Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well.
So, we all know that crazy rich far- left Hollywood types tend to dislike Donald
Trump.
And by “dislike”, I mean like a person with an allergy to bee
strings dislikes killer bees.
We’re talking major ragey-fear hatred here, so much so that it seems
to be affecting their physical and emotional health.
I mean, Lena Dunham said she lost weight because of the result of
the 2016 election.
And certainly, given the spewing of bile that happens on Twitter from these famous blue-ticked
accounts with millions-strong followings, like, some of
the most histrionic, unhinged, hateful stuff I’ve ever seen from
anyone, we can only conclude these anxious Hollywood victicrats
have been emotionally traumatized beyond anyone’s realisation
by the simple fact that their preferred political candidate didn’t win
an election.
Of course, all these antics are symptomatic of Trump Derangement
Syndrome, or TDS, which is an infection that has been racing through
the regressive left since November 9 th , 2016.
The origin of the term can be traced back to political columnist
and commentator Charles Krauthammer, a psychiatrist.
He coined the phrase “Bush derangement syndrome in 2003” during
the presidency of George W..
This particular syndrome was defined by Krauthammer as "the acute onset of
paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies,
the presidency – nay – the very existence of George W. Bush." Replace
George W Bush with
Donald J Trump and you’ve got a pretty spot on descriptor of what
we see today.
Simply put; TDS is the hysteria, delusion, and sporadic alternating
between intense anxiety and rage triggered by the fact Donald
Trump is president of the United States.
The disease is characterised by rampant hand-flapping, occasional bouts
of crying hysterically, pushing crazy conspiracy theories, and occupying
a state of cognitive dissonance, generated by a blatant refusal
to accept Trump as president.
It’s a sad state of affairs, and those of us not afflicted by the
condition should have great sympathy for those who are.
One of the chief exhibitors of TDS is actress and singer Bette Midler.
The supposedly divine Miss Bette is well known for her constant
supply of anti-Trump tweets, which range from the furious, to the
puzzling, to the downright ridiculous.
In fact, Bette is so down on Trump
that she has tweeted about him nearly every day, sometimes
multiple times a day, for the last year at least.
Bette Midler has, without a doubt, one of the worst cases of Trump
Derangement Syndrome I have ever seen.
And that’s a high bar, since I’m measuring her against Michael
Moore, Ashley Judd, and Alyssa Milano.
And the reason I bring this up is because, having paid a bit of
attention to Bette recently, I actually think she is on the verge of a
nervous breakdown, brought on by tadvanced stages of TDS.
Honestly, her tweets about Trump have become so colossally
unhinged, she is literally projecting onto Trump the behaviour she
herself exhibits.
It’s a worry, and I’m genuinely concerned, because what we have
here is the first example of what happens when TDS remains
unchecked.
There is, after all, no cure for TDS, and nobody is quite
sure how to control the condition.
So, what I want to do, is give you all a rundown of Bette Midler’s
Twitter psychosis, in order to help us better understand the dangers
of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and maybe inspire in us a little bit
of empathy for what Bette and others like her are going through.
I know, it’s very tempting to laugh at them, but the genuine anxiety
and anguish exhibited by Bette and her Hollywood cronies is
something that the people close to her should actually worry about.
They should attempt to somehow remedy the infection before it
overcomes her totally.
Okay!
So, from my observation, Bette Midler’s particular case of TDS
is defined by six different elements, or “moods” shall we call them.
First; comedic jabs.
These are short form tweets that manifest as
wry, sometimes mildly amusing, often a bit crude jabs at either
Donald Trump or his family.
#Trump said he won’t watch any of Mueller’s testimony, but also
that he’ll probably watch some of it.
His attention span is so poor he
can’t even commit to sit through something about his favorite
subject, himself!
Queen Elizabeth gave Trump #WinstonChurchill’s copy of a rare
book.
Even more rare?
The chance that Trump would actually read it,
or ANY book.
Trump tells a rally tonight, “My mother made the best turkey.”
I doubt the woman ever cooked a turkey in her
life, unless he means in her uterus.
So, these aren’t too unhinged, I mean, they’re pretty petty, but not
what you’d call over the top.
More like your cranky Aunt Emily who always smells of cigarettes not-so-quietly
taking jabs at your Uncle Mack which he carves up the Christmas ham.
I’d say she jots these out when she’s in a reasonably good mood,
doesn’t have much to do, and wants a bit of love on Twitter.
When she’s in less of a good mood, the tweets take a slightly more
sinister turn.
Bette, God bless her heart, has taken to pushing conspiracy theories, and I don’t mean just
Russian collusion.
For some reason, Bette has decided that just because
Fox News doesn’t slag off Donald Trump every time he sneezes
or puts ketchup on his steak, like every single other news network
does, that somehow makes it government propaganda.
FOX HAS BECOME TRUMP'S PROPAGANDA MACHINE.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN US HISTORY, WE HAVE STATE TV.
“It’s a radicalization model.”
For both Trump and Fox, “fear is a business strategy—it keeps people watching.”"
THE QUESTION YOU HAVE TO ASK IS WHY DOES #RUPERTMURDOCH HATE DEMOCRACY SO MUCH??
HE HAS RUINED POLITICS IN THREE NATIONS.
WHY??
Now, it’s really interesting that she’s thrown media giant Rupert
Murdoch into the mix.
The regressive left in Australia does this all the
time; insisting that because Rupert is allegedly conservative, and
some of his media outlets boast a few unashamedly conservative
pundits, that means every single journalist, commentator, and
reporter who works for the Murdoch press has the exact same
opinion and has Rupert himself breathing down their necks every
second, just in case they write/say something slightly out of line with
his evil conservative agenda.
Well, as someone who works for the so-called Murdoch press, I can
tell you right now none of that is the case.
We saw this conspiracy theory flourish in Australia earlier this
year after Labor lost the election.
The leftie luvvies were shrieking that apparently the only
reason they lost was because
This is pretty typical leftie behaviour; rather than self-reflect after a
loss, and pledge to do better next time, they just blame everyone
who isn’t them because they can’t bear to admit that maybe they
were wrong about a few things.
Evidently, given Bette Midler’s tin foil hat outburst, it’s a thing in America
too, among the intellectually lazy and perpetually stupid.
Who’d’a thunk it?
Then, of course, there are the wild reaches; the kind where the
regressive left tries to pin every single bad thing that happens in the
world on Donald Trump, no matter how unrelated.
Like, for example, that time Bette seemed to imply Trump could
control the weather.
In France.
An unheard of 115 degrees in France, one of our allies, and Mr
Trump is only interested in putting tanks on the Mall for his salute to
himself July 4th.
I am so ashamed.
…like, what?
These wild reaches from Bette tend to give way to expressions of
radicalism; things she’d like to do, but doesn’t have the power or the
guts to instigate.
Like the time she applauded vandalism, when she
rejoiced at the constant smashing of Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood walk of fame.
Then there was the time she advocated for what can only be
described as election meddling
Dear #JackDorsey, why don’t you help your country & the planet, by
kicking #Trump off #Twitter?
Or shutting down until the next election?
You’ve made more than enough money & Trump is
strangling the free world w/his racist bile.
Be strong!
You can improve the course of history!
But muh Russia collusion!
This brings me to possibly the most bizarre symptom of Bette
Midler’s quite unique case of Trump Derangement Syndrome…the
limericks
It seems Bette fancies herself quite a skilled poet, often choosing to
express her frustrations with Trump, and various other figures on the
right, not through angry ranting, but through verse.
Everyone loathes Donald Trump, Including the Ladies he Humps.
I predict you will see, He’ll begin World War III,
By Tweeting while taking a Dump.
There once was an asshole named #Tucker Who enjoyed his employ as bloodsucker
He touts on TV Joys of White Supremacy
In a bow tie and suit of seersucker.
We’re sick of the lack of #humanity That spews from the lips of #SeanHannity
Wash his mouth out with soap This fat pompous dope
His logic is just plain #insanity.
Okay.
Now we’ve come to what truly inspired me to make this video.
Bette has penned a number of tweets that aren’t angry, or wry, or
petty, but seem to be a window into the genuine but wholly
misguided depression she feels at the Trump presidency.
And to be honest, it worries me, particularly as her
Twitter bio simply states she’s in mourning.
Here’s what I’m talking about.
Maybe Trump is the President we deserve.
Maybe we have become so corrupt, amoral, materialistic, greedy,
ruthless, manipulative, and such liars, that he really does represent
who we really are.
Maybe we have been fooling ourselves the whole time.
The Mueller Report is in but no matter what it says, there is no doubt
in my mind that Donald J Trump is the most despicable man ever to
inhabit the Presidency; a tragic, repulsive choice, and not a true
American.
He’s shafted banks, vendors, students, his own wives, and
people.
#DonaldTrump has forced us to live through war as a nation for the
last two years; he has caused depression, despair, confusion and
death.
We're not just sick at heart, but literally sick from him; from
uncontrollable rage at the thought that he will get away with his
crimes.
See??
These aren’t normal sentiments to be expressing over
someone who is, despite his hilarious contributions on Twitter, really
quite a normal world leader.
Trump is not Mussolini, for goodness
sake, not even remotely close.
And yet here you have Bette Midler, a woman of enormous privilege and success, tweeting
like she’s living through the reign of an evil feudal overlord,
I mean, what is that?
Surely that’s indicative of someone who is not mentally well.
So, all I can say is that despite how annoying she is,
I can’t help but pity Bette Midler.
She is in such an advanced stage of Trump Derangement
Syndrome that I fear she is too far gone to be cured.
So, let’s all #PrayForBette; may she come around eventually,
so that her terrible mental suffering is somehow alleviated.
