I know political junkies on the left that are having constant anxiety attacks every time they think about anything related to POTUS.
They believe EVERYTHING the MSM says, they don’t realize they’re basically victims of propaganda “news”. They hang on to every “revelation” when it is negative against Trump only to have their hopes devastated when the opposite turns out to be true. Their biggest fault is being naive enough to keep listening, their hate compels them to hang on for the next “scandal”.
It really reminds me of drug addicts. They’re hooked and not engaging in reason.

Crackerjack point.
I was in much the same position back when Reagan was elected. The MSM constantly drummed up accusations against him, and warned us dutifully about the horrible things he was planning to do. I believed it. I was distraught that so many people had been hoodwinked into voting for him, and wondered why they couldn't see the obvious truth that he was going to launch us into a nuclear war with the USSR. Of course, back then there was no social media--otherwise, I'm sure I would have been worked up into a frenzy much like current snowflakes are.
The bad things did not happen. The USSR fell apart. The economy boomed. I still did not like Reagan (and never will; I find his speaking style *extremely* annoying). The fact that the liberal media was so wrong opened my mind to the point that when Bill Clinton was the Democrat nominee, I swore off voting for a Democrat ever again.
What I am saying here is that some of those who are deeply affected by TDS will eventually realize that they have been worked into a tizzy over nothing, and develop a sense of wisdom as a result.
