Battered Republican Syndrome, by Art Smukler, MD, author and psychiatrist

Ever hear of battered Republican syndrome?

Probably not, because I just thought of it after reading how Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said that she could never support Trump and how sorry she is that her party supports him.

All of the Republicans in congress, except the seven who voted to impeach Trump, are his frightened slaves. Doesn’t it resemble what it must be like for a battered wife who refuses to call the authorities even after her sadistic, power hungry husband beats the hell out of her for the tenth time? Maybe, a small maybe at that, can turn her around after the bully beats up her kids.

Well, let’s think about it. Isn’t the batterer, Trump in this case, encouraging his followers to disparage war heroes, make fun of the impaired, laugh at stutterers, lie, not pay bills, abuse women sexually, and do all the things that you’ve taught your children not to do.

He’s not only attacking your values and your children’s values but threatening to imprison anyone who disagrees with him.

Or maybe Trump’s values are your values?

If so, then you’re probably not even reading this.

Happy Reading,
