Liberal post-election tears have really been delicious, but this is just getting silly.
On December 5, The Washington Post’s Stephanie Land wrote a completely serious, non-satirical article titled, “Trump’s Election Stole My Desire to Look for a Partner.” Before the election, she had been searching for a “supportive” partner to quench her loneliness and help raise her two kids.
However, by the end of her article/cathartic journey, she felt “sick to her stomach” at Hillary Clinton’s loss. She explained how she is no longer the “optimistic” woman wearing her “Nasty Woman” t-shirt, but someone who realizes that “there is no room for dating in this place of grief.” “I’ve lost that hope in seeing the words ‘President-elect Trump,’” she concluded.
Somebody, please, get the woman a puppy.
But just in case that wasn’t hysterical enough, psychologist Michael Radkowsky penned an article in the Dec. 2 issue of LGBT newspaper Washington Blade explaining that Americans are in an “abusive relationship” with Trump.
Radkowsky, who works with “struggling couples,” had the epiphany after Trump called out the media for their untruths. Although trust in the media is at a new low, Radkowsky claimed Trump is guilty of “gaslighting,” or manipulating people into questioning their own sanity.
The deep thinking psychologist went on to explain that all the “key hallmarks of abuse” are present in the relationship between Trump and Americans. “Isolation” and “vicious criticism” were some of the examples he listed.
Just as those in “abusive relationships” are “cut off from their loved ones,” Radkowsky explained, Trump ran a campaign that divided Americans “based on religion, ethnicity, and class.” Like that time he characterized half of Clinton’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables!” Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton describing Trump supporters.
Radkowsky continued his meltdown, criticizing Trump for having the audacity to “demand that the Hamilton cast ‘apologize!’” after the crew singled Vice-President elect Mike Pence out after a show to express their “alarm and anxiety” at the results of a democrat election. Somehow this means that Trump wants to “scare” Americans into “fearing unnamed consequences if we speak up about actions and policies we don’t like.”
Of course, Radkowsky explained away all of Trump’s positive actions by citing another “hallmark” of abuse: “mixed messages.” Every time Trump assures Americans he’s a “nice guy who simply wants to help all of us,” it’s all part of his evil scheme to “diminish freedoms” while making Americans “doubt” that the abuse is really happening, Radkowsky enlightened.
Radkowsky remarked that he never fully understood the importance of the phrase “land of the free and home of the brave” until Trump’s election “when freedom suddenly became threatened and voicing viewpoint, risky.” Where exactly has “freedom” and “voicing viewpoints” been “threatened?” Radkowsky failed to mention.
Trump hasn’t even been sworn in yet, but the liberal attacks become more and more ridiculous every day.
