Political Dementia

What? He only asked for one. Some commentators think this is a sign of mental decline. I just think Trump is this stupid (“a guilty plea from the Supreme Court”?). Says the man who has probably never been to a service station in his life, and has certainly never pumped his own gas or looked for the best price. (I just paid $2.85, for premium (my car has expensive tastes). What the f*ck is he talking about?) Trump took away the benches from the sidelines? I know we wore masks during Covid. Is that what kept us from saying “Merry Christmas”? And while we’re (ostensibly) discussing politics: Let’s find out! OMG, the sky is falling! Or, the election is a year away and ATTITUDES CHANGE! Which is especially what campaigns are about, and have been since 1800 or so. In America, anyway. Anyway, I’d venture that Joe Biden has been in electoral politics longer than Will Stancil has been alive, and certainly for a greater number of days than the number of hot meals I’ve had, so: let’s not discount Joe. Remember when he wasn’t going to win the nomination? And then he was campaigning from his basement? Yeah, how’d all that work out?

Yeah. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Or media narratives. He blames those somewhere, if memory serves. Anyway, the other question is: how popular is Trump? Besides, I’m pretty sure it has to do with Biden’s age (Trump is barely younger, especially to 18-29 year olds). When I was 18 I wanted George McGovern to be President, I mean, since RFK was dead and nobody younger than McGovern survived the selection process. I was much less interested in party than individuals; or so I would have told you then, because I believed it.

Besides, I thought 18-29 yo’s were off the polling radar because they don’t answer their phones for unknown callers? Or is that the erroneous narrative?

Wait! Isn’t “social media is deeply hostile to Biden” s narrative? Or is it a meta-narrative?

I need a scorecard to know the players.
Yeah, nothing’s going to change between now and November…
