Snowflakes experiencing Trump Anxiety Disorder

In October of 2017, I wrote about an overwrought article by Andrew Sullivan about Donald Trump:

I would love to be a fly on the wall of the offices of psychiatrists in New York, San Francisco, and Washington these days to find out exactly how many Never Trumpers, even a year later, still cannot bring themselves to accept the reality that the Donald defeated Hillary and are reporting grievous psychological distress to their Duty to Warn shrinks as a result of it. "Doc, I feel like I've fallen into an abyss."

All I can say to the author is what I said to David Remnick of The New Yorker last year right after the election: Andrew, it's probably best just to end it all right now.

Now, CBS News reports:

What's been called "Trump Anxiety Disorder" has been on the rise in the months following the election, according to mental-health professionals from across the country who report unusually high levels of politics-related stress in their practices. ... Though not an official diagnosis, the symptoms include feeling a loss of control and helplessness, and fretting about what's happening in the country and spending excessive time on social media, she said.

During Obama's autocratic reign with pen and phone, the Liberals and Progressives were blithely unconcerned. But, now that Trump is using the very tools that Obama honed for him, the world is coming to an end.

Gee, I wonder why Trump's Interior Secretary wants to drain San Francisco's Hetch Hetchy Reservoir

WSJ reports:

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is interested in restoring the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite National Park to its natural state after more than 100 years of providing water to the people of San Francisco and some suburbs. ... While San Francisco officials weren’t immediately available for comment, they have steadfastly opposed the proposal in the past. City residents in 2012 voted down a measure to study the idea, with 77% voting against it.

This is the perfect issue to allow the Trump administration to illustrate the hypocrisy of Left Coast environmentalists: they are willing to inconvenience the rest of the world to save the environment, but they will fight to the death any effort to drain the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and restore the valley to it pristine state. In so doing, these so-called environmentalists defend one of the greatest environmental crimes of all time, about which John Muir himself, the patron saint of the environmental movement, wrote:

In these ravaging money-mad days monopolizing San Francisco capitalists are now doing their best to destroy the Yosemite Park, the most wonderful of all our great mountain national parks. Beginning on the Tuolumne side, they are trying with a lot of sinful ingenuity to get the Government's permission to dam and destroy the Hetch-Hetchy Valley for a reservoir, simply that comparatively private gain may be made out of universal public loss ...

The opportunity to help all those San Francisco Democrats perish of thirst, especially in the name of John Muir and environmentalism, is just too good to pass up.
