There is a disease running rampant through American society with symptoms very similar to the onset of a virulent form of cognitive dementia. It strikes young and old, rich and poor and makes no distinction between Republicans and Democrats. There have been no reports issued yet from the CDC but the contagion appears to have begun on American college campuses on the eve of the last presidential election. Students with snowflake personalities had to be consoled with safe spaces and hot chocolate because apparently they were demonstrating behavior similar to British children being carpet bombed by the Third Reich. It also appears to have infested certain circles of conservative ideology stuck in the quicksand of a past that no longer exists. While medical authorities have yet to chime in, the disorder is commonly referred to as Trump Derangement Syndrome.
There is much consternation and alarm among the public because the infectious agent looks to be on the rise and spreading quickly. It appears to be striking citizens with locked worldviews who lack the ability to adapt to new ways of thinking. The resulting brain disorder is likely far more dangerous than a genetically inherited malady as it appears to be a fatal consequence of long term ideological indoctrination and a failure to relate to average, everyday people.
Of late, two high profile figures are showing symptoms of this disease-Chuck Schumer, a Democrat and the senior US Senator from New York along with George Will, a Republican and a Pulitzer Prize winning columnist and conservative commentator. Schumer has been falling all over himself with absurd allegations that the Trump administration is in cahoots with the Russians and conspired with them to overthrow the Campaign of Hillary Clinton. Wild accusations in the face of bitter disappointment are classic indications of TDS and sadly, to date there is no cure. It’s a heartbreaking sight to watch Schumer spitting on a microphone and waving his arms while he utters bedridden clichés like demanding proof beyond a “shadow of a doubt” that his laughable accusations will be investigated fairly.
George Will is more toxically affected. He is on the verge of hallucinations that Trump has marched on the sacred territory of conservative politics and is in the act of defacing shrines to Ronald Reagan and Bill Buckley. Will is under delusions that Trump is a vulgarization of the chaste purity of the conservative orthodoxy that feeds the well blessing the Republican Party with superior political thinking. According to Will, Trump is poisoning the holy water. The disease of TDS has produced such an impending, plague-like sense of doom in the brain of Will that he has left the party.
It’s probably too late for victims of TDS like Schumer and Will and they could eventually end up shuffling past each other in opposite directions as they haunt the corridors of a nursing home salivating and talking to themselves. But the rest of us can take steps to protect ourselves. We can do this simply by keeping a clear head and understanding what’s going on.
A populist now sits in the White House because the people finally concluded that there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats. They are really just bookends on an embedded political establishment that has become a parasitic fixture in American politics. They both love big government and they have both abandoned the interests of average Americans. Most of us are neither Republicans nor Democrats; we are just people who want to live a dignified existence with as much freedom as possible.
When we observe that both sides are in the process of attempting to undermine the new administration we must understand that the new president is very likely onto something and that makes him a threat to the political establishment that has been the source of our misery for generations. Do not allow yourself to be infected with TDS. Your best protection is just to be aware of your surroundings and exercise basic common sense. We can get through this and we can rebuild our society to make it better for our children and grandchildren. The old political establishment has to go because it is the source of the disease.
