THE NEW PTSD--PERSISTENT TRUMP STRESS DERANGEMENT [1]

I confess. I have the new PTSD. Trump has driven me crazy.
I can’t stand Trump. I hate everything about him—his voice, his smile, his hair, his ties, his lies, his sneer, his belly, every single little thing.
Also, all the big things—his corruption, his racism, his antisemitism, his disdain for the truth, his anti-egalitarianism, his desire to be dictator, the threat he poses to democracy, his attempt to overthrow the government, his embrace of the antiabortion movement, his hypocrisy, his rejection of science, his rejection of facts.
I hate his success. I hate that he has been able to lie and cheat his way to the top. I hate that our democracy allowed him to be elected president. I hate that our justice system has been so slow and ineffective in bringing him to account for his actions.
Trump’s success makes me question whether when I was teaching my children about honesty, fair dealing and justice, I was correct in thinking that these values mattered.
I hate that the media glorifies Trump, is fascinated with his dictatorial tendencies. It seems that the media is actually trying to help Trump become president again. When Trump says that Biden will start “WWII” or that he ran against Obama in 2016---the media minimizes the mental lapses that caused these bizarre statements.
But, more than anything, I hate it that Trump is there, every day, on the TV, on the radio, on NPR. I hate that since 2015 every day I have heard the word “Trump.” Trump is like a song I can’t get out of my head. Trump pops up at unexpected, unbidden and inconvenient moments.
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
I hate that Trump makes me feel hate. I feel that my hate diminishes me.
I am so sick of Trump. Be gone, be gone, be gone from my life—"Shazzam-poof”.
Oh, if it were only so easy.
