Democrats have ‘Election Loser Syndrome’

For more than three years, Democrats in Congress have sidestepped their elected duties and have instead focused on impeaching President Donald Trump. They seem to be infected with ELS, Election Loser Syndrome. With their actions they have, in essence, brewed a batch of toxic political stew to feed the voters.
The main ingredient is a radioactive, virile sense of hatred. Also added is a hypocritical sense of intolerance for differing opinions. After years admonishing people to be tolerant of differing opinions or behaviors, they readily turn around and lambaste the president's views and actions.
They support speech codes, behavior codes, and political correctness, which are all restrictions on free speech. They also offer tacit acceptance of Antifa terrorism.
Another example of hypocrisy is when they repeatedly attack the president with judgmental snarky examples of their rabid wrath like racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe etc., even though they have for years admonished the public not to judge people.
Warning: Inhalation or consumption of this product may cause nausea, headaches, itchy rashes, ulcers, indigestion, hives, mental anguish etc. Contact your doctor if these conditions persist.
