A study published Monday in the Journal of American College Health found that a quarter of students surveyed at the Arizona State University had been so traumatized by the results of the 2016 election, “their symptoms would be deemed a medical condition, severe enough to interfere with their work, social activities, and personal relationships,” per the Daily Mail.

Yes, the sample size was small (769), and who knows if students at ASU are representative of the wider millennial population. Even so, the findings are by turns dismaying and hilarious. They suggest a subset of young Americans lead lives of such decadent comfort and boredom—lives so thoroughly cocooned from real trauma—that the outcome of a single presidential election torments them like a psychic wound.

A democratic election, in which their preferred candidate lost fair and square, is their Tet offensive, their Hamburger Hill, their Fallujah. Give it up for American college students for living down to the worst stereotypes we have of them: that they’re overly sensitive “snowflakes” and hysterical “cry-bullies,” ripe for conquest by the Russians, the Chinese, Islamists, or whatever civilizational menace you prefer.
