The Democratic Party has moved too far to the left.

It is not normal to, as President, call people losers and haters on Twitter. 
It is not normal to use Twitter to announce official political business, especially when there is often no follow up on said tweets.
It is not normal to normalize racism and sexism (whether you personally are racist or sexist is not relevant) with your outbursts at people like AOC and Ilhan Omar. 
It is not normal to blatantly lie at an unprecedented rate about simple and complicated things. 
It is not normal to condemn virtually all media simply because they are reporting things you say and do. 
It is not normal to slur, mispronounce and make up words during multiple speeches over the course of your presidency. 
It is not normal to act like a narcissist. 
It is not normal to call for the imprisonment of your political rivals when no charges have been levied against them, outside of easily debunked conspiracy theories. 
It is not normal to alter weather maps just so that you don't have to admit that you tweeted a warning to a state in error. 
It is not normal to ask other countries to investigate your political rivals, either on personal phone calls with the President of that country (like he did with Ukraine) or just during a speech or press conference (like he did with China and Russia).

It is not normal to defend these things.

So which group is the one "Suffering from a disease?"

Hmmm, yea it looks less symmetrical when you put it that way.  The thing that is frustrating about Trump supporters isn't that they don't admit he's a corrupt person, they just seem to think his particular version of corruption is essential to fixing this country.  Well, that's over-simplifying things, but it comes down to not being able to fix a problem you refuse to admit you have.

Or maybe Trump is just what we need and after his 8 years we can find someone just like him to keep us going in the right direction.
