Based on yesterday's flurry of posting, you are wasting your time here

Also, Trauma affects memory. There are studies of it.

Not everyone remembers dates like a computer.

Is someone really incompetent if they flub a name? Like people do that for any number of reasons, loving Obama did that a ton, he was way younger.

It's possible to both see Biden and Trump as too old, and also acknowledge the difference between clear dementia screeds and "guy has trauma about his son" and flubs a name.

That's why you have good staff as a President and don't solely rely on your own faculties or knowledge.

Sadly I experienced the death of a child and, while I do remember the day of her death, it’s the day you most want to forget and I would have trouble answering the question on the spot because there’s always a bit of a mental block around the whole thing. Over time, the mind actively tries to avoid what causes it pain and I have experienced the date she died creeping up on me to the point I’m surprised I didn’t think about it beforehand and prepare.

Biden is old and maybe he is slipping a little but I think trying for a gotcha moment concerning the death of his child is pretty low.

It is

I can't tell you the day my dad exactly died, it was early may.

I would have to look it up, and frankly I don't want to.

It is a low blow for that chud piece of poo poo to use a missing memory of a traumatic day to attack someone. loving scumbag

It doesn't help that dementia is one of Trump's largest fears; he had to watch Fred die of some dementia-spectrum illness and it shocked him to his core. That's at least part of the reason why he fights so hard and is hurt so personally by it.

Actually, that fear is probably justified

Dementia can be genetic, so it may be his narcissist brain can't even begin to process he may be going senile: it just can't exist in his reality.

The "Biden isn't suffering dementia because" conversation is giving a lot of cope. I don't think he has dementia but I also don't understand why the topic deserves pages of reassurance unless you're just trying to convince yourself.

Everyone knows he's obviously slowing down but that doesn't really matter because 1. The other option in the election is a fascist madman and 2. How is the country doing under this supposed dementia-brained old man? (good)

I'm honestly not trying to convince myself of anything tbh.

I personally felt the attack on Biden for not being able to remember his son's own death date was particularly cruel, based on my own personal experience with missing memories.

The bank's gimmick is that it promises to not allow the feds to get your money if you're a Jan 6th terrorist.

Yeah, but a lot of American voters are dumb and will vote for the authoritarian fascist openly threatening our way of life in order to “protect our way of life.”

Politics are about perception, and anything that reinforces “old” and “dementia” is bad for Biden because people already accused him of that before this latest report. Meanwhile, Trump gets tagged with “pro-America” and “good at business and the economy,” even though none of that is true. It doesn’t matter what the truth is if voters believe it and vote accordingly.

So yeah, there’s a lot to be nervous about.

Sure, but we can talk about it in the same way that we talk about, for example, the right wing media narrative crafting about Hillary running a demonic adrenochrome-extracting child torture dungeon under a DC pizza joint.

This particular narrative is being engaged with as if it were true and needs to be eroded, which is why it is giving a lot of cope.
