Congress’s Trump Derangement Syndrome

Derangement, or psychosis?

The Democratic side of the 116^th session of Congress kicked off its business with an agenda aimed almost solely on “getting” President Donald Trump. (TDS)

The Dem 2019 Platform:  Abolish ICE, LegalizeTranny Bathrooms, Free Healthcare, Free College, Increase the Minimum Wage, Open Borders, Gun Confiscation, Abolishing Prisons, Unrestricted Abortion Rights, Gender Fluidity, More Limitations of Free Speech, Higher Taxes, Voting Rights for Illegals, Lowering Voting Age to 16, and the Proliferation of Crying Closets..But, above all, to “impeach” or remove Donald Trump. Snub Trump by taking time off.

As Michael Goodwin of the New York Post reported on January 5^th, in his column, “Democrats Keep Proving How Detached they are from Reality”:

In its common definition, the job of president of the United States is to deliver peace and prosperity. Donald Trump is doing well on both fronts, so let’s impeach the bastard!

As insane as it sounds, that and only that is what many Democrats have in mind. Impeachment, or death by a thousand investigations, is the heart of their plan.

For proof, eliminate their desire to remove Trump from office and see if you can pinpoint anything else with broad Dem support. Some advocate for open borders, others for tax hikes or Medicare-for-all, but ending the Trump presidency ASAP is the glue holding the party together.

Legislation? Can’t be bothered. Mental energies must be focused on impeaching or opposing Trump.

Is the Trump Derangement Syndrome real, or "faked"?
It's real, and it's dangerous.

Goodwin continues:

For proof, eliminate their desire to remove Trump from office and see if you can pinpoint anything else with broad Dem support. Some advocate for open borders, others for tax hikes or Medicare-for-all, but ending the Trump presidency ASAP is the glue holding the party together.

Yet the Democrat making the biggest news Friday was a foul-mouthed new congress member from Michigan, Rashida Tlaib, who had celebrated her swearing-in by promising that “we’re going to impeach the motherf–ker.” The leftist crowd was jubilant.

Rashida Tlaib’s “Motherfucker”  (D Mich) rant, delivered during a MoveOn event, perfectly encapsulates the tone of Congress now.

Never in modern times has there been such a disconnect between the opposition party and the realities of national life. The very talk of removing Trump, without evidence of an impeachable offense, is a stick in the eye to history and most Americans.

To be clear, the disconnect is not the product of policy differences, though they exist too. This is instead a mass outbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome that, for those infected, can be cured only by undoing the results of the 2016 election.

The Daily Wire reported on January 3^rd:

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) introduced two bills on Thursday, one to eliminate the Electoral College and the other to prohibit presidents from pardoning themselves or their family members.

A press release from Cohen's office stated that the "senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced two Constitutional Amendments today on the opening day of the new Congress. The first would eliminate the Electoral College and provide for the direct election of the President and Vice President of the United States. The second would limit the presidential pardon power by prohibiting presidents from pardoning themselves, members of their families, members of their administrations and their campaign staff."

The Electoral College was created by the Founders to help counter majority rule in a general election.

The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress.  The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. Your state’s entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your Senators.

Hate, of course, is at the bottom of the Democratic agenda, hatred for Trump, a hatred so ingrained that it qualifies to be called more than an obsession, and rather a psychosis than a derangement.

Medical Definition of derangement 

1. older term for a mental disorder.

2. disarrangement of a part or organ.

(Miller-Keane Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health, Seventh Edition. © 2003 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier, Inc.)

3. A disturbance of the regular order or arrangement.

4. Rarely used term for a mental disturbance or disorder.

In simple terms, if a number in a sequence of numbers is missing, or appears at the end of the sequence, then the sequence can be called deranged.

In mental terms, the absence of a logical syllogism in thought, can demote the thought as a derangement, or as a non sequitur. “When the conclusion does not follow from the premises.  In more informal reasoning, it can be when what is presented as evidence or reason is irrelevant or adds very little support to the conclusion.”

A psychosis, or a mass psychosis, is what should properly designate the mental condition of nearly 400 members of the House of Representatives in the 116^th Congress. A psychosis refers to:

…conditions that affect the mind, where there has been some loss of contact with reality. When someone becomes ill in this way it is called a psychotic episode. During a period of psychosis, a person’s thoughts and perceptions are disturbed and the individual may have difficulty understanding what is real and what is not.  Symptoms of psychosis include delusions (false beliefs) and hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that others do not see or hear). Other symptoms include incoherent or nonsense speech, and behavior that is inappropriate for the situation.

A psychosis can be passive, or aggressive and violent as is dramatized in a scene from The Shining. The psychotic members of the House (all Democrats) can be physically passive but mentally and abusively verbose (as in Rashida Tlaib’s case). Or it can manifest itself in the aggressive, violent actions of Antifa or in House members who participate in demonstrations to block or intervene in the course of normal activity (as in the demonstrations against the swearing in of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh .

Without question or exception, the Democratic/House agenda is by definition virulently anti-Trump, dominated by activists and Congressional activists. Judi Mcleod in her article, “When Activists Become Power-Drunk Politicians,” sums up the new face of the Democrats:

'The radicals are still nothing but a screeching fringe, a boil on the rump of society................Dancing Queen Ocasio-Cortez and her ilk prove that you no longer have to be factually correct in ad hominem attacks on the enemy any more, only like Rashida Tlaib capable of shouting obscenities, within hours of being sworn in on Thomas Jefferson’s Quran.

You no longer have to pay allegiance to the Christian Bible by refusing to be sworn in on it like Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. Saul Alinsky, Ocasio-Cortez & Co. will show YOU what [a] real radical is............. There’s only one “AnonymousQ” but millions of Ocasio-Cortez-fawning Marxist Millennials.'

And what touched off the psychosis? Hillary Clinton losing the 2016 election to her political antithesis. Reality did not conform to the Democrats’ wishes. So they screamed and allowed their psychosis to govern their speech and actions.
