Mark Halperin, the once-prominent voice at MSNBC, ABC, and Bloomberg, appears to be struggling to find his footing in the independent media landscape. It seems like his past collusion with leftist narratives hasn’t quite prepared him for the uncharted waters of honest commentary. On a recent episode of his show, Halperin invited Dr. Glenn Burnett to discuss what he sees as the psychological fallout from President Trump’s resounding victory in the 2024 election—a narrative that likely won’t do wonders for Halperin’s professional reputation.
Dr. Burnett, an internal medicine specialist from Wyoming, laid bare the shocking reality of his patients’ mental health crises following Trump’s return to the Oval Office. He compared the anxiety, depression, and turmoil his patients are dealing with to the emotional aftermath of the September 11 attacks. One must wonder how many tears are shed by those who sobbed into their lattes after the election results rolled in. Halperin couldn’t help but express his apprehension earlier about the emotional state of voters, and it turns out his fears were tragically accurate.

During his conversations with Halperin, Dr. Burnett revealed that election outcomes have become an annual excuse for family feuds. One might suggest that the holidays should come with a trigger warning, given the propensity for liberal relatives to sever ties based on differing political views. It appears that for some, the holiday spirit has transformed into a holiday spat, with families engaged in vicious arguments over a simple matter of political preference. Apparently, for Leftists, losing an election equals losing the plot—and their ability to have civil discussions with family.
The physician elaborated on the extreme measures people are taking to distance themselves from those holding different political beliefs. This is nothing new; Halperin himself experienced the wrath of a family member back in 2016 for merely sharing content critical of Hillary Clinton. It emphasizes a disturbing trend: a liberal tendency to declare emotional war on family members who dare to stray from the party line. A real-life example of political correctness gone mad, one might say.
Dr. Burnett’s descriptions of patients enduring anxiety and panic attacks bring to light serious mental health concerns, albeit with a twist. He mentioned that these patients should have sought help long ago; instead, they are engaging in high-stakes emotional damage control. As if living through what they perceived as “four lost years” under Trump wasn’t enough, they now face the even more devastating, all-consuming fear of his return. The drama has become so heightened that it might make for a bittersweet holiday movie—tragedy and comedy intertwined.
In this never-ending cycle of political angst, it’s evident that the liberal faction may need therapy more than ever. Halperin’s attempt to draw attention to the struggle of the TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) masses is amusing yet sad, demonstrating that the left’s emotional rollercoaster is not just a matter of political disagreement; it’s a bona fide crisis as families find themselves fractured over election outcomes. If this is how they respond to political loss, one can only imagine how they’ll react when the next election rolls around.
