“At least he doesn’t have dementia.”
I debated whether to weigh in on this because I know it won’t convince anyone, but here goes. The “Biden has dementia” narrative doesn’t resonate with anyone who isn’t already in Trump’s corner. It will not change votes. Why?
The narrative that Biden is the only candidate with declining mental issues is solely the product of our echo chamber media. Is Biden getting old and is his mind declining? Yes. Definitely. That’s not the point.
The point is that so is Trump. The issue is that Trump voters don’t see how often he misspeaks because the right side media doesn’t cover it. Sometimes Fox will talk about it, like when he got confused and thought that Nikki Haley was Nancy Pelosi. But it happens more than that. A lot more. Pretty much after every one of his weekend rallies, the late night shows and left side media have a field day with all of Trump’s fuck ups. He slurs his words. He confuses world leaders. He gets dates wrong. He talks about when he ran against Obama. He does it louder than Biden so he doesn’t look so feeble, but it’s bad.
Have I convinced anyone? I doubt it. But we’ve got two old guys running for office, and they both are foggy in the brain. Maybe it shows up at a debate, but by then we’ll still only have a choice of these two old men.
