As most of the media — and the country — is laser focused on the president’s poor debate performance, a handful of outspoken analysts have wondered: Where is the same scrutiny of Donald Trump? Kelly Rissman reports
You should look up what dementia actually entails. It’s not a joke to be thrown at people who are just simply old and can’t articulate the way they used to. Which was the case with Biden.
It’s an insult to those who suffer from the disease and belittles their struggles.
Can’t articulate the way they used to? The man lost his thought and then switched topics to say we beat medicare. He devolved into a golf pissing contest on national TV. He gave Trump unneeded openings on things like The Afghanistan Withdrawal.
He might not have dementia but don’t try and tell us he was all there, just unable to articulate properly.
My point is that dementia is a very specific disease that is debilitating and if Biden came within a golf shot of having it he never would have mounted that stage.
Honestly, Trump displays more things symptomatic of dementia than Biden does. Biden is just displaying old age. And yeah, he’s fucking old. But then, Trump is only 2 years younger than his old ass.
You seem upset about this. I am too. But getting angry at others doesn’t help. The politicians that put us in this situation like it when we’re angry with each other. It redirects our anger for them to each other.
That was not my intent. Sorry if it came off that way. Displaced anger can be curbed.
Autocratic leaders rely on displacement as a way to divide groups and redirect anger that could potentially be directed at government leadership. Helping to displace anger is cited in a 10-point checklist on how to become an authoritarian leader. A review of the history of any autocracy highlights such displacement, accompanied by fueling fear, as a core strategy for strengthening and maintaining authority.

They’re also not a President who won’t submit to a cognitive test, so spare me your outrage. Do you know that the 82 year old doesn’t have dementia?

Dementia is a continuum.
Doctors generally don’t use senility anymore. Regardless, if there’s even a chance that Biden has this condition, he shouldn’t stay in the race.
You missed the point yet again. If there was even a chance that he had dementia he wouldn’t have been on that stage you dumbass.

Take care.
Being a condescending prick doesn’t improve your position. Piss off.

Correction: pedantic condescending prick.
