They’re Losing Their Minds: Trump Derangement Syndrome Descends into New Level of Ridiculousness
The coming crybaby insurrection
Rather than waning, Trump Derangement Syndrom gets worse the longer Trump serves in the Oval Office.
Even for a once staunch opposer of Trump like myself, Trump’s governance has been far less threatening than I ever imagined, leaving me and many others pleasantly surprised.
In the age of personal truths and disregard for anything tethered to reality or absoluteness, it makes sense that those whose personal truth requires perpetual outrage even when circumstances don’t require hysterics, would find an abundance of ways to distort reality into something subjectively alarming.
Such is the case of Jared Yates Sexton. Sexton writes for Salon and has contributed to the New York Times, The New Republic, and Politico.
But those credentials haven’t saved Sexton from the “debilitating” Trump years.
If you're like me, the last three years of the Trump Era have been enraging and, at times, debilitating. This crisis is massive and its consequences far-reaching. We have to fight it, but we're not going to make it if we don't take care of ourselves. 1/

This presidency is just awful, and it seeps into our lives regardless of where we are or what we're doing. It's ubiquitous and painful. It wears us out and breaks our hearts. We have to keep going, but we need to practice self-care. 2/

When I started covering this madness years ago I thought I could work and work and work and never suffer for it. The news only accelerated, the scandals mounted, the crimes grew in number, and the cruelty escalated. The news cycle got so far out of control no one could keep up 3/

It felt like if you even looked away from it you were somehow giving in and being complicit, but that's how this thing is designed. It's meant to wear us down until we can't even muster a fight. 4/

This platform is great for news and reaction and getting a finger on the national pulse, but it's okay to look away for a minute and take a breather. It'll still be here when you get back. 5/

The model Trump is working off of is the Putin strategy in Russia that's meant to muddle reality until we lose all hope and energy and can't keep fighting. It's by design. 6/

People I care about are suffering. People with depression, with anxiety, with mental health issues. They're suffering from this toxic cycle and this toxic atmosphere. And we all are. We have to learn our limits and when and how we need to recharge. 7/
— Jared Yates Sexton (@JYSexton) July 25, 2018
Personally, I thought I was immune to it. I could get on here and use whatever platform I had to play my part. I know now I'm not impervious to it, and I want to say it's okay to step away for a minute and gather yourself and practice self-care. 8/
— Jared Yates Sexton (@JYSexton) July 25, 2018
Trust that there are dedicated people who can fight when you can't fight. There are good people who can stand when you can't stand. Listen to your body, listen to yourself, and rest when you need it because you're going to need to fight and you'll need that energy. 9/
— Jared Yates Sexton (@JYSexton) July 25, 2018
If we run ourselves down until our bodies give out, we're not going to be any good to anyone. That's how authoritarians win, because their lack of shame allows them to trample. We have to take care of ourselves, and one another, because it's more important than ever. 10/
— Jared Yates Sexton (@JYSexton) July 25, 2018
If you're suffering, you're not weak. You need a break. It's not giving up, it's not waving a white flag, it's taking care of yourself and preparing for future battles. Listen to your body and listen to your head. Take comfort where you can find it, rest when you can. 11/11

It will never cease to amaze me that we’re supposed to both believe Russia is the devil incarnate (we can all agree their intentions are hostile to our interests) and also believe everything Russia says (read: propaganda) about Trump and their relationship with the U.S., but I digress.
If you’re wondering if he’s serious, he is. He’s even written a book about it!
THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO RISE is now available. Chronicles how Trump came to power and what fueled his ugly movementhttps://t.co/kc1DtfeoNJ

Snowflake melts in unending agony. Blames Trump. At least he provides the rest of us with entertainment.
I want to tell him, “Oh come on, Jarod, don’t be a wimp! Run yourself down til your body gives out, you can do it!!!”
“People I care about are suffering. People with depression, with anxiety, with mental health issues. They’re suffering from this toxic cycle and this toxic atmosphere. And we all are.”
A scrap of truth. Mentally ill people are suffering from the toxic cycle and toxic atmosphere created by Jared Yates Sexton and his fellow idiots.
Now there’s a headline we’ve been getting a lot of use out of lately. It seems as if peak Democrat insanity is as much of a myth as peak oil.
Indeed. It’s nice when once in a while things turn out so much better than expected instead of worse.
“…peak Democrat insanity is as much of a myth as peak oil.”
Now there is an internet winner for the day.
When hold my beer tells hold my beer to hold its beer.
This is the way people act when they are spoiled, because life is too good.

I love the double comments. I got tired of Yeti doing that real quick. That made me quit reading his crap and zooming down to the peanut gallery. Of which I am a proud member! 🙂
Here is where we are with the Democrats trying to change the mood in the country by creating a Moral Panic around Trump and what would happen if he became President and the imaginary things that are happening since he became President.
Trying to herd a country through a Moral Panic and some kind of stampede of the American people as frightened cattle has taken a complete toll on the people who have been frozen in a Moral Panic instead of reality for 3 years.
I think Trump is using this Moral Panic to win the Midterms and I really hope he decides after the Midterms that it needs to be crushed as in firing or prosecuting Rosenstein and Muller and the whole gang so we can go on as some kind of peaceful country where the attempt Moral Panic has ended.
The Moral Panic has been going on for more than three years. Remember 2008, the Year of Complete Doom and Meltdown from which only the Enlightened One could save us? The Dems learned at that point to swing for the fences. Heck, we had a *presidential candidate* at that time who was more than happy to play along with the nuts and suspend his campaign to deal with That Huge Spending Bill Which Would Save Us All.
Read about the ’64 election. Democrats and the MSM lost their minds when Goldwater was nominated.
“In a period of ten months,” wrote Lionel Lokos in his book Hysteria 1964, “Barry Goldwater was accused of being another Adolf Hitler, fomenting a racial holocaust, advocating a nuclear policy that would destroy half the world, seeking to destroy Social Security, being a lunatic paving the way for totalitarian government.”
http://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/media-monitor/daniel-schorrs-big-lie-2/2010/08/11/
Sounds exactly like what’s been said about Donald Trump.
In fact, if you replace the name “Barry Goldwater” with “Donald Trump” and read that sentence today, you’d have every reason to honestly believe it was written to describe the 2016 election rather than 1964 election.
As much as I’d like to indict McCain for campaigning for Barack Obama, I’m afraid it was incompetence rather than conspiracy that prompted his temporary resignation from the presidential race.
What the hell ever prompted me to vote for that jackwagon? Oh, yeah, right. Sarah Palin.
Incompetence doesn’t really account for the campaigns efforts to discredit its own VP candidate.
Like little babies they need a warm, safe space and something to suck on.
That a long, hyperbolic thread, written as if by a military commander to his subordinates about to hit the beach, concludes with a book promotion is, well….no surprise at all.
Why bother with public readings when you can Twitter froth without the saliva?
I would laugh, but I know a few family members who are suffering from TDS. They are watching a different movie (as per Scot Adams) than the rest of us who live in reality…
Hey, Jared Yates Sexton – GET PROFESSIONAL HELP, mate… asap
The reality is that millions of people were terribly opposed to things Obama did for 8 years. But, for the most part, they lived with their disappointment and resolved to vote and hope for the best. But, they lived with pain and disappointment for 8 years.
Sexton personifies the modern snowflake liberal, or should I say, Democratic Socialist.
“the last three years of the Trump Era??” Have I been asleep?
Jared Yates Sexton admits that he is running with a crowd of mental cases, and further that Trump is an expert at leading them around by their noses.
Three years ago, CBS was putting Trump on the air as much as possible because he was selling air time and making CBS money.
And because Dems were sure he would lose to Hillary. They were SURE he was the weakest candidate, so c*ck-holsters like Steven Colbert dared Trump to run. Obama mocked him that he’d never be president. Mika and Joe kept pretending they were “Trump curious” up until he won the primary and was locked in.
They got what they wanted, but found out it was more than they could handle.
Well, it’s not turning out any better than I expected.
I expected President Trump to be a sensible manager, a logical tactician, an entertaining showman, a tireless salesman, a talented political dancer, and a fine American. And that’s what he’s been.
His sustained energy has been a surprise. But hell, I can’t predict everything.
As for Jared Sexton and his fellow-travelers wallowing in depression, anxiety, and mental health issues … well, inflicting confusion, desperation, and despair in America’s enemies isn’t really the goal of good government. But if it comes as a freebie, I’ll take it.
Apart from your name, there are 3 things on a tombstone. Your start date, your end date and the dash in between. Only two of those things will be celebrated when you die.
I don’t see this person giving cause to celebrate the dash.
Looking at…and quickly becoming bored by…his overwrought, drama queen tweet thread, I can only imagine the dreary tedium of wading through his book.
And, of course I will have to restrict myself to imagining it because never would I waste money on actually buying it and reading it.
This guy wrote THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO RISE..
Well, well, well, funny thing,, LI’s own resident “muse” had an answer to that…

TY Mr. Branco.
He spelled it wrong:
Fork the People.
Otherwise – great cartoon.
I love it! Put that next to the Mona Lisa! Bravo Zulu!!!
Put that next to the Mona Lisa! Bravo Zulu!!!
With any luck, all the leftists, lemmings that they are, will seek relief at the nearest cliff.
Too much to hope for.
Still three months before midterms. Most people know nothing of the FISA scandal. That will change.
Annoying. Sexton made a pass at the be baby sitter and now the rest of us have to sit through his “My Struggle’ virtue signaling.
“strategy that’s meant to muddle reality”
They’ve hit Stage 6 – projection.
The person this idiot describes in his tweets is his hero, Barack Obozo.
BTW, I forgot, is July “round up the gays” month or is that August? And I found an extra woman but don’t have time to oppress her, anyone interested in taking her off my hands?
Actually loled.
No it’s not Fen, but next month is the bi-annual round up of transgendered, bi-sexuals……
Ducking!
I LOLed, but sadly there are actually millions who believe that conservatives want to but homosexuals and other “undesirables” in concentration camps, who believe that conservatives want to put women and blacks and others into chains – or the modern technological equivalent – and to impose a dictatorial theocracy, the likes of which the world has never seen (excepts in certain Islam controlled countries). Wow, that was one long, convoluted sentence.
They actually believe this, even though they cannot find a single example of anyone who actually advocates it – Richard Spencer and David Duke included.
But the progressive worldview necessitates an evil opposition and they will just have to make do by plugging conservatives into their evil fantasies.
Jared is a WATB who should stop sucking his thumb and stick it up his ass instead.
I believe there may be an economic opportunity here. What about a chain of clinics to provide counseling for TDS? Will their medical insurance pay?
I didn’t want Trump to get the nomination but had I known then what I know now, I would have donated money and put out yard signs. I haven’t been this entertained in decades. All I care about at this point is loading up the federal courts and watching the leftists lose their minds.
We’ve got to implement procedures and processes that prevent the evil leftist from taking over governments, colleges, companies, etc. in their Ayers Slow-Mo coups.
How am I supposed to concentrate sufficiently to read his book when I am so debilitated by the terrible toxicity that is the Trump presidency? Can’t he make a gif that summarizes his book in animated pictures, for suffering people like me?
You’re in luck Doug, the print it real big and there are LOTS of pretty pictures!!!!
In fact, Here’s the first chapter….
SEE TRUMP, SEE TRUMP RUN.
TRUMP BAD. TRUMP VERY BAD.
*the print is real big*….Damn, guess I need a proof reader!!!
“The people are going to rise!”
What does he think just happened? They demonized the polite and civil Tea Party with homosexual slurs, so we gave them Trump.
This is why the Democrat’s 18 month Sore Loser Tantrum is so lethal for them – if you can’t identify why you lost you can’t recover.
If I knock you out with an overhand right because you don’t no how to defend against it, if you blame the slick mat or your manager or last night’s bottle of Tequila, you fail to learn how to counter the punch.
So guess what I’m going to throw next hour? And the one after that? You are going to get knocked out by that overhand right over and over and over again till you learn how to defend against it. Eventually you’ll have to learn, so throwing a tantrum for 18 months is just delaying the inevitable.
* Disclaimer *
If you are a Democrat, ignore all that nonsense I just said. You were right along, it was the Russians. And I am just a bot, HAL 9000 series.

Know not no. Yay smart tech. Making Eng Lit majors look illiterate. Nice job.
When you read stuff like that you know without a doubt that we are winning!
Donald Trump has apparently decided to take Mark Twain’s advice in a modified form: Govern like a conservative. This will gratify some conservatives and astonish the rest.
Suffering from TDS? Want to understand better why TDS is even a ‘thing’? You need to read this: https://ricochet.com/538141/catastrophic-thinking-and-the-left-is-there-an-end-in-sight/
Good article about what is wrong with the Ds. Living in fear.
Show me on the doll where Trump policies have hurt you…
Jared Sexton, suffers from TDS. Solution, eat shit and die. Problem solved.
It’s just so entertaining to watch Snowflakes meltdown.
Sexton is one of the unfortunate results of this social media age – everyone with a twitter account thinks he or she is so gosh darn profound and every 140 character bon mot they tap out will change the world for good…
But seriously, if you’re still on the verge of suicide because the person you didn’t vote for is the President, you deserve every bit of ridicule people are heaping upon you.
