Trump Derangement Syndrome and covering up Biden decline

Post Reply New Topic

I know in the aftermath of the attempt on Trump’s life and the Republican Convention this is an odd time to bring this up but Biden’s cognitive issues will comeback to the fore.

It is pretty much widely understood that Democrats and the media that supports him to say the least minimized and deflected from his cognitive issues. It blowing up in their faces was inevitable and in fact was already happening. The public including most Dems were already on to him in part because most people have dealt or are dealing with elderly relatives suffering from forms of dementia.

So why did they do something that has put both their political interest and more importantly their country in danger? Why did they put themselves and us in a no win situation? I posit Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is not just thinking a 2nd Trump term will be really, really bad. It is becoming so panicked at the prospect that you make emotional and irrational decisions. With the help of the pandemic and Trump despite early indications of decline it worked in 2020. Limiting him was rational.

At the time it was widely believed he would be the boring one term President that was needed. If something happened the country would be handed off in good enough shape. In 2022 the “red wave” that was predicted did not happen. That made it easy to conclude that red media showing things like Biden shaking hands with air was Republicans taking things out of context that the country was not buying. As poll after poll showed they were buying it. As it became obvious that Biden’s “age” was a problem surely Trump’s growing legal problems would make him the greater of two evils. By March of the this year it obvious enough that all manor of Anti Trump people were panicked at the prospect of “sundowning” Biden making it through the lengthy State of The Union speech. He did very well which caused great relief and in retrospect was the worst thing to happen. Unlike the State of the Union speech with the debate there was no teleprompter and crowd(designed to hurt Trump), totally different situation, totally different result. The only conclusion I can come as to why the Biden team allowed it is that they were both full of themselves and deluded.

If it was not the debate it was going to be something else. Irrationality got them, and all the wannabe Democrat Presidents who did not challenge Biden to choose what they chose.


I need to discuss a conspiracy theory that is out there that I don’t really believe but I can’t dismiss out of hand. The Biden team knew the jig was up and put him in that situation in the hope of getting a replacement early enough to maybe salvage if not the Presidential election maybe one of the houses of congress.

What a choice.. Trump and Biden are both unfit for office in my opinion. The Dems should have sorted this out years ago.

It's one of the worst kept secrets that the liberal media has been deflecting attention away from Biden's record and mental state.

Much of this is intentional--a cynical political tactic in favor of their preferred candidate. This is done not just by the media, but by just about every establishment democrat or institution that supports them. At the same time--i think much of this is also unintentional. That is: I think many within the regime, many in the Dem party, many mainstream liberals, etc. are or were in denial about Biden's cognitive decline. They built up Biden so much in their minds, and at the same time convinced themselves Trump is an unprecedented threat to the established order. When you consider a doddering old man to be the best hope to save mainstream democracy, then you are going to be inclined to rationalize whatever you have to to continue believing what you believe about that doddering old man.
I confess I do take some Schadenfreude at the sight of these mainstream, insider know-it-alls suddenly scrambling to pull their pants back up. Scrambling to clothe the naked emperor who wandered senile into the street.
If we end up with 4 more years of Trump because those people refused to try and get Biden to move on after one term, then I'm not gonna let them live it down. These are the same people who dismiss people like Sanders or Warren as unelectable, so I don't feel too bad watching them backpedal en masse for all to see when the Democrat Savior Biden can't remember what he ate for lunch.

What about Biden Derangement Syndrome? The fact is that far more commercial media is pro-Trump. He sells. Biden is boring. Maybe the reason some think the media is anti Trump is because they keep reporting bad stuff about him. But maybe that's because that's all there is.

As for mental decline, it's the same BDS here. Biden is old. So is Trump. There's a point where they were both in high school at the same time. And qualified psychs have diagnosed Trump as being both a malignant narcissist and having dementia. I mean they do point by point analysis, looking at speech patterns, walking, etc. Just google it.

It's not just about Biden running to stop Trump, and if we replaced Biden then everything would be fine. Trump is an old, unqualified career criminal with dementia. Neither of them should be running.

We would all be much better off if both Orange Man and Stumble Bum would back out of the race and let their running-mates have a shot.

Trump and Biden represent a way of thinking that is dying out with us Boomers.  It's time a younger generation took over.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is suffered by the people who are so deranged they think Trump is some sort of Messiah.

Biden is old and starting to show his age. He's still able to speak in full sentences -- despite a lifetime impediment of having a stutter -- and make sense. He is more physically fit than most men in his age bracket. In comparison to someone only 3 years younger who has never been physically fit or capable of expressing complex ideas, and has been getting frighteningly less coherent in the past few years, Biden is clearly the better choice if you care about the future of the U.S. Our economy is thriving....despite the fact that many businesses are artificially charging more for their goods and services than they need to because their costs aren't actually higher, they just want to make more money. Hundreds of thousands of new jobs. Smart choices to support local and state governments in providing services to citizens (when Republican Governors refuse that help, that's on them, but the help is offered).

Yeah, he's not the best candidate the Democratic Party could run. No question. But in comparison to who he's running against, well, there's no comparison.

Real Republicans have come to this realization, and some of them are even arguing that voters who are members of the party need to swallow hard and vote against all Republican candidates this time, giving the party time to regroup and go back to being conservative rather than reactionary and (yes) fascist.

It's been hard to watch the party fall so hard and become so deranged. I hope it can come to its senses, but that's not going to happen between now and November.
