As President Donald Trump returns to the White House, bringing renewed optimism to millions of Americans, the left has taken a decidedly different approach: therapy. Reports indicate a spike in anxiety among liberals “dreading” the Trump administration’s return, leading outlets like *Time Magazine* to publish guides for coping with what they perceive as a monumental loss.
The advice? Everything from group crying sessions to “forest bathing.” Yes, really. Psychology experts, like Emiliana Simon-Thomas from the University of California at Berkeley, have suggested acts of kindness to lift the spirits of disheartened leftists. “Helping others can forge a sense of connectedness,” Simon-Thomas explained, apparently missing the irony of preaching kindness to a political faction that spent the last four years demonizing conservatives.
For those feeling powerless on Inauguration Day, *Time* offered an unusual suggestion: exercise. “Fifteen perfect-form jumping jacks” could apparently restore a sense of control over life. While it’s unclear how that translates to coping with political reality, the advice underscores just how unmoored some have become in their opposition to Trump.
But the pièce de résistance was the recommendation for group crying. According to the report, crying in the company of others can significantly speed up emotional recovery. “If you need to shed a few tears on Inauguration Day, it’s healthy to let them out—with the support of someone who cares,” Simon-Thomas noted. One wonders if these same individuals had any empathy for the millions of conservatives who endured years of disdain under liberal leadership.
Other coping techniques included journaling, dancing, and even “forest bathing”—a trendy way of describing a walk in the woods. Therapist Anindita Bhaumik encouraged liberals to find solace in nature, reminding them of their smallness in the grand scheme of things. “Everything comes and goes, but nature is still there,” she mused, perhaps unintentionally offering the best advice yet: life goes on, even with Trump in office.
While the left cries in the forest, conservatives are celebrating the dawn of a new era. President Trump, during his inspiring inauguration speech, declared, “The golden age of America begins right now. From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.” His words resonated deeply with a nation eager to reclaim its strength, sovereignty, and sense of purpose.
Trump vowed to put America first, promising, “Our sovereignty will be reclaimed. Our safety will be restored. The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end.” His bold vision for the future included rebalancing the scales of justice and creating a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free.
“America will soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before,” Trump proclaimed. As sunlight pours over this thrilling new chapter in our nation’s history, conservatives are filled with hope and optimism. The American spirit, battered but never broken, is roaring back to life under Trump’s leadership. While the left writes in journals and sheds tears, patriots are ready to seize this moment and usher in an era of unmatched national success. The best is yet to come.
