Here's What a Yale Psychiatrist Told Students In Distress From Trump's Win

A Yale psychiatrist is urging distraunt students to cut-off family members and friends who voted for President-elect Donald Trump to avoid having to speak to them during the upcoming holiday season. 

As the fallout from Trump’s sweeping victory continues, Yale University child psychiatry fellow Dr. Amanda Calhoun told MSNBC host joy Reid that it was normal to shun Trump-supporting close relatives and longtime friends. She pointed to the LGBTQ community and other “minority” groups  who, she suggested, is a prime target for the incoming administration. 

“So, if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you… it’s completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why,” she said. ““There is a societal push that, if somebody is your family, they are entitled to your time. And I think the answer is absolutely not.” 

Calhoun said that anti-Trumpers need to tell family members that they have an issue with the way they voted, claiming that Trump supporters are going against people’s livelihoods. She added that it was fair for them to disown their family and friends this holiday. 

If you take a gander at social media, you’ll quickly find liberals having meltdowns over Trump’s election win. 

Several woke universities, such as Georgetown and Harvard, canceled classes so that students could have a “mental health day.” Others offered them a place they can go to color and play with legos to process the election results. 

Reid then asked how students should interact with people who voted for Trump. 

“If you are an LGBTQ person and you know someone in your family voted essentially against your rights, or you’re a woman knowing, you know, that this man was calling people the b word. JD Vance was literally calling Kamala Harris ‘the trash.’ He said, ‘We’re going to take out the trash.’ I know a lot of Black women were incredibly triggered by that,” she responded.
