I do have Trump Derangement Syndrome.

My dear Trump voters you were right all along.

Although I was mad when you laughed and said I had “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

But the truth is I was deranged.

I was naïve and delusional to believe most of you would vote your moral conscience.

Because you had to.

Because humans come around to ugly truths, eventually.

Because you knew the truth even as cognitive dissonance chipped away at your soul.

Because even if you didn’t believe the facts, you at least felt the truth.

One after the other after the other.

You felt something after you listened to Trump mock a disabled journalist and disrespect John McCain for being captured during the Vietnam war.

You felt something after Trump trash talked soldiers, because no one does that.

You felt something after he said there were good people on both sides in Charlottesville.

And after he laughed about grabbing women by the … because he can.

He didn’t mean those things. It was taken out of context.
