In an interview with Tucker Carlson, political journalist Mark Halperin said he believes that if Donald Trump regains the presidency within three weeks, he will “create the greatest mental health crisis in the history of this country.” There is.
As we near the end of our 2-hour discussion (which is well worth it) listening), Carlson said: “Let's say Trump wins three weeks from today. What happens? … As you said, many Democrats believe that Trump becoming president is the worst thing that could happen. .”
“I'm not saying this lightly,” Halperin said, adding, “I think it's going to cause the biggest mental health crisis in the history of this country.”
“Tens of millions of people have been forced to question their connection to their nation, their connection to the rest of humanity, and their connection to a vision of what their future will be like for themselves and their children. “It will be,” he believes. And that will require vast access to mental health professionals. ”
“Are you serious?” Carlson asks.
“I'm 100 percent serious,” Halperin responded, adding that a Trump victory “would lead to trauma in the workplace.” [and] alcoholism [and] A broken marriage. ”
Halperin said Democrats could dismiss Trump's 2016 victory as a “fluke” caused by disgraced former FBI director James Comey's reopening of the email investigation into Hillary Clinton. He added that it was done. But this time, if Trump wins, it will be a normal environment, and a clear victory would mean that “America has chosen according to pre-agreed rules.” [and if] donald trump [wins] Again, I think we're going to create the biggest mental health crisis in American history. ”
“And it will last and be unprecedented and frightening.”
“Mental health crises often manifest as violence,” Carlson says.
“Yes,” Halperin agrees. “I think there will be violence. I think there will be fights at work, fights at children's birthday parties, protests that turn violent.”
“I think it's not anger, it's inability to understand how something like this could happen,” he added. “It's like the death of a child…It's so traumatic that even the most mentally healthy person can't process it and integrate it into everyday life.”
Against a slack-jawed Carlson, Halperin gets to the point. Democrats “believe that our fellow citizens who support Trump are a manifestation of the fundamental evil at the heart of our fellow citizens and our nation.”
First off, I don't think Mark Halperin makes anywhere near the money he makes writing for Bloomberg or NBC News. game change Publish a book and option it to HBO. But freed from the confines of the establishment, he has become one of the most interesting and insightful commentators of the 2024 election season. It was nothing but his brain, sources and interesting analysis that saved him from career oblivion. He's not trying to make headlines or impress anyone. He looks at data, talks to knowledgeable people, and interprets data to help others make sense of things. He earned this comeback. Good for him and good for us!
After all, can you imagine Halperin talking about the collapse of the left's mental health from his former seat on MSNBC? morning joe?
Look at what happened on MSNBC in late 2016 when Halperin suggested Trump had a chance to beat Hillary Clinton.
Of course, Halperin isn't missing out on all the corporate media money, but he's not missing out on all the smugness either.
Anyway, if Halperin even suggested in the corporate media that Trump's victory would send “tens of millions” of leftists into a mental health crisis that could lead to violence…no way.
And I'm not even sure I agree with him. Yes, there will be protests and violence. But it's hard to believe that tens of millions of people are suffering from a mental health crisis. There are people who do, and there will be many who do, who will get our attention and thus convince us that it is more widespread than we expected, but most of the time people do it themselves. continues to live a life of
Nevertheless, any narcissistic snowflake person who dissolves into a pile of misery in a presidential election…well, they're bound to be miserable.
But another thing to keep in mind is that our great founding fathers understood people's passion for politics. We believe that everything under the sun is new and happening for the first time. it's not. This is why our Constitution includes a release valve for national elections every two years. If he wins, midterm elections for Congress will begin within days of Trump's inauguration. This gives all the pussy hat lunatics hope and something to channel their demonic energy into.
