Steve Gunderson, a local man from Wisconsin, has recently been diagnosed with an unusual case of amnesia. A long time staple of soap operas and science fiction, amnesia is a very real, albeit rare affliction that mostly afflicts people after brain trauma. Selective amnesia, where you can remember some things, is more common than the total amnesia you often see in fiction. But what makes Steve’s selective amnesia so unusual is where the line is drawn.
Doctors say that, since the car accident, Steve Gunderson has been unable to recall any details from his personal life or non-historical events — except that “President Trump is a total shitbag.” He doesn’t know his own name or what he did for a living or even what state he lived in. But Steve Gunderson can recall at least 286 separate incidents and scandals which reinforce Steve’s view of Trump as a shitbag. Everything beyond that is hazy at best. Interestingly, Steve can remember John McCain and Hillary Clinton but only in their opposition to Trump. He can quote Trump’s nonsensical tweets about them from years back but he doesn’t know their politics or that John McCain was in Vietnam or even that Hillary Clinton was First Lady.
Whilst his doctors say Steve has spent his time in the hospital mostly angry and annoyed by non-Trump related tasks like using a remote and cutting up food, it has all been hardest on his family. Steve Gunderson Jr. expanded on his new relationship with his dad with “It been really hard. He can’t remember any of us or anything about his life. He’s a blank slate. He’s just gone. Until you bring up Trump. Then it’s like my old Dad is back again for one brief shining second. Then I realize he doesn’t remember my name.” In a follow-up email, Steve Jr recounted a story in which Stephanie, Steve’s youngest offspring, tried to relate to her amnesiac father by telling him Trump had called her to ask about him. Her father knew this was a lie immediately because Trump is too much of a shitbag to do that.
