You should have been on a college campus when Reagan was elected.
I had a Western Civ class that was 100% Reagan meltdown all the time.
It never got past Sumeria...

College professors and their minions lost a presidential election for the first time in eight years and don't know how to handle it.
On college campuses, puppies, coloring books and crying towels are all the rage as professors and students alike try to come to terms with the election results. When we go to the Modern Language Association (MLA) convention in January we will be on the lookout for thumb-sucking and security blankets.
"It's hard not to see Trump’s triumph as a repudiation of everything that universities stand for: free speech, open inquiry, inclusion, and civility; logic, reason and the relentless pursuit of truth and wisdom," NYU's Eric Klinenberg wrote in The Chronicle Review on November 25, 2016. (Actually, from what we've seen, "everything that universities stand for" is most endangered by denizens of the universities themselves: Tufts student government, for example, voted down the First Amendment.)
"Academe, as it turns out, has been a very safe space for loathing Donald Trump," Jack Stripling wrote in The Chronicle of Higher Education. But actually liking him is quite another story.
"On several college campuses, the mere appearance of Donald Trump's name written in chalk fueled unrest along racial lines," Stripling wrote in an article which appeared on November 18, 2016. Delta State University and Emory were two of these, according to Stripling.
Really, how did all of those voters who did not vote for President Obama manage to go through eight years of seeing that familiar "O" logo without flipping out? And no one even gave them a puppy!
Malcolm A. Kline is the executive director of Accuracy in Academia (AIA), a non-profit research group reporting on bias in education.
On what university campus do these things survive on? Hillsdale I'm sure and some religious universities. But there is no free speech etc on any university where PC codes, safe spaces, and delicate snowflakes are permitted, nay encouraged to thrive.
Wouldn’t that be puppy abuse those people are not safe to be around.
One positive from the election of Donald Trump, it diminishes the incidence of that previous virulent psychosis of the LEFT, Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS)! Make no mistake though, BDS will always exist for the LEFT just as Ronald Reagan hate is a given for the LEFT, a decade after his death!

TARD.
Much more succinct and appropos to the actual condition.
LMAO
Good thought but I’d use T*A*R*P
TARP—Trump Acceptance Resistance PSYCHOSIS
There really is a word TARP, but not a word TARD.
There is also a political deal called TARP.
I am really starting to like Tucker Carlson.
Yet "TARD" is actually an abbreviated colloquialism for "retard," which perfectly describes the mental defectives who think "Making America Great Again" is somehow a bad idea, or might negatively affect their pathetic, insignificant excuses for lives.
"Tarp" just doesn't have the same "gut-check" cachet. No, I'm sticking with TARD.
'Tard' is a slang abbreviation for the word, retard, which makes it a perfect acronym.
Hiding in acadamia has been a bastion for millions of Communists and their hate towards our country. What will all these thumb sucking snowflakes do when the SHTF? Time to rid the higher level "hate" providers altogether and save those who will hopefully run this country in years to come.

Curl up in a ball and die.

OMG. What an absolute twisting of truth and reality. Are they actually that non-self-aware, or are they purposeful, deliberate liars?
Universities have truly become an American disease, pockets of societal cancer.
to steal from an old Pat Buchanan speech, could it be a collective primal scream for less taxpayer funding?
