The disquieting feeling of fear, horror, and loneliness that engulfs your entire body--down to your soul--when you realize that you're living in a representative-democracy where the percent of the population that is intentionally ignorant, racist, sexist, and/or bigoted has reach a critical mass.
EXAMPLE
Person 1: "Can you believe Donald Trump is president?"
Person 2: "...I just don't care anymore. After the election and the complete lack of intelligent thought from so many people, my PTSD (President-Trump Stress Disorder) has led me to realize that if it wasn't that waste-of-oxygen we would've voted in some other demagogue... Wanna get drunk?"
EXAMPLE
Person 1: "Aren't you supposed to be at work?"
Person 2: "I was going to go to work, but PTSD (President-Trump Stress Disorder) sunk in: if representative governments are only as good as the intelligence of their citizenry, then what's the point?... so I dropped acid instead.
