Valtrauma bland demokrater

Hört talas om P.E.S.T? Det betyder Post Election Selection Trauma och är något som drabbat många demokrater i USA efter valet. I södra Florida samlas man nu i gruppterapi för att vädra sin frustration, vrede och skräck. En lokaltidning rapporterar (länktips OpinionJournal):

Twenty John Kerry supporters met for their first group therapy session in South Florida Thursday, screaming epithets at President Bush as they shared their emotions with licensed mental health counselors. …

”We mostly let them vent during the first session,” Gordon said. ”By the third session, we’ll be doing some meditation exercises to aid some of their symptoms. We may use visualization and some techniques designed for bipolar disease and other mental disorders. That might help them adjust to reality.” …

”These people talk about the 2000 election being stolen,” Gordon said. ”They talk about Theresa LePore and the Ohio recount. They feel it’s the ‘Right House,’ not the White House. They feel the world is not safe with George W. Bush as president. They spewed out a lot of anger. They are angry at the Democratic Party for being aimless and leaderless. They have a right to these feelings.”

Jag borde kanske inte le men detta är bara för roligt.
