[An Example of TDS - Jonathan Alter - YouTube](https://youtu.be/BSSWtes8dNs)
Many on the Left have trouble understanding [[Trump Derangement Syndrome]], just as many on the Right have blindspots of their own.
This is a recent episode of 2Way in which the host, Mark Halperin, invited Jonathan Alter on the show to promote his latest book. After a warm introduction, Alter began to speak, and it is clear by his comments he is obsessed with the evil of Donald Trump.
Watching and listening to him, I actually felt sorry for him. It is clear he is greatly troubled by the prospect of another term for Mr. Trump.
I wanted to simply say to him, "it's going to be Ok."
I fear for the countless people mostly in the Northeast and the West Coast who suffer with TDS and what the possible re-election of Mr. Trump will mean for them personally. For some, it will be anger to the point of violence.
For many others, like Mr. Alter, it could be a much more debilitating emotional and mental crisis. Hopefully not, but listinging to Mr. Alter in this video gives me reason to be concerned for him.
