Manlet Deals With STAGE TEN Trump Derangement Syndrome By Closing Off The World Entirely…

Trump Derangement Syndrome manifests itself in many different ways… each as pathetic as the next.

Some symptoms may include screaming, crying, rock throwing, lighting public property on fire, and the inability to differentiate human Americans from Russian “bots.”

This man’s symptoms have taken a completely different turn…

He has ENTIRELY closed himself off from any and all news. He knows NOTHING (John Snow.)

As reported by the New York Times:

At first, the experiment didn’t have a name.

Right after the election, Erik Hagerman decided he’d take a break from reading about the hoopla of politics.

Donald Trump’s victory shook him. Badly. And so Mr. Hagerman developed his own eccentric experiment, one that was part silent protest, part coping mechanism, part extreme self-care plan.

He swore that he would avoid learning about anything that happened to America after Nov. 8, 2016.

It SHOOK him, folks. He was SHOOK.

“It was draconian and complete,” he said. “It’s not like I wanted to just steer away from Trump or shift the conversation. It was like I was a vampire and any photon of Trump would turn me to dust.”

If you didn’t realize what we were dealing with here…. now you do.

We’re dealing with an anti-Trump vampire.

It was just going to be for a few days. But he is now more than a year into knowing almost nothing about American politics. He has managed to become shockingly uninformed during one of the most eventful chapters in modern American history. He is as ignorant as a contemporary citizen could ever hope to be.

James Comey. Russia. Robert Mueller. Las Vegas. The travel ban. “Alternative facts.” Pussy hats. Scaramucci. Parkland. Big nuclear buttons. Roy Moore.

He knows none of it. To Mr. Hagerman, life is a spoiler.

“I just look at the weather,” said Mr. Hagerman, 53, who lives alone on a pig farm in southeastern Ohio. “But it’s only so diverting.”

He says he has gotten used to a feeling that he hasn’t experienced in a long time. “I am bored,” he said. “But it’s not bugging me.”

I hope this moron isn’t planning on voting….

I mean… he literally knows NOTHING.  Think about that… he has NO IDEA what his own party has said or done for the past year and a half…

It takes meticulous planning to find boredom. Mr. Hagerman commits as hard as a method actor, and his self-imposed regimen — white-noise tapes at the coffee shop, awkward scolding of friends, a ban on social media — has reshaped much of his life.

Extreme as it is, it’s a path that likely holds some appeal for liberals these days — a D.I.Y. version of moving to Canada.

Canada still has news, sooooo. No.

Also… Moving to Canada is also “DIY.” You move to Canada yourself. No one does that for you. So that was stupid, NYT.

Democrats, liberals and leftists have coped with this first year of the Trump presidency in lots of ways. Some subsist on the thin gruel of political cartoon shows and online impeachment petitions. Others dwell online in the thrilling place where conspiracy is indistinguishable from truth. Others have been inspired to action, making their first run for public office, taking local action or marching in their first protest rally.

Mr. Hagerman has done the opposite of all of them.

The fact that it’s working for him — “I’m emotionally healthier than I’ve ever felt,” he said — has made him question the very value of being fed each day by the media. Why do we bother tracking faraway political developments and distant campaign speeches? What good comes of it? Why do we read all these tweets anyway?

“I had been paying attention to the news for decades,” Mr. Hagerman said. “And I never did anything with it.”

That’s your problem. I paid attention to the news and decided to become a Conservative writer and get my voice out there. You can do whatever you want.

At some point last year, he decided his experiment needed a name. He considered The Embargo, but it sounded too temporary. The Boycott? It came off a little whiny.

Mr. Hagerman has created a fortress around himself. “Tiny little boats of information can be dangerous,” he said.

He decided that it would be called The Blockade.

And it only gets more pathetic from there…. you can read more details on this so-called “blockade” here.

Again. I sure hope this man isn’t planning on voting…. Where does he get off thinking he has any say? He KNOWS NOTHING.
