Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder with which many are familiar:
Tourette syndrome (TS or simply Tourette’s) is a common neuropsychiatric disorder with onset in childhood,[4]characterized by multiple motor tics and at least one vocal (phonic) tic.
It has several subsets. The one that affects liberals – Tourette Liberalis- includes something known as coprolalia, which is defined as “the utterance of obscene words or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks.” Although this subset is generally regarded as small, it affects many, if not most, liberals.
There are certain trigger words that cause liberals to blurt out those inappropriate and derogatory remarks. The word that most commonly elicits completely irrational responses is “Trump.” There are two divisions to the Liberal tic.
The first: say “Trump” to a liberal and he or she is likely to scream “Hitler!”
Patrice Cullors, one of the founder of Black Live Matter, suffers from Liberal Tourette’s.
“We wouldn’t as a movement take a seat at the table with Trump because we wouldn’t have done that with Hitler. Trump is literally the epitome of evil, all the evils of this country, be it racism, capitalism, sexism, homophobia and he has set out the most dangerous policies not just that impacts this country but that impacts the globe,” Patrisse Cullors, one of BLM’s three co-founders, told the Los Angeles Times in a Friday interview.

It affects educators in California:
A classroom conversation about President Donald Trump’s inauguration took a very ugly turn when a California high school teacher drew a caricature of the president as Adolf Hitler.
It happened Friday when an English teacher at Verdugo Hills High School drew a Hitler mustache on President Trump’s face.
Kira Goldenberg of The Guardian is a sufferer:
People aren’t wrong to point out that Trump certainly appears similar to Hitler in some ways. The rhetoric used by the Republican smacks of fascism, with healthy doses of isolationism and grandiosity. Trump’s rallies, which pen the media like livestock and brook no dissent, evoke less orderly Third Reich affairs. And his sloganeering, with its nostalgia for an idyllic past that never existed, fabricates a history that excludes the majority of actual people in actual America, with disconcerting echoes of an Aryan ideal. Even the substance of Trump’s speeches is as inscrutable as watching Hitler’s manic lectern screeching – and I actually speak English.
Never mind that Trump’s daughter and son-in-law are Jewish.
The media suffers broadly from the disorder. You can see several examples here.
It will surprise no one to learn that HuffPoo has an fulminant version of the affliction:
Hitler embraced the notion of white supremacy and racism. He perfected the concept of social engineering which culminated in millions of Jews being slaughtered stemming from his demented belief in a so-called master race.
The societal seeds of white supremacy and racism utilized by Hitler have been reinvigorated by President Trump during his brief tenure as president. He has stoked the racial coals in creating a climate of hate that is so severe that war, here and abroad, is inevitable once those seeds come full bloom.
Secondly, if they don’t blurt out “Hitler!” in response to the word “Trump” the other outburst will consist of “racist!” This one affects most liberals.
Brian Karem, who purports to call himself a reporter, suffers from the “racist” variant of Liberal Tourette’s.
Ruben Gallego is a fellow sufferer:
Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) says that President Trump is a an “abject liar” and “clearly racist.”
So is Dana Milbank:
Let’s not mince words: Donald Trump is a bigot and a racist.
Some will think this an outrageous label to apply to the frontrunner for a major party’s presidential nomination. Ordinarily, I would agree that name-calling is part of what’s wrong with our politics.
Vox– natch.
DeNiro and most of Hollywood.
The original Hollywood Blacklist of the 1950s was at least open and honest. There was a list, you were named, and you were informed. As immoral and indefensible as it was, those who were blacklisted at least knew where they stood.
Today’s Hollywood Blacklist is quite different. Yes, your career is still threatened, but no one has the moral courage to come right out and say so. Instead, the phone stops ringing as often or altogether. Meanwhile, you will find yourself publicly attacked as a racist by corporate fascists like The Hollywood Reporter, or publicly smeared and ridiculed by A-list directors like Joss Whedon.
The most deafening silence, though, comes in the form of no one coming to your defense. None of your fellow performers rush forward to defend your right to your beliefs, there are no Variety/Hollywood Reporter/Deadline/Wrap editorials expressing outrage over this return to the bad old days of McCarthyism.
And, of course, Nancy Pelosi.
Remember, this is a neurological disorder. They can’t help themselves and there is no effective treatment.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
