We’re old enough to remember when PEST — Post Election/Selection Trauma — was a thing, back in 2000 when Al Gore lost to George W. Bush no matter how many times they examined those hanging chads with magnifying glasses.

Funny how conservatives seem immune to these things; John McCain lost, Mitt Romney lost, but we don’t recall therapists across the nation making up new mental disorders.

But at least one sex therapist believes that “Post-Trump Sex Disorder” is a real thing, and Salon is on it.

Has Trump wrecked our sex life? "Post-Trump Sex Disorder" is real, says sex therapist https://t.co/3PcgQuO5Xl — Salon (@Salon) February 13, 2019

Seriously? I don't like Trump. Didn't vote for him in 2016 & will be glad to see him go in 23 months, but this is just absurd. If you're so fixated on politics that it's actually affecting your sex life, analyze yourself and back away & put politics into proper perspective — Chuck Brotton (@CMB1969) February 13, 2019

It’s somewhat comforting to know that the Right completely owns the Left in absolutely every aspect of their life. Their happiness is ours to toy with. There is saccharine power in that. ?? https://t.co/tuXkCRkrKp — Splexy ? (@UhOhNoGo) February 14, 2019

That's a personal problem, not Trump's — Elise ✝️ (@Sola5Girl) February 13, 2019

Hasn't affected mine at all, but then I'm not a weirdo who would let politics interfere with any part of my personal life to begin with. — Just L (aka Belaglik von Biddy) (@JustLittleOldL) February 13, 2019

Is there ANYTHING for which you won't blame Trump? Do you EVER take responsibility for any part of your life? Mothers used to teach their kids to stop blaming other people for their kid's behavior. Please remember Mom's advice. Thanks. — Karen Kataline (@KarenKataline) February 14, 2019

If he has that much influence over your sex life, you didn't really have a sex life. — Captain Smirk (@spacemanspiff76) February 13, 2019

Trump hasn't ruined it. If people are so obsessed that they can't enjoy their loved ones, that's on them. No one else ruined anything for them — Smiling Scottergate ? (@Scottergate) February 13, 2019

If you let something like who is in the White House wreck your sex life, it probably wasn't that great to begin with. — Kyle Tittle (@Tittlewk93) February 14, 2019

LOL, y'all are such flaccid simps. — Ordy's Amish School of Coding (@OrdyPackard) February 13, 2019

I am sincerely sympathetic toward all the people suffering from this serious disorder, and I hope you… Nope, can’t do it. ??? — Elaine Batt (@elainebatt3) February 13, 2019

If all you think about when trying to have sex is Trump, your problem isn’t him, it’s YOU. — Because I Said So (@AJ_FranklinGirl) February 13, 2019

Lol exactly. Liberals have completely lost their minds. I used to say that jokingly but it's objectively true at this point. They're so obsessed w/ Trump they literally can't function. Imagine spending every day thinking about a guy that doesn't even know you exist? Truly insane — Brandon Smith (@bsmith_NYC) February 14, 2019

You're a sad human if this is the case. You may also have way bigger emotional issues. — SoCalRob ?? (@17Patriot76_) February 13, 2019

TDS is a mental disorder. Seek professional help please. — ?? Cato Sinclair??? (@Catoclysmos) February 13, 2019

Hi, do you suffer from TDS? Side effects can include erectile disfunction, rioting, screaming jags, temper tantrums, wearing female genitalia hats & or costumes, regretting you adopted your kids(yes, a woman did that). There’s hope #MAGA get yours today! ??? — CatherinNichols??‍? (@Catherine_CNA) February 14, 2019

You know what's real?

TDS is real.

And it's destroying lives & careers. I think that's swell!?

More layoff coming soon? — Jack Franklin (@ukelelejack) February 14, 2019

Imagine being so fixated on Trump it impacts your sex life. You have way more problems than a sex therapist can address. Downright pathetic. — Mr. Will (@RoscoenOtis) February 13, 2019

Hey Chauncey… Coding is in your future. — DJ (@DJNYified) February 13, 2019
