Trump Derangement Syndrome: anything that Trump does must be evil.

Trump Cult Syndrome: anything Trump does was inspired by God.

Trump was evil.

Whether or not he was more evil than Hillary would have been, I cannot say.

Please refer to "The Gala Report" post on:

"This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as "shared psychosis" or "folie à millions" (madness by the millions) among followers, a phenomenon that has been well documented by renowned mental health experts such as Carl Jung and Erich Fromm."

The result is we have two "sides" screaming at each other but not acknowledging that both sides have provable points and outright fantasies.

Thank you for that, I very much agree with you, America has become two solitudes.

Why did you dispute my colonic shtick? I thought it was clever and scatological, that’s why I use the word assholes.

IMHO Trump just piled on with "insanity" making it possible the even greater division between the "sides" of America. This Joe Rogan interview of Jimmy Dore explains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiLGSVH_UPA Look at the last 5 minutes for Rogan's talk.

Yeah I gotcha, everyone’s getting in the car already eight out of 10 pissed off.

What you say is right but it loses the majesty of Trump the unauthorized president the bloviating monster thundering down upon conventional politics and basic decency. But that was the point, politeness and convention where the cover-up that our leader Caitlin is railing against.

Schadenfreude is my thing, but if you’re not enjoying the elites getting fucked now and again you’re squandering the best part.
