I do not know who authored the following, it was sent to me in an Email.
It is political in nature and may cause indigestion to some.
But it is timely and well considered and well written.
I am well aware that some will not understand, some will trash and some will ignore.
Others will laugh, high five and celebrate.
Have fun.

Are You Suffering From 'TARD'? NO
Do you know someone that is suffering from TARD???
Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder (TARD) is a pattern of pathologically disassociated and psychotic behavior, first observed in the late hours of November 8th 2016, and increasing in severity with passing time.
Sufferers of TARD often exhibit pronounced cognitive dissonance, sudden bouts of rage, uncontrollable crying, suicidal ideation, and extreme sadness.
People with TARD are characterized by a persistent unwillingness to accept that Donald Trump is going to Make America Great Again.
Individual sufferers often display signs of paranoia and delusion; in acute cases psychotic episodes have been observed.
TARD is different from being upset about the results of the 2016 presidential election; People with TARD are unwilling or unable to accept reality, despite irrefutable evidence.
According to the DSM-V, individuals with TARD exhibit most or all of the following symptoms:
- Telling others they are moving to Canada
- Fixated on fantasies about the Electoral College
- Protesting an election no credible source contests the outcome of
- Exclamations that “Someone” should do “Something”
- Acute change in demeanor from pompous and arrogant to fearful and combative
- Claim that anyone who disagrees with them is some combination of Racist, Sexist, Bigoted, Homophobic, and actually some sort of Hitler persona
Causes and Mechanisms:
TARD was directly caused by the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America.
For many, both in America and worldwide, this was a shocking and unexpected outcome; their preferred news sources having failed to inform them that the alternative candidate was a criminal parasite in such ill health she got chucked into the back of a van like a kidnap victim.
Diagnosis:
Diagnosis of TARD is straightforward.
Ask the patient if Donald Trump is going to be the Next President of the United States of America.
Some patients will become agitated, and may attempt to deflect.
It’s critical you press them on the issue, even if they start babbling about ‘muh triggers’.
A sufferer of TARD will begin to ramble incoherently, often displaying three or more of the symptoms within a short period of time.
Treatment:
The only known effective treatment is exposure therapy.
The patient must be repeatedly exposed to reality, and should wear a Make America Great Again hat as long as they are able to tolerate it.
Each exposure should increase in length, after a week the patient should be encouraged to be seen in public wearing the MAGA hat.
Coach the patient to refer to Donald Trump as President-Elect Trump.
Patients with TARD are very resistant to treatment, and dangerous in large groups.
Any possibility of treatment requires that they be separated from their hive-mind support apparatus; they cannot begin the process of accepting reality in the presence of encouragement towards delusion and irrationality.
Separation may require the assistance of law enforcement.
If you have a friend or loved one suffering from TARD, urge them to seek treatment.
Together we can beat this scourge, and Make America Great Again!

It is also important to note, and this was a major omission from the original post, that none of the treatments listed are covered by Obamacare.

I find that hard to believe. I'll bet I wouldn't have to go back too far to find it..... |

I wont say I NEVER did. But not to the degree that's going on now. Probably most when I reacted to something he did that affected me personally. I don't remember anyone contesting the election,, nor so much speculation and doom and gloom. And the press was way more friendly cause their guy was elected.
But you know what? You asked what would make me happy and I told you and now you want to debate that! Over and out on this
