According to the New York Post, Mayor Bill de Blasio is creating a citywide safe space for New York City’s municipal workers and offering them psychotherapy sessions to deal with the results of the presidential election.

Taken literally (and we should), the mayor is telling citizens of New York City that they should indulge any potential weakness inside them that makes them believe they can’t deal with the results of American democracy when the results don’t go their way — that they’re easily injured, inherently weak and don’t have the personal fortitude to keep fighting for what they believe in.

See, there are politicians who will use any occasion to coax people into dependency on the state — whether for food, shelter, the raising of their children or hand-holding — when anything in life doesn’t go their way.

Remember, Mayor DiBlasio is offering New Yorkers therapy to cope with the results of an election.  These are the same people who battle—every day—the vagaries of living in the largest metropolitan area in the country.  These are the same people who survived 9/11.
The DiBlasio mindset is the same one that results in telling the losing team of kids that they get trophies, too. They need only to agree that they are sad and defeated and need parental figures to indulge them with unwarranted accolades.   

The mayor is suggesting to citizens of New York City that they should consider whether the democratic process has injured them to such an extent that they need to limp into therapists’ offices and, kind of, cry it out. Like coddled children. He seems to believe that he and other progressive “leaders” like him should be the only ones with personal power — the only real adults.

Isn’t that why progressives would tax citizens even more, if they could — because individuals don’t really know how to use their own money?  Isn’t that why they would disarm citizens, if he could — because Americans don’t need to be able to defend themselves and decide when it is necessary?  Isn’t that why many of them would reverse the election of Donald Trump, if they could — because they believe that Americans who voted differently than they did must not have known what they were doing?

Be weak, de Blasio and the likes of him say, and you will be embraced. You will be loved.

This undermining of human autonomy, self-confidence and self-determination in citizens of a city or a nation is the opposite of what psychiatrists like me stand for — which is self-possession. And make no mistake, it isn’t just funny and it isn’t just foolish. It is a strategic effort to erode individual well-being, individual thought, individual action and individual potential.

This nation has faced tests of its will before, in world wars — and it faces one now, in radical Islamic terrorism.  Our survival — and the survival of liberty around the globe — will depend, ultimately, on American, God-given strength.  And those who would bleed that strength from our souls, would only set the stage for other vampires, who don’t pretend they love us, to finish us off.

This guy is a real piece of work.

Dumb and Dumberer!

And to think that Bill de Blasio was the best choice of Democrats during the last NYC mayoral election.

Just like Dennis Hastert was the best choice for Speaker of the House so he can bugger House Pages in his office ... no condoms.

All the child rapists voted him the best child rapists in the crowd.

What ... they did not KNOW he was a pederast????

right ... stick with that story.

180 degrees from sick is still sick ... they are all addicts, all of them are tucked up just like their daddy before them who tucked them in the arse as a child.

the disease goes down the generations until some one wakes up and decides they don't want to rape children anymore ... or drink alcohol ... or take oxycontin .. etc.

sumbuddie wear blind sea

Actually, he was only better then Weiner. I think any of the other Democrats would have been better and definitely the Republican would have been better.

This is why most New Yorkers can't stand the guy. He has no idea what true New Yorkers are all about.

they are pretty tough folks... they live threw more on a daily basis then most, and they don't need.. or want counseling because a candidate lost.

He would be better of running for office in pansyville.

offering help is a negative thing now?

did he mandate people accept it or something?

Offering help for what?.. did they loose a loved one?.. have a deadly sickness that they are working thru?.. have a mental illness that needs care?.. Were they dealt a hurricane or some other disaster?.. Trying to get out of a abusive relationship?. Were they left homeless in the winter months?

no.. They lost a race.... their candidate lost a race.............

Time to get over it.

Or they can continue to play with the coloring books and play dough until the next race..in the meantime, let the grown ups deal with reality. :)

for whatever they need HELP with

its not for others to determine what that might be, and Id rather it be there and not needed than needed and not there

well, being a born and raised New Yorker I think I have a better understanding of the mindset of New Yorkers, then you would.

They are tough people. They don't prescribe to this " crybaby" stuff.

And he is considered a Pansy... by New Yorkers ;)..just ask some.

sorry, but that's the way it is.

you ASSUme you know the mindset of everyone that lives in your state?

interesting,,


as I said, I'm glad there is assistance for those who need it, if they need it,, in case they DONT fall into the stereotype of 'tough' new York municipal worker

Municipal workers really do need psychotherapy sessions in general... to disguise it as "to deal with election results" is brilliant!

De Blasio 2020!!!!

I can only imagine the stress of such jobs in general,,,

PMSL

no.. not state.. city.. big difference... in mindset.. big.. and its not stereotype.. its fact... known fact.. historical fact. And yes, I would know... I lived there.. I go there often.. I have family there.. generations.. I know the mindset of NYC people.

And if you need a reminder of it.. pull up any article on 911.. and you will see just how tough the everyday NYC people are.

Its not for the faint of heart... never has been..we have Seattle for that ;)

And BTW.. DeBlasio... one term...and I'll go on record right now on that one.

Or watch "gangs of New York" with Daniel Day-Lewis

Or "Midnight Cowboy", with Dustin Hoffman and John Voight.

I know the police and fire departments hate the guy.

Or Crocodile Dundee 1 & 2
