Commentary: It’s Not ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome,’ It’s a Fever-Fueled Effort to ‘Fundamentally ..

The Democrats’ behavior after 2016 is not mass delusion or mass hysteria or Trump Derangement Syndrome, or any of the other psychobabble explanations that dominate our political commentary. My first career was as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, and I am not impressed with spraying around clinical terms as a substitute for looking at what is in front of us. Trump Derangement Syndrome is a colorful description for political behavior. It is not an analysis of what causes it.

Under Barack Obama, ordinary Democrats became enamored of the narrative that they were the Good People, hence entitled to crush anyone in their way, because everything they do is in the service of social justice.

The derangement we are facing is not Orange Man Bad; it is America Bad.

The Democrats don’t believe in our two-party system anymore. They utterly reject American civic norms of treating the president with a modicum of respect and cooperation. They don’t want to alternate presidential power every four or eight years. They think theirs is the only party that deserves to be elected.

Before Trump was a gleam in their eye, Democrats saw themselves as the only morally valid people in the country. They don’t want individual rights anymore, only group rights. They want Republicans and dissenting liberals to be silenced. Silencing is too good for us—they want us publicly shamed, if need be physically attacked, and any contrary ideas hounded out of the public and the private square.

Democrats hate our electoral system as unjust because it doesn’t deliver to them guaranteed victory. All their efforts towards 2020 will be focused on changing our election laws and norms. They don’t want the electoral college, which guards against domination of the country by politically narrow urban population centers.

THEY NEVER HAVE, see 1861.

"They don’t want to alternate presidential power every four or eight years. They think theirs is the only party that deserves to be elected."

They want a tyrannical dictatorship.

MUST-READ for everyone.

Bravo Karin McQuillan for a sagacious yet clearly penned and succinct portrait of the Democratic [sic] party's power madness.

I was going to attach a few excerpts to this post, but the entire article is worth a good read.

It didn’t start with Obama but long before.

Saul Alinskey Rules For Radicals was when it came out in general policy for the left, but it started with the Frankfurt School decades before, and the infiltration of our higher levels of education, where they effectively crowded out conservatism.

Great post.

This article is right on the money. Add to this the fact that California, New York, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland, D.C., and Minnesota seem to be irretrievably lost and you have the makings of a civil war.

Under Barack Obama, ordinary Democrats became enamored of the narrative that they were the Good People, hence entitled to crush anyone in their way, because everything they do is in the service of social justice. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The fascists of Europe did the same in the 1920s and 1930s.The social parallels are astounding: abortion, euthanasia, vegetarianism,racial division, and social justice.

The left in America are the REAL fascists. May God protect us from them, and may we never elect them to office.

And if you think we are immune from liberal fascism, read this analysis, its excellent:

“The Quintessential Liberal Fascist”

The Left is so afraid the real Donald Trump as in this picture, will become better known, not the Oger as painted by the Left and the MSM ...maybe even loved as many in this country do...the Socialist in America are terrified President Trump will be better known. POTUS is a good man and good American, and a great leader.

Nice article, yet there is a problem within it that should be addressed.

First sentence...
They just wanted to win, at any cost to America and to our democracy.

Second sentence...
They don’t believe in the philosophy of “live and let live,” so vital to our republic.

America's form of government is a Constitutional Republic.
You can't have it both ways as they aren't the same form of government.
Pick a side! That's what it really boils down to.
Mob rule (democracy) or rule of law (Constitutional Republic).

Alas for the purported conservative writer, TDS is a real thing and real problem.

Yes, a great column that summarizes the enemy democrat party.

It’s all the better knowing that “Karin McQuillan served in the Peace Corps in West Africa, was a clinical social worker and psychotherapist, and is now a writer and regular contributor to American Thinker and American Greatness.”

Like David Horowitz, she KNOWS the Left.

And if they’re not careful..... Texas will be next.
