How Benjamin Ryan Ended Up In A Psych Ward On Election Night

BENJAMIN RYAN Taking a break from knocking on doors for Hillary Clinton in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, on November 5. It was such a hopeful time. I really had no idea of the horror that was in store come election night.

I found out Donald Trump had won the Electoral College while midstream in providing a urine sample for the emergency psychiatric staff of a New York City public hospital. The unlockable bathroom door in this unescapable wing was ajar, and I could hear the victorious Mike Pence’s sinister Sunday-school baritone taunting me with the truth from the hallway television.
For the preceding witching hours of election night, I had lain in a fetal position amidst a cast of anonymous men nursing their own crises, my hands clasped tightly over my ears. It wasn’t that I minded the howls of the guy nearby who was shackled to his cot and monitored by an unimpressed brood of policemen. Instead, I wanted to spare myself any word of the far greater insanity unfolding beyond the hospital walls.
Drained of tears, too tired to sleep, I stared at the fluorescent ceiling lights —which, indifferent to our suffering, remained on throughout the night — and endured the passing time by willing my thoughts to vanish into the dull glow. For a second, I imagined someone would burst in and proclaim, “It’s all right, Hillary won!” and I would bound out of bed, awoken from this nightmare.
This was all just a dream, right?
A while before, during the final hour of November 8, I had committed myself to institutional psychiatric care. A generation or two ago they would have said I was suffering a nervous breakdown: catatonic, plagued by involuntary jerking motions (my head furiously shaking “No! ”), speech patterns disjointed, weeping uncontrollably.
During the final hour of November 8, I had committed myself to institutional psychiatric care.
Terror drove me to this interrupted state. I was afraid for the nation, for the stigmatized and oppressed. I was also afraid for my own life. Because the values and principles I hold dear felt fatally incompatible with the hate and bigotry that Trumpism had come to stand for. I did not want to live in a world that would elect such a man as president.

There are no words. I never.

And she took a 100 million dollars from countries who execute gays!
We have been telling everyone these people are mentally ill for years.

My fundraising scored me the hottest ticket in town: entrance to the VIP wing of the would-be election Victory Party at the Javits Center in Manhattan. (It has a glass ceiling!) I bounded into the space at 6 o’clock in a frolic of an outfit: a red belt, white skinny jeans, and a blue Hillary-as-Rosie-the-Riveter T-shirt, my hair lavishly coiffed into a confident pompadour.

Taking bets that this guy had no father figure growing up

Pussy. Hopefully, they castrated him while he was there...just to make sure.

If this isn't some sort of parody,this is pathetic.

Kanye's family put him in a psych unit because he said he would have voted for Trump

Well he just looks like a fancy boy.

I wish there was video of him crying like a little bitch.

As I have said before being a liberal is a mental illness. I love how they melt so well

He is just slightly more insane than the rest who give government the power to maintain their lives and happiness.

Gawd and hope we never have to fight a real war.

Is anybody surprised Huffpo put a "trigger warning" before the start of this piece?

See, Dems didn't lose all white males!!
Benji is the face of the modern white-male-Dem. Benji really related to pajama boy, thought the campaign was brilliant.
Dems of old (the ones they lost): they worked over vats of molten steel with no 5-point safety harness. Pouring that molten steel from the furnace to the roller with little more than a pair of gloves and goggles.
Compare that pic of Benji to this guy:

I cannot wrap my head around this level of mental derangement. The saddest thing is this waste of protoplasm will be celebrated as a brave suffering hero by MILLIONS of like-minded defectives. Inconceivable.

What the left doesn't seem to comprehend is that you had to be truly f*cking insane to vote for or support sHitlary in the first place.
THAT, and you've had to have your head stuck so far up your a$$ for such an extended period of time that you can't distinguish reality from fantasy and illusion.

I have a feeling that no one close to him is surprised.

This is the gayest thing I've ever read
But these were my moments from the article
Oh really...do tell
Bless your heart

Although his life style wouldn't be appreciated he could live amongst "rednecks", an American Indian, a really dark skinned guy from India, and some black families right around the corner that would never harm him, protect him from harm if necessary and help him in time of crisis.

How can I be sure? There is a killary supporting gay guy about a half mile from here. I know his family well and saw him grow from childhood, even worked with him for 2 years. He has never been harassed and received the same assistance as everyone else during the recent flood.
