As Democrats are still reeling from their incredible defeat in the 2024 presidential election, Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland has hired shrinks to try and set things right.
According to Punchbowl News, Raskin hosted a retreat for Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee where they hosted Jim Coan, a University of Virginia professor of psychology.
Another speaker was Hal Movius, a consultant whose specializations include “negotiation,” “influence,” “emotion regulation,” “leadership” and “organizational development.”
The report states:
The purpose of the session, according to multiple attendees, was to counsel Democrats about how to approach conflict and effectively combat what Raskin described as “authoritarian styles of speech.”
Another attendee said Judiciary Democrats were also advised to avoid devolving into partisan mud-slinging — a more common hallmark of the House Oversight Committee, which Raskin previously led as the top Democrat.
“They’re social psychologists, and they were just talking about communication and authoritarian styles of speech in the Trump age,” Raskin told us when asked about the speakers.
“We were talking about basically communication styles during the Trump era.”
Raskin, a former constitutional law professor, hosted the summit weeks after he was chosen as the top Democrat serving on the House Judiciary Committee.
The committee, which is chaired by MAGA Republican Jim Jordan, has led multiple investigations into Democratic crimes and corruption, including the Biden family’s corrupt business dealings, the weaponization of federal agencies for political purposes and a re-examination of the January 6th protests.
Raskin, meanwhile, has a reputation as one of the most unhinged Democrats in Congress.
Back in October, weeks before the election even took place, Raskin said he would not commit to certifying the 2024 election in the event of a Trump victory.
Months before that, he also pledged to block Trump’s victory using the 14th Amendment and create “civil war conditions” to prevent him from taking office.

Sadly for Raskin, Donald Trump’s victory was so overwhelming that these grandiose ambitions never came to pass.
