Far-Right Medical Condition Prevents Trump Supporters From Recognising Country They Live In

Scientists are puzzled by the growing number of cases of a psychosomatic disorder which sufferers claim, prevents them from recognising the country they live in while still allowing them to remain absolutely certain it is not the one they grew up in.

“Typically,” a scientist said, “they are Trump supporters, mostly elderly males who complain of an acute sense of disorientation. They always seem to be imagining themselves in a closeup, as they proudly gaze at some distant horizon with an expression that ranges from vaguely wounded to profoundly betrayed. Essentially, it’s the old Walter Sobchak refrain, ‘This isn’t the country I died for, face down in the mud of Vietnam’!”

“Another common symptom is an enormous sense of grievance? As if they’ve personally suffered more than a 9/11 survivor. And of course, underneath their Maga hats, they are quivering with outrage at a list of largely imaginary complaints.”

Asked for examples, she replied, “the deeply held belief that ‘woke’ sailors are writing poems on the sides of the warships they serve on, is a common one? Despite the fact that even conservative news outlets, have been unable to find any proof this ever happened.”

The spokesman for the prestigious Mayo Clinic said it strongly recommended sufferers avail themselves of the “oldest known folk remedy for this condition? A very large bowl of prunes”.
