Democrats Agree on One Thing: They’re Very, Very Nervous - The New York Times
11/13/19 ~ By Sarah Lyall
The past three years have not been easy for the political fortunes or the emotional health of America’s Democrats. To the extent they feel optimistic about anything, they have been waiting for the 2020 election in the way inhabitants of a storm-ravaged city might look toward the end of hurricane season — as an opportunity to restore order not just to their fractured physical world, but to their battered psyches.
Why, then, even with the potential catharsis of impeachment proceedings against President Trump now underway, do so many feel so awful?

Comment:
They are mentally disturbed because they are trying to take a complete lie create it into truth. In their little black hearts, they know this is all BS. Cognitive dissonance at its finest.
When your entire view of the world is based on leftist delusional ideology, reality can be very unnerving. That’s the problem with the anxiety-ridden Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA left. They have been living in the world of Alice in Wonderland view of the world and now can’t accept that none of it is true.
Because their disaffection is an internal process, fueled by bad decisions and attitudes. They have externalized their internal dysfunction onto Trump; on some level, they must realize that simply getting rid of the symbol will not get rid of the internal turmoil. Thus, even though they want Trump gone, they remain unhappy because it will change nothing.
Think of all the cognitive dissonance in seeing Trump have one great accomplishment after another and knowing these accomplishments are true but unable to give him any credit.
Then when Trump takes credit, it grates their raw nerves and makes them depressed.
I would call these "Snow Flakes, poor dears”, they are refusing to adjust their world view to reality. So, yes, they deserve what’s happening to them.
Schadenfreude!
Their poor adaptation of "Animal Farm" antics and Star Chamber antics these past weeks is indicative.
