Hopefully, all 4 of Joy Reid's viewers will take this advice.

The aftermath of President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive election victory last week has offered a window into the mental health struggles of Americans many of whom have been showcasing their personal meltdowns publicly via social media for the past few days.
Now a Yale psychiatrist Dr. Amanda Calhoun is advising MSNBC viewers to break off ties with family members who refused to vote for Kamala Harris and to tell them why they are being shunned.
Calhoun was a guest on MSNBC host Joy Reid’s program in response to a report that calls to crisis centers from LGBT youth had spiked by 700 percent following Trump’s win in the presidential race.
The Yale psychiatrist, whose school profile affirms that she “also specializes in the effects of medical anti-Black racism”, told Reid and her viewers that those aggrieved by last week’s election results should avoid their Trump-supporting relatives and tell them:
“You know, to say, ‘I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not going to be around you this holiday. I need to take some space for me.’”
Calhoun called it “essential” for people to establish boundaries for their own mental health.
The doctor has not explained how urging individuals to destroy their familial support networks over political differences equals sound medical or psychiatric advice rather than simply encouraging dogmatic behavior by equating one’s ideas with one’s livelihood.
Convincing those with mental health concerns that any form of disagreement is an attack upon their very existence, appears to have more to do with combining neo-Marxism and medicine than it does with healing the sick.
I bet the sane people will be relieved that they won’t have to deal with crazy relatives.
I already took this advice in 2020 with my retarded commie lib relatives
Amanda is a destroyer not a doctor. She’s also mentally ill.
there is shallow and then there is SHALLOW. ever notice the shallowest of the shallow are liberals?
“You know, to say, ‘I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not going to be around you this holiday. I need to take some space for me.’
You mean your hectoring sister in law and her pajama boy husband won’t be coming over for Thanksgiving? Gee, that’s too bad.

You knew it would be a woman.
They tried to say that Republicans created a cult around Trump. I’d admit to seeing a slight tendency towards cultishness among a few of Trump’s followers... but the cultishness of the Democrats is astounding. They’ve been promoting blocking and unfriending Republican friends, colleagues and family members for many years.
I did too. I saw them for the narcissists they were and eliminated them from my life. No interest in being anywhere near their unearned self-appointed superiority.
Groupthinkers are rotten to the core. There is no debate so there is no reason.
Happy am I.
If you have decided to live in the Woke fantasy you might as well break your last ties to reality.
Like the Macy’s guy in Miracle on 34th Street, the “professional” is in fact the nut case.
Harris voters can ESFOAD.
I agree with him 💯 percent.
There are a fair percentage of psychiatrists who go into the profession because they're nutters and whackjobs.
Mandy here is both a nutter and a whackjob.
She needs those nice young men in their clean white coats.
Why stop there? Don’t buy from businesses which support Trump! Don’t drive a Telsa! Remove your Telsa roof! In other words, enjoy your life in a dark home, all alone with nothing to eat.
Most psychiatrists I’ve known are bat-shit crazy. Dr. Calhoun is further proof of that statement.
Yale should lose its license for a medical school.
It teaches its “doctors” to diagnose and publish about
people they have never met.
It teaches its “doctors” to take the genitals off
children and poison them before they can even vote.
Yale should lose its license.
Interviewed three people from Yale, dumb as rocks.
Quite correct. A shrink should be in the business of promoting healthy relationships, not destroying them.
