Psychosis (noun): a symptom or feature of mental illness typically characterized by radical changes in personality, impaired functioning, and a distorted or nonexistent sense of objective reality.
The liberal takeover of the public and higher-education systems has induced a specific type of programmed psychosis within the millennial generation, one that can be described clinically as a hyper-anxiety disorder. This anxiety erupts over certain words, pronouns, political and religious views, and many other so called "micro-aggressions".
This hyper-anxiety has created an environment of rage, intolerance and a warped sense of reality.
The riots at the University of California at Berkeley in response to a planned speech by Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos perfectly illustrates this psychosis and what it is doing to free speech, education and diversity of thought.
The Berkeley students rioted in response to Yiannopoulos being asked to speak at a venue on the school campus. The students did not protest, they rioted, destroying school buildings, throwing bricks, fighting bystanders and screaming racist names. After the event was canceled due to safety concerns the students spilled into the town of Berkeley, Calif., and destroyed store fronts, confronted drivers on the roads and beat suspected Donald Trump supporters to the point of unconsciousness.
This psychosis has been witnessed across college campuses for a couple of years now and is quickly escalating.
Students in California and Arizona schools are protesting border agents at their job fairs because it makes illegal students feel unsafe and threatened. Students at Emory University protested because "Trump 2016" was written on campus sidewalks in chalk, making them feel "unsafe" and in "pain." A black female employee at San Francisco State University assaulted a white male student because he had dreadlocks, claiming "cultural appropriation." (She must have forgotten dreadlocks originated with the Greeks.)
At Yale University, many students signed a petition to repeal the First Amendment. Oregon State University, a public university, is now beginning to hold racially segregated retreats on "white privilege." The University of Oklahoma placed signs in the shape of footprints around the hallways on campus that had messages shaming students for being white.
And, with the rise of the controversial Black Lives Matter group, black millennials at Harvard University have passionately suggested their white counterparts commit suicide as retribution for their "white privilege" — because black millennials at Harvard know so much about oppression and lack of privilege.
Millennials on college campuses around the country are vigorously demanding "safe spaces" and totalitarian reactions for any "micro-aggressions" they encounter in their safe bubble, where they don't work, don't pay taxes and barely make it out in six years with a four-year degree.
Millennials have come to believe that the First Amendment is freedom from free speech, instead of freedom to speak freely.
This psychosis millennials are exhibiting across college campuses has led to the resignation of university presidents, the firing of professors, the banning of speakers who are not from the liberal left, the restriction of free speech of students and faculty, and the continued coddling of students, leaving them emotionally and intellectually stunted as they graduate with a lifetime of debt.
Psychology has proved that when a patient exhibits extreme anxiety, like millennials are doing, it is the wrong course of treatment to help that patient avoid what is causing their anxiety. They need to face it head-on to be cured and to become functioning human beings in a society that was founded on freedom of speech and expression.
To cure a patient of hyper-anxiety and fear, they are put through exposures. Exposures are designed to introduce patients to their anxiety and fear so they can then overcome them.
For millennials, the exposure they need is Trump shock therapy. Trump is the natural and necessary correction to the politically correct, micro-aggression, and sniveling "I can't even" hyper-anxiety programmed into the millennial generation.
President Trump is bringing into the spotlight the libertarian and conservative counterculture of brash disgust for the politically correct cowardice that the liberal left uses to suppress the majority of Americans. In short, Trump is forcing millennials to experience reality on economic, domestic and foreign-policy issues.
For millennials, Donald Trump is the cure, not the disease. They need someone to speak to them with blunt, vigorous truths to cure them of the psychosis that has them living in a nonexistent reality created by the liberal left.
The fact is that the left has bullied people into silence over the last 20 years by name-calling and have forgotten how to argue. The peace and love party has turned into the hate and silence party.
Trump is the therapy millennials need so they can depart their safe spaces and enter the world as adults who have to confront realities that aren't always easy.
