It seems the latest manifestation of liberal angst can be traced back to one unfortunate fact: the Bad Orange Man is still running riot in their utopian dreamscape. The young upper-middle-class white women, generally hailing from sanctuaries like Georgetown or Portland, appear to have been thoroughly indoctrinated into the Social Justice™ cult, leaving them in a state of existential dread whenever the name Trump is mentioned.
A teenage girl who attends a school riddled with unisex bathrooms recently took to her platform, declaring her fears about the males of her age group in a world dominated by a man she views as unspeakably monstrous. The anguish was palpable in her school hallways, where tears flowed and despair hung in the air thicker than the latest overpriced fidget toys. While the young ladies around her appeared to be grappling with the end of their world, the boys were busy navigating pixelated realms in Minecraft, blissfully unaware of the weighty issues that seemed to weigh down their female counterparts.
This liberal professor thought Kamala would win because of abortion.
She's so delusional she thought Americans would vote to kill more babies.
After Trump won, she said she the only reason she was wrong is because too many Americans hate women.
What a clown. 🤡 pic.twitter.com/XV3gD87sI4

For these liberal young women, the election has ushered in a new era of disbelief, as they lament living in a country that would so willingly elect a man accused of sexual improprieties. Apparently, for them, a figure like Trump signals the coming of an apocalypse. As they were walking around in circles of self-pity, the boys around them seemed to carry on like it was just another Wednesday, blissfully indifferent to their woes. Who would have thought that the reality of male privilege extends even to the realm of gaming?
The narrative continues with a sense of dire urgency, as the young woman expressed concern over potential restrictions on birth control and Plan B under the Trump administration, viewing it as a personal affront. It’s almost comical how those who are still too young to vote somehow consider themselves experts on the political landscape, clutching their fear of losing “rights” like a collective security blanket. She reflected on the devastation wrought by Clinton’s loss, declaring that the wind had been knocked out of her. Welcome to politics; this is what happens when one’s sense of self-worth is tied up in electoral outcomes.
Self-identifying as a member of a “sisterhood in shared suffering” seems to be the new trend. As if the burdens of modern privilege are too great to bear, these young women have embraced a narrative of victimhood that makes them feel both special and part of a grander struggle. However, it raises the question of why they are so obsessed with abortion, a seemingly narrow focus that highlights a desire to be perpetually poor-me-victims rather than addressing the plethora of actual issues facing society.
This level of emotional hyperbole can resemble a modern twist on Munchausen syndrome, whereby these young liberals might cultivate their victim identities not only as shields against real-world problems but as badges of honor in their echo chambers. Rather than confronting the market of ideas, they eagerly play the role of the oppressed, believing that such a status ensures social capital. If ever they step out of that role and relinquish their victimhood, one can only wonder how they will redefine their existence. It’s a perplexing picture that leaves the rest of the nation chuckling at the spectacle rather than engaging.
