Democrats Agree on One Thing: They’re Very, Very Nervous ‘Trump anxiety disorder’ has morphed into anxiety about
NYTimes ^ | 11/13/19 | Sarah Lyall

The past three years have not been easy for the political fortunes or the emotional health of America’s Democrats. To the extent they feel optimistic about anything, they have been waiting for the 2020 election in the way inhabitants of a storm-ravaged city might look toward the end of hurricane season — as an opportunity to restore order not just to their fractured physical world, but to their battered psyches.

Why, then, even with the potential catharsis of impeachment proceedings against President Trump now underway, do so many feel so awful?

I can understand their anxiety. The economy is doing so well; unemployment is at its lowest level in decades; wages have increased and are still on the rise; bad trade deals have been replaced with ones more favorable to the US; millions are off the “food stamp” and welfare rolls...

I could go on, but the truth is capitalism works very well when led by a capitalist.

Because they know he will NOT be removed from office and will in all likelihood win a second term.

“they are trying to make a complete lie into the truth.”

You have to wonder what kind of homes they were raised in, that it’s acceptable behavior to lie at all, much less lie “every day, all day long; every night from dusk ‘til dawn”.

We are warned in the Bible that there will be trouble but we are not to get too despondent because of the higher power of God whose weakness is more powerful than the strength of evil. If you don’t have that powerful ally and only the world and it starts to crumble you crumble with it.

Makes me wonder if Soros has complete control of all the Dems who teach in our National Education System. The teachers may have been brought up in good homes, but the Leftists controlling everything is much more important than character and integrity.

added 266,000 jobs

But these are mostly low-quality private sector jobs, not high quality gubmint jobs where you get to sit around and write white papers on how to improve the well-being of the American people by advancing policies to tell them how to bring their quiality of life up to that of a Georgetown University MPA sitting in a cubical in a feral office building in DC.

It’s very hard to regulate the poor when Trump is changing their lives from poor pawns to empowered. The ruling class empty promises and handouts is being seen as just that.

It’s the Tell-Tale Heart effect.

You can’t escape your own conscience.

I had read something recently about a similar effect where it was stated that some women want as many other women as possible to have abortions so that they feel better about their own. A diffusing of sin.

"It's unbelievable– they've created a monster, the very thought of which is consuming them"

And that's just the imaginary monster. The real monster is when those upon whom they inflict their psychoses decide enough is enough.

“There’s something about the ongoing saga of President Trump that hasn’t gone away,” Dr. Farber said. “This isn’t an event so much as an ongoing occurrence, something that feels life-changing, something that has changed the country in ways that has implications for the way that people live.”

Yup! It is an important point of order though to recognize it is the Democrat leadership and media biased reporting that an false narrative and “on going” saga.

Is there something life changing happening for America. Yup! There sure is...it’s called we’re becoming a Great country again. And yes, in doing so it does mean we have to embrace or leadership and role in the country. And for many leftists...it also means the world.

We took a backseat for decades on the world stage. The change happening is visible, palpable in the heart and mind. This weak-minded generation isn’t ready for MAGA and they are frightened by the reality they will have to face for another 4 years. The reality of the independent person, a leading nation in the world, and ...work.

Reading this psych collage of the liberal landscape actually makes me sad for them. They are so wrapped up in identity politics they can’t view themselves as contributor to the whole. They are Adrenalin junkies on their own anxiety. Whether we, conservatives, care to admit it...these anxiety folks are junkies on their own hormones.

Feel-good story of the day. One thing these folks have in common - They don't give any reasons for loathing DJT. They just do.
