BTW, dementia isn’t funny. It is serious and that man cannot be president.
wait, who are they talking about?
Both Trump and Biden have dementia
Trump at least has plausible deniability- maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. Biden makes Trump seem like a youthful genius in comparison though.

A lot of liberals are in a weird delusional place where “actually, it’s Trump who is senile!”
I do agree on a basic human-level that we shouldn’t be mocking dementia. My grandmother had dementia for like 10 years or whatever before she died and it kinda starts out as “haha, grandma thinks it’s Friday again” or whatever and ends with “Jesus Christ, grandma shit herself again and keeps telling my aunt that grandpa should be home by now… grandpa’s been dead for 25 years. And now my aunt is having a mental breakdown after the 100th time this month having to re explain to her pissed off mom that Dad is dead.”
So, yeah, shit is really dark and sad.
But if you told me to rate Trump or Biden on “cognitively aware” scale I’d say Trump is still nearly where he was 10, 20 years ago. Obviously he has moments, we ALL have moments regardless of age, where he gaffs or forgets simple facts. Trump’s also a bit of a dumbass, so sometimes libs end up classifying him being an asshole/dumbass as him being senile. Like, no, he’s just an asshole on many topics.
You can listen to speeches or just appearances from Trump in the 2000s or 1990s and he sounds very very much the same. If you do the same for Biden… it’s extremely obvious he has less energy, his memory isn’t as good as it was, he’s constantly gaffing or fumbling his words.
And none of this stuff really means that much in a vacuum. Like someone with a stutter shouldn’t have to face discrimination as if they’re stupid because they stutter. I think we all know now days that a stutter has nothing to do with someone’s intelligence or competence. But what is a sign of cognitive decline is him stuttering like he did as a kid. It was something he sort of overcame to a large degree, and now it’s very obvious he has lapsed back into having an obvious stutter. Again, the stutter isn’t my concern. The concern is the decline, the regression and apparent inability to continue to control or overcome something that he once very clearly had overcome.
I think liberals, for ideological reasons, can’t see it’s not just mocking him, it has basis in observable reality. One of them speaks similarly to how he did in 1990, and one can’t, even when jazzed up on the Hitler speedball shots or whatever they’re shooting Biden up with.
I understand there’s legitimate concern over ageism or mocking disabilities, etc. I just think if I were to condense down the essence of “mandatory requirements for the job” of being President or a leader of anything really, I would rank cognitive ability, being fully aware of their surroundings at all times, fully capable of recalling information within reason, being able to communicate clearly. It’s just life. People can respect elders (not that Biden deserves it, speaking generally) but also simultaneously recognize there is definitely a cutoff point when grandpa needs the keys taken away. Joe’s expiration date was probably at least ten years ago…
rhetorical question, my dude
I write essays on random shit basically everyday to rant/vent
That’s why we love you ❤️
I liked your post, comrade

I swear reddit is entirely just fuckers who didn’t write fanfiction as a kid and are now desperately looking for a way to show off their creative writing skills
Now I’m imagining a gulag where liberals are forced to write SuperWhoLock fan fiction, until they learn to stop doing it about politicians
Good thing this didn’t happen
Biden voters are so annoying
What about the millions of Palestinians who are disinterested in Trump? Aren’t their opinions more important than those of some confused kid from Dearborn?
In what way is the Palestinian confused? Have you seen the pic of Trump posing with Goya beans?
