The Existential Impact of Trump on Progressives
Many individuals on the progressive side have shown an extreme emotional reaction to Donald Trump, viewing him as an 'existential injury.' This reaction leads to unhealthy behaviors, such as unfollowing colleagues who express any approval of Trump, regardless of personal or situational context. The obsession with opposing Trump appears irrational, as individuals are deeply invested in their hatred towards him despite agreeing with many of his positions. This fixation distracts them from constructive actions, suggesting that instead of focusing on political grievances, they should engage in more positive, everyday activities like spending time with family or reading.
