    It's truly odd how you imagine things about a person, then use those imaginings as an argument against him.

    The psychology of mass hysteria is very close to the psychology of mobs, just more physically spread out. It is fascinating. A rational individual will become totally irrational when emotionally affected by some current action and move with the herd. His irrationality will become egregious while at the same time, while in this state, is utterly convinced and certain he is acting totally rational. You can see this in many posts in this thread: it's not Trump derangement syndrome, it is Trump honest syndrome.

    Sounds like our last prez.
    But,.....

    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, I mean, that's a storybook, man."

    I guess we were supposed to be amazed that a black man could read, write and speak, even if every word was pre scripted

    Electing trump was declaring war on Americans. I will NEVER get over it. It shows that America is already dead.

    You can't elect a despot with the heart of a killer and then say, oh well... It was a violation of the social contract between Americans. It shows that trumpers are very very dangerous and would gladly support a dictator.

    I'm not sure how electing an America first president means America is dying.

    Maybe we can go back 10 years and run an economy based on giving banks trillions of free dollars and you more promissory notes

    You elected someone who puts himself first and who doesn't give a crap about America.

    Ironic that you just demonstrated the OP to be wrong about who is suffering from "mass hysteria".

    You've lived and breathed a politically based fictitious story line of Russians and collusion for two years

    The man called for the mass murder of tens of thousands of innocent people; extreme torture, he incites violence against other Americans, he coddles and defends killers like Putin and Duterte. Electing him was declaring America dead. This is the more a banana republic run by a despot than what you still call America.









    He had people in THIS country cheering for mass murder and torture. That was the single most disturbing thing I have ever seen in this country.

    There is no going back. You can't unrape the country. America is dead.

    I strongly urge everyone to support the right of secession rather than a civil war.

    But then you wouldn't have Russia collusion to run on in 2020. Or do you think VP Pence was in on it too?.

    I'll start reading the rest of your posts again when you say something, anything, that isnt hysterical.

    At least you called him a man. Very generous. Now walk a mile in his shoes.

    Just so we're clear, I was reminded of mass hysteria by a TV show, yes, but it is a real thing:

    Periodically throughout recorded history, puzzling instances of psychiatric and neurologic symptoms have presented en masse: outbursts of thrashing and screaming, or jerky spasms and abrupt vocal tics affecting a group of individuals at once and often attributed to causes like possession, witchcraft, and malingering. Such occurrences of so-called "mass hysteria" continue to confound the medical community, but growing experience has improved the understanding and approach to these seemingly contagious psychogenic events. Episodes of mass hysteria cross many scientific disciplines and are of interest to emergency physicians, epidemiologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and those who study behavioral, environmental, and occupational health.[1] The following slideshow explores some of the more prominent and interesting instances of this phenomenon, from the infamous Massachusetts witch hunt of the 1600s through the recent episode affecting teenage girls in upstate New York.


    And don't make me post images of democrats ailing and shrieking en masse on election night 2016.

    You've seen those, right?

    Sometimes posts are impossible to respond to. They leave me dumbfounded.

    Take a breath.

    Trump isn't much different than the average guy you can find in a bowling alley every Friday night in places like Peoria, IL and Richmond, VA.

    If you don't like Trump, you hate half of America.
