    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 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.

          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.

          Take care.

              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.
