He couldn’t perform as well as he did with actual dementia…and I am not saying he performed well. Medically that’s not dementia and hard-core online politicos saying it is are just not familiar with actual medical understanding of dementia. My wife is an RN who works with actual dementia patients and so over the years I’ve learned some things about this. Your poster did not hit the nail on the head…your poster just beat a certain political drum. And everything I say here is regardless whether or not you support or will vote for Biden.
I remember you saying this before, and I have no reason to disbelieve your wife in terms of “actual dementia.” He is in cognitive decline, whatever that means. He isn’t as sharp as he used to be, and it is an issue. I don’t think it’s much of an issue, however.
I posted that because I was more interested in her diagnosis of the “presidency as an office in the empire” and in her assertion that the “imperial murder machine” will continue without skipping a beat regardless of the president than I was in her diagnosis of Biden’s condition. I was also interested in her point that liberals are straddling contradictory concepts.
This is what I would have used as a pull quote:
What this suggests is that people already kind of know on some level that the president of the United States doesn’t really run the United States, but are still mentally compartmentalized away from this reality enough to care who wins the presidential election.
