Will Trump Derangement Syndrome Outlast Trump?

Steve Sailer explores the future.
Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff have documented that America appears to be undergoing a mental health crisis dating back to about the beginning of the Great Awokening around 2013: i.e., before Trump. My guess is that the tension generated by the increasingly crazy things you are supposed to believe in order to not get canceled by the Woke is taking its toll. Trump has driven people even crazier by seeming to be immune to the requirements of polite society to be politically correct.
But is Trump really just the Emmanuel Goldstein of the Great Awokening? Will the Two-Minutes Hates be retired when Trump is no longer President?
