Republican Disingenuity Syndrome (AKA Trumpitis)

Call a doctor immediately if you are experiencing flip-floppiness, paranoid delusions about bamboo, or inability to understand the word “insurrection”

Perhaps you have a friend, loved one or family member suffering from Republican Disingenuity Syndrome (also know as Trumpitis). It is very likely you may have an elected official near you who has been infected with Trumpitis. It does appear to be most particularly contagious and virulently infectious among middle-aged and elderly white males whose occupation is “politics.”

Though a cure has yet to have been found, diagnosis is half the battle. Once correctly diagnosed as a sufferer of Trumpitis — and the good news is that it is very easy to identify a sufferer as they are prone to baffling utterances of pure insanity — infected individuals can perhaps be contained and corralled with the two main strategies being 1) laughing them out of the room or 2) just let them keep speaking and making fools of themselves. If they do break free of containment, then one of the leading seekers of a cure to Trumpitis, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy), can be called upon to step forward to give them a good whack upside the head.
