Donald is a dynamite enema
OUch! lol they deserve worse.
What are their FR nicks?
ANXIETY. . . They have no idea how much anxiety we have felt for 8 years. Eight years because we could see through Obama all during his pre-election posturing. Eight years of my retirement worrying and stressing about what the Liberal Democrats were going to do next to destroy our country.
I feel like skunks have moved into my house and I need a experienced exterminator to get them to #ell out without leaving too much stench behind.
This is a good thing. The cure is to move to France.
"He has stirred people up," Howard said. "We’ve been told our whole lives not to say bad things about people, to not be bullies, to not ostracize people based on their skin color. [....]"
Did you notice the semi-veiled assertion that Trump is racist in that spiel?
Though I don't know if your question is general or directed at Gamecock, I definitely noticed the assertion on my first reading. (I still agree with you that the assertion is "semi-veiled." I wonder if this veiling is more of a intentional sneaky wording or more of an unconscious reflection of the speaker's beliefs.)
This realization should be combined with something from post #10:
Not say bad things about people, UNLESS they are straight, white conservatives. Then it's open season, both in public and in movies, TV shows, etc.
(I wonder if non-white conservatives exist in these movies and TV shows; the most crucial part there is "conservatives," as you will find when hearing those love-filled liberals talk about Clarence Thomas.)
In similar fashion, I remembered too on my first reading something that struck me even when I was young and had imbibed much of the so-called liberalism that surrounded me. The same people who talk about "tolerance" and "peace" and "civility" will eagerly say "bad things about people" and bully people as much as they like--when they target just the right people.
(Though other things were more fundamental in my political turning, this realization was helpful. If "liberals" were actually pleasant people, I may have delayed my critical exploration until after I'd reached voting age.)
It was a general question. I am unaware of Trump uttering any racist diatribes, although I know he has been accused of it. The muslim immigration issue (which has been thoroughly lied about in “news” coverage) is less than a nothing-burger. It, literally, is stopping the government machine (at least temporarily) until its works are understood and corrected to proper function.
Trump successfully uses many liberal tactics against his opponents, both liberal and otherwise. He personifies, in some ways, the most effective of Alinky’s rules - especially the use of ridicule.
These are explicitly the tactics used by liberals every danged day.
The GOP electorate has been clamoring for someone to use these same tactics against the libs, but the GOP party bosses are too afraid to face down whatever criticism it might generate. The voters are mad as hell, and surely seem prepared to not take the GOPe bullstuff any more.
Trump Anxiety = Butt hurt
There sure are a lot of riders on the Multi-Trillion Dollar Gravy Train.
Of course, they are anxious. May they all die screaming, on fire, and looking their worst.
The snowflakes are sure catching hell in the Comments section. They don’t want the country run by Republicans, we don’t want the country run by neurotics.
Elites have betrayed the country to feather their own nests... They won't be forgiven just because they know how to put on airs... this is more serious than affecting the right 'attitude'...
“Smug” is not a cogent argument for why the country's been bankrupted, infrastructure's crumbling, borders are nonexistent and crime is skyrocketing... Hillary's queen of the elites and possibly a criminal... are the rest of the 'elites' criminals too? Do they all sell our country out to the highest bidder?
Are all our 'elites' taking bribes? Giving 'speeches' for hundreds of thousands of dollars to groups that don't care if they stand at the podium and say, "Quack, quack, quack" for 43 minutes?
