Journalist Mark Halperin recently spoke to a doctor on his 2Way program, and the doctor spent part of the time describing what some of his leftist patients are going through. Many of them are still experiencing trauma, according to the doctor, who goes into great detail about their suffering.
He even goes so far as to compare it to the trauma he witnessed as a doctor after 9/11.

‘Real Crises’: Doctor Tells Mark Halperin His Patients Struggling With ‘Genuine Fear, Panic’ After Trump Win
Jackson, Wyoming internal medicine physician Glenn Burnett told political analyst Mark Halperin on Thursday that his patients are struggling with significant mental health issues in the aftermath of President Donald Trump’s November election win.
Halperin had warned in October that he believed a Trump victory would trigger an historic “mental health crisis,” prompting issues including addiction, divorce and violence. While Burnett did not cite those specific issues on Halperin’s “2WAY TONIGHT,” he did note some of his patients have “depression, anxiety” and similar “medical problems,” comparing the intensity of the symptoms to what occurred after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S…
“We are dealing with depression, anxiety, all kinds of medical problems that are related to that, like insomnia, chest pain, chest pressure. And then people are — there’s some genuine fear, panic,” he continued. “I hear things from people all the time that I just — I don’t want to repeat because they’re — people, I don’t think, would believe me, that just people have these very, very severe anxieties about what is going to happen to them. And it is affecting their lives.”

These folks will get little sympathy from Trump supporters and others on the right, after what they put the country through in recent years. They might also want to stop treating politics as a substitute for religion.
