As the era of Trump approaches, some Americans are succumbing the follow four syndromes:
1. Normalizer Syndrome. These people would like the believe Trump will be just another president – more conservative and pompous than most, but one who will make rational decisions once in office. The normalizers are under a grave delusion. Trump has a serious personality disorder and will be a clear and present danger to America and the world.If you find yourself falling into one or more of these syndromes, I urge you to pull yourself out. We will need you in the peaceful resistance.
2. Outrage Numbness Syndrome. These people are no longer outraged by what Trump says or what he does – his cabinet picks, his lies, his bullying – because they’ve gone numb. Their minds can’t conceive of someone like this becoming president, so they've shut down emotionally. People suffering from outrage numbness need to get back in touch with their emotions, as painful as that is.
3. Cynical Syndrome. These people have become so cynical about the whole system – the Democrats who gave up on the working class and thereby opened the way for Trump, the Republicans who engaged in voter suppression around the country, the media that gave Trump all the free time he wanted, the establishment that rigged the system – that they say the hell with it. Let Trump do his worst. How much worse can it get? Wrong. It can get a lot worse.
4. Helpless Syndrome. These people just don’t know what to do. They feel powerless and paralyzed. Wrong. There's much to do.
What do you think?
