Avengers’ director Joss Whedon suffers from the all-too-common mental disorder known popularly as Trump Derangement Syndrome. The condition is not yet part of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, but it’s symptoms are depressingly evident.
But Whedon acts as a sort of poster boy for both the disorder, and the attendant philosophic descent of modern liberalism.
Whedon, who comes from a family of wealth, grew up in Manhattan and went to high school at an elite all-boys school in England. He attended Connecticut’s pricey, private liberal arts school, Wesleyan University. He’s lived and swam in Hollywood circles for decades. Whedon is not only a successful Hollywood producer and director — including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Dollhouse and The Cabin in the Woods — he is wildly rich with a net worth estimated at $100 million.
He has had a full inculcation in modern liberalism, the kind that can make him rail against average Americans who oppose the dangers and wage suppression of illegal immigration while he lives securely in a gated mansion with no competition from those immigrants; the kind that can make him rail against guns, while his personal security is maintained by men with guns.
So as spring follows winter, he has imbibed heavily of irrational Trump hatred sauce since November 2016. No hyperbole is too great for the smallest of perceived infractions. No amount of good news on the economy or world stage is not met with even more frothing Trump hatred. It’s the heart of the disorder, and an almost logical plunge for those who think there are 72 genders.
His latest dive into the dark pool of jaw-dropping Trump hatred also sadly represents Big Liberalism, a philosophy in full breakdown in its own right. It’s unknown what tripped Whedon’s emotional trigger this time — it really doesn’t take anything — but he tweeted this a few days ago:
“Donald trump is killing this country. Some of it quickly, some slowly, but he spoils and destroys everything he touches. He emboldens monsters, wielding guns, governmental power, or just smug doublespeak. Or Russia. My hate and sadness are exhausting. Die, Don. Just quietly die.”

Let’s break down the rant, because it is so instructive — not just of Whedon, but of all those suffering this same descent into madness.
Joss Whedon does not give one example of Trump “killing this country,” because there isn’t one. GDP is up, unemployment is down, deregulation is in gear, taxes have been cut, the military is slowly being rebuilt and so on. First sentence, demonstrably irrational. But to Whedon and others suffering, it’s just obviously true!
On the second sentence, charging that Trump spoils and destroys everything he touches, again he gives no evidence. Nothing.
The charge that Trump “emboldens monsters” is just provably false. Which monsters exactly has he emboldened? ISIS? ISIS has been largely eradicated as a land-holding terrorist organization since Trump’s election. Putin? Putin undoubtedly does not see it that way with sanctions, attacks on Putin allies and strengthening defenses against Putin’s expansionist desires. North Korea? Obviously the opposite is true with the North moving towards talks and pulling back some. Iran? Again, Trump is aiding the opposition trying to contain the terrorist state. What’s ironic is that the president who demonstrably emboldened all of these monsters was Obama. Each one became much stronger during Obama’s presidency.
The charge that Trump…“wielding guns, governmental power, or just smug doublespeak. Or Russia.” This is just where the frothing starts. Wielding guns? Who knows. Governmental power. Trump has been deregulating. That is kind of the opposite. And liberalism feasts on government power in the first place, so how would that even be a negative? Smug doublespeak? Or Russia? What now? Whedon, like so many others, is just sputtering nonsense repeated daily as though everyone knows. But there are no clothes on this king.
The fatefully critical part is the last sentence.
My hate and sadness are exhausting. Die, Don. Just quietly die.
Honesty. Finally. He hates Trump. He loathes to the point of wanting him dead. This is probably his most accurate portion.
Liberals hate Trump in a fashion that is wholly divorced from reality. Because by almost all actions and policies, he’s been an average to above-average conservative president. He simply has a unique and at times grating personality. Much of conservatism found that to be true of Obama, just in a different way. Note please, there was no such insanity then.
Then, wishing the president to die. This reveals the disorder in full bloom. Whedon is obviously not a dumb man. But when you publicly wish death to the President of the United States to your 226,000 Twitter followers, you’ve just begged for trouble.
But Whedon’s tweet includes many of the things that Big Liberalism tells itself and its devotees every day. They all believe it so blindly, with such religious-like fervor, they can just say, Guns! Russia! Monsters! And everyone nods their head in delusional agreement.
In an interesting and what appeared to be a contrarian sign, Joss Whedon appeared to be locked out of his account by Twitter, which generally only does this sort of thing to conservatives. Alas, however, it turns out it was just long enough for him to take down the tweet, then he was back in business.
But his grievance over it was real. He tweeted:
“Well I was put in twitter suspension but luckily there was also a jock, a weird girl, a socialite and a rebel and it turns out we’re all the same or something (?) anyway they all hooked up and I had to write this tweet so I’m not sure, trump still killing the country tho lol”

This is the sort of thing someone unstable tweets. Whedon nicely exemplifies Big Liberalism: lots of money, lots of privilege, lots of arrogance, lots of hypocrisy, lots of insulation from Americans…growing mental instability.
Here’s the thing that many Americans will soon have to wrestle with (although probably not those suffering from the syndrome); despite all of these wild-eyed, bomb-throwing, the-end-is-nigh! proclamations, none of their prophecies of doom have come true.
There’s just not one iota of evidence to suggest Trump has done or will do any of the things these people claim he has already done. They don’t provide evidence for an obvious reason. Just wild denunciations. It’s easily arguable the country is better off at this point under Trump in every measurable way.
But Joss Whedon is Hollywood, and the media, and pop music stars and the broader Trump-deranged Big Liberalism culture that feeds off rabid hatred of the President that is beyond all reason. Eventually, either reality is going to create a crisis point for Whedon and the rest of Big Liberalism, or they will continue saying killing babies is a choice, and men can be girls if they feel like it and Trump is destroying the country. That will create a different crises.
Unlike their horrid conservative counterparts, leftists are loving, rational, and happy.
He might just be a garden-variety liberal jackass
I believe the line “He emboldens monsters, wielding guns, governmental power, or just smug doublespeak” is a list of points i.e.:
He emboldens monsters: monsters wielding guns, monsters wielding government power, or monsters wielding smug doublespeak.
Monsters wielding guns is probably supposed to refer to the school shooter and other supposed “mass shooters”, but in large part those people have proven to be either mentally-deranged individuals, or actual liberals.
Monsters wielding government power is less clear. Maybe Whedon means the Consumer Protection thing, where a Trump appointee summarily dismantled the carefully-scripted Leftist fiefdom set up by Sen Warren, or the housecleaning going on at the EPA.
Smug doublespeak is probably a referral to us Deplorables.
“Big Liberalism” AKA BIG TYRANNY AKA continued and increasing constitutional federal acts.
FIGHT BACK!!! MAGA by restoring our Free Constitutional Republic.
“Liberals hate Trump in a fashion that is wholly divorced from reality.”
I have wondered about this, particularly as the article states most of it is without reason, just blind hate. That hate is not for Trump. That hate is for US! And, it is real.
There is a small percentage of the population (Cambridge, Berkeley, Ann Arbor, Hollywood, etc.) that will cheer and think Joss is brilliant.
But basically the whole group of “independents” who make up the large “undecided” voting block are deciding very firmly: Democrats are the party of angry crazy people who don’t like America. Normal people do not want to see themselves that way.
Winning.
Not a few Christian thinkers and even some Orthodox rabbis have concluded that irrational, hysterical Trump hatred is indeed Satanic.
Seems to me he started out more as a libertarian. But the hollywood libs got their sticky hooks and tenticles into him when they started praising him for strong female characters (ripley, river, etc) and he became a junky for the attention. That’s my theory. I think it happens a lot in hollywood
Whedon’s a jackass, but clearly that last tweet was comparing his Twitter suspension to detention in The Breakfast Club and was actually kinda funny.
Well, it's a joke about feeling like being a character in the "Breakfast Club" movie where they were all put in suspension on a Saturday morning and forced to write about what they did or something like that. In his mind, he's the nerd character apparently. It took a moment to figure that out. As far as I recall, nobody hooked up in that movie so that threw me off.
How could someone like Joss Whedon come up with a libertarian Space Cowboy epic like Firefly?
So sad. Firefly is dead to me now.
It’s probably time for some of these hate-filled freaks to be disappeared. Poof! and they’re no longer around.
I don’t know why they’ve labeled hatred like Whedon’s “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The Left hates the Right, period. They aren’t willing to live and let live. They want to destroy anyone who won’t submit to their control. Before Trump, it was “Bush Derangement Syndrome.” Before that, they hated Reagan. In the UK, they hated Thatcher intensely. If and when the next Republican is elected President, it will be “Derangement Syndrome” for him or her. They hate because its what arrogant, entitled, authoritarian control freaks do.
That is how liberals converse with each other, occasionaly one expresses it publicly.
Trump is killing the 'status' of phonies like Joss Whedon...that's the real problem these Hollywood blowhards have.
NOW Hollywood has the same 'charm' as the Kennedy name after watching Chappaquiddick, the same Savoir Faire as the White Trash Clintons... and the same respect given to the fallen men of 'Me Too' fame.
That's what's eating Joss Whedon up... the country is waking up to liberal lowlifes.
Liberals don't 'care' about illegals, they care about having CHEAP LABOR AND extra 3rd world type to prop up their political power. They don't care about 'blacks' - Trump has helped the black community MORE with jobs than the last 4 Presidents combined. Nope, Hollywood cares about keeping blacks dependent and grateful because 'blacks' are the excuse liberals use to attack the middle class.
Yes, Joss Whedon hates traditional Americans but the difference is now WE HATE HIM BACK ... WE SEE HIM FOR WHO HE REALLY IS... Joss sucks.
>So sad. Firefly is dead to me now.
That’s the irony! The ‘unification’ with its clear censorship, oppressive rulemaking, rabid preference for hyperelitism (qua super 3d medical imaging on Ariel vs. mud farming @ Jaynestown), extending even to wiping out an entire planet trying to ‘perfect’ humanity, is everything contemptable in Firefly/Serenity ... and so obviously every globalists’ dream ... and yet modern-day Joss dons the purple belly uniform daily now.
