Questioning American Politics?

Published

Did our continental plates shift? Did we just decide to become a country that establishes a selected monarchy on the will of a few? What happened to voting? What happened to our elected officials? Do they blindly follow the party? Do political parties not hold elections anymore? These questions have unfolded since President Joe Biden stepped down from the democratic election. It's up to us, the concerned American citizens, to question and demand answers about this shift in our political landscape. 
When did America become a monarchy? The " hierarchy" in the democratic party forced a democratically elected President who won the primary to step down from office. The time to decide was a year ago. However, they did nothing, and we, the people, are in a situation that we never asked. I am demanding answers. To some of these valid questions?

Oh there's so much more that just hatred to be communicated about Trump. 

First; there's the mental illness and Trump's complete absence of empathy or compassion with clearly diminished capacity for clear communication. Then there's the history of unprecedented corruption and unwillingness to follow convention or laws.  Trump's attempts to retain lost power by lying about an election and his incompetent handling of a pandemic are fun to talk about with voters.  Now we can talk about Trump having secret conversations with Putin and how Trump shipped covid tests to his buddy Vlad on the down low. 

There's so, so much to talk to people about besides "hate" when they might be considering voting for the rapist, felon and fraud who exploded our debt and deficit last time he was in office. 

First of all, you have failed to provide any evidence of your speculative "mental illness" Even left msm has dropped this narrative. Most likely to distance from their lies and propaganda of Biden as perfectly sharp and competent then their absolute betrayal of him when it became evident even their most skilled propagandist couldn't cover it up any longer. Perhaps you missed the memo. 

What will do when Trump wins. What will you do when he is no longer in politics?  He has been a huge part of your life so long. You think and talk about Trump more than Republicans do. 

And you just proved Beerman's point. LOL

Baloney.  

I provided evidence and discussion and medical opinion, you simply refuse to review or consider the evidence.  

My hope is that Trump is no longer involved in politics in November 6th. I'm doing what I can from Alaska to make that happen.

Right. Your medical opinion that you are not qualified to make. Nor is anyone who hasn't assessed a person directly. As in all medical diagnosis.

You know as well as the rest of us that the symptoms of some illnesses, like dementia, can be publicly obvious.  You also know that the symptoms of untreated mental illness can be obvious.  It's so weird that it was completely acceptable, in your mind, to suggest Biden has dementia (when he clearly doesn't) but it's somehow a bridge too far to comment on the obvious symptoms of mental and cognitive decline in Trump.  That's quite a contradiction that could be considered an example of hypocrisy.

Come on Baloney.  

Democrat propagandist media shrills and even the democrat party reconized a deficit in Bidens cognition. It's obvious to almost everyone except you. Why do you think they urged him to drop out of the race? He is clearly suffering from some type of cognitive decline although I will not definitely say he has dementia because I am unaware of any physician assessment/diagnosis. 

Your inability to either admit or see any deficit in Biden renders your speculation of Trump's alleged mental illness unreliable and not competent. Your denials comes even after the majority of Americans feel he is suffering from at least something. Hence the unlikely event of him winning another election and Harris given the unelected nomination. 

I would agree Trump has narcissist traits but an actual clinical mental illness is not likely. Mental illness doesn't magically appear depending if you are running for POTUS or not. It's usually marked by several involuntary psychiatric admissions, chronic unemployment and social issues. Many people can be treated and have successful lives but you claim his mental illness is "untreated".

Yep. They recognized that Biden was old as dirt and that was a drag on his ability to attract voters. I said he was too old in 2020. The DNC isn't a cult of personality, they recognized a weakness in their candidate and the candidate dropped out.  Biden continues to function as president. Biden remains more capable than Trump in delivering important public remarks on relevant topics, as we observe on the regular.  Biden stays on topic, talks in complete and understandable sentences and doesn't ramble into weird subject matter like Trump does.  

Yes, Trump's mental illness is likely untreated, narcissists are not known for admitting weakness or asking for help.  Untreated =/= untreatable.  No one said Trump's mental illness magically appeared.  Do you think that serial infidelity, multiple failed marriages, multiple failed businesses or no close friends could be evidence of a long term personality disorder?

Biden has declined allot since 2020. In a way that's not consistent with age related change.

Yep. That's your opinion while you cannot see the evidence of cognitive decline in Trump.

I said I see some lingual recall deficit in Trump. This has not changed drastically in the last 8 yrs and is consistent with age related change. 

Biden has remarkable change within the last 4 yrs suggesting something other than regular age related change. 

Both definitely have age related change. 

I've conceded to some mental health symptoms in Trump related to narcissism.  I agree there is age related change. 

You continue to deny anything other than age related change in Biden. Even after democrats and left media have noticed much more than you do. It was hard you you to admit or see that change in Biden. 

However, neither you nor I are qualified to diagnose either.

That's right.  You are unable to see the obvious and clear decline of Trump's cognitive and mental health, as reflected in his verbal communication skills, since 2016 or 2020. 

You are wrong. Speed of decline is not evidence of dementia it is evidence of age related decline.  The elderly often don't regain baseline after illness or injury.  You should know this from your work.  This is why decline in the elderly often looks like stairs and not a ramp in the elderly.  

When you provide me some evidence that Biden has dementia I'll agree that he has dementia.  But at this point that dementia claim has exactly the same weight as the claim that there's a Biden crime family... it's catchy and is often repeated by Trump apologists but it's fundamentally a projection of Trump's own cognitive decline and criminality.  It's a lie designed to take Trump's rapidly advancing cognitive decline out of the spotlight.  

Did you see that crazy town hall he did with Noem? Do you think he's sundowning?

I didn't say Biden had dementia definitively and my observations are observations. Your observations regarding Trump is still only observations but you declare it in a way that suggest 100% certainty.  

If you provide evidence that Trump is mentally ill/cognitive decline, beyond your grandiose speculation I'll agree. 

Age related decline is gradual and different from dementia. Dementia is clinically more rapid than age decline. Hence one being a natural change and the other a pathological change. 

However without diagnostics and assessment neither men can be diagnosed.  That being said.....

You have the inability to see the signs of decline in Biden that even the democrat party has noticed resulting in substituting a person in which was not elected for the 2024 election. 

You have no objective ability to see Bidens decline. Cool. You think he fine, I disagree. Same with Trump. 

I think we established that we will not agree.

We all read your claims about Biden.  

I don't care if you like the way I describe Trump's mental and cognitive decline.  

I'm not interested in discussing your understanding of, or confusion about either personality disorders or dementia. It's wasted time.  

Since I've clearly said that Biden shows signs of cognitive decline related to normal aging, you are simply misrepresenting my words again.  It's no accident.  That's makes you a liar because I think you are bright enough to understand my meaning when I communicate these things.
