Trump’s victory could encourage more group hugs, tears and safe spaces for students to cope.

TDS, Trump Dementia Syndrome, is real and will explode if he wins again.

I’ll admit it: Probably the main reason I want Donald Trump to win another term on Tuesday is so I can watch progressives melt away like they did in 2016.

There is nothing more fitting for what they have subjected this man to over the past eight years.

There was a liberal crisis bad eight years ago is enough, but that was because Trump was a big underdog who won in the last 48 hours. They were shocked.

The University of Pennsylvania has created a “respite” for students worried about Trump’s victory, with coloring books and crafts, as well as a puppy and some cats to cuddle.

Cornell students were “mourning” the results, with one student saying she was “very scared, to be honest.”

Activists from fellow universities Ivy, Yale, Brown and Harvard have demanded that their universities become sanctuary campuses for undocumented students as Trump has threatened to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The University of Michigan Law School held an event after the election that featured “self-care activities such as coloring books, play dough, (and) positivity card making.”

And UCLA students survived the 2016 election blues by playing… with teddy bears.

“TDS,” or “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” is a real disease. I have personally seen it turn what I considered rational and intelligent people into raging madmen.

I didn’t lose too much a lot of friends and family in ’16, except for a few who said on social media things like: “Are you happy now? If you voted for Trump, please unfriend me immediately.” (And who am I not to oblige?)

The 2020 election, and especially this one, was much worse. For example, a close friend of mine from high school and college, a supposed Republican, recently published a long article about supposed parallels between Trump and (you guessed it) Hitler.

Gee, who promoted such nonsense…?

In fact, when I noted the number of anti-Israel/pro-Hamas demonstrations on college campuses at a recent family gathering last summer, a relative managed to get on Trump’s bandwagon and claim that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “worse than Hitler.” “

Seriously. Of course he couldn’t justify accusation, but I think he felt good for a few seconds.

The same family member (who had a cardboard cutout of Obama and Joe Biden hanging outside his front door during the 2012 election season) intervened during the ’16 election, declaring the GOP’s opposition to ObamaCare “racist”—and that all Republicans were too .

When it was pointed out to him that you were indeed a registered Republican, he hesitated for a second or two, looked me in the eye, and then said, “I stand by what I said.”

A timeline of social media events by a former First State Teachers Union influencer, a former acquaintance who had was a reasonable political centrist, the entire election cycle was full of rumors, innuendo and outright MSNBC-style nonsense. He has said more than once that relatives who vote for Trump will have family problems.

How could one person, with whom most people had no problem before entering politics, cause so many people to completely lose their cool?

Personally, I never thought Trump would win the GOP primary in ’16 and initially thought his candidacy was a personal stunt. I’m not a fan of the man’s personality (although I appreciate his humor, his unnecessary insulting nicknames and pervasive arrogance drive me crazy), but anyone with an ounce of objectivity has to admit he’s onto something right. Voters and average working people have been waiting a long time for someone to blame the mainstream media and limousine politicians for constantly crap on them.

Not a single politician in my life (and, I would say, Always) has endured the constant antagonism (including, most dangerously, the legal aspect) that Mr. Trump has endured for nearly a decade. The fact that he is in the position he will occupy on Tuesday is further evidence of how out of touch with reality our supposed players are.

But they will remain steadfast in their denial. And that’s why a Trump victory on Tuesday will be so deliciously sweet.
