    I think his point was more that politicians are just so used to coverups and lying that they do it even when it’s right in front of our faces. We could see for our own eyes that Biden was unfit to run, but were gaslit up until the debate when he stood down.

    And the same things are all true of Trump; we can see with our own eyes how unqualified he is, but everyone insists on pretending otherwise.

      This!

      Both of my parents have dementia. I have relatives that died after living with dementia for a while.

      Biden’s level of dementia takes 3-6 years to reach that point. There is no way people around him and higher ups in democratic party didn’t know he had dementia.

        I am deeply sorry to hear about your parents, that is a horrid disease and I hope they can be peaceful.

        There is no way people around him and higher ups in democratic party didn’t know he had dementia.

        Oh they knew, I suspect that if Biden won, the cabinet would have used the 25th Amendment and put Harris in control. Not the worst plan in the world, but a stupid one.

      Agreed. Lying is the default. No one is surprised at all if politicians lie. And theres no accountability because of it, so why not lie.
