Here’s the kicker, people just elected a 78 year demented President, God save us.

And a lot of those people have no idea what they voted for. Posted this on another thread earlier, I think it's applicable here, too.

I think the media has made a massive mistake in "calling" the election for Biden so soon before the recounts and the certification. We here are political junkies, so we've seen Biden's condition day-to-day. Most Americans who pay only cursory attention to politics have only seen Joe in carefully-chosen soundbites, his sometimes weird ramblings edited out, with a tight camera on the podium, rather than showing the pathetic, tiny "crowds" in their "distancing circles."

Now, because the media has taken this step, average, not-particularly-political Americans are going to expect to see Joe probably daily. "Calling a lid" is going to be much more difficult to do. And they're going to see, many for the first time, those occasions when he's obviously impaired, both physically and mentally. If he continues the behavior he's exhibited throughout his "campaign" -- making a fast, halting speech and then abruptly leaving the podium (sometimes having to be led), taking no questions from the assembled press, spouting non sequiturs -- the millions of non-political Americans seeing this side of Joe for the first time are likely to utter a collective "W...T...F?"

The media did a pretty good job hiding his impairments during the campaign. Now that he's been thrust into the spotlight as the media-chosen President, that may not be so easy to do.

His dementia was evident last night and will get worse, much worse.

It won’t matter if they keep stealing elections. They just stole a landslide.

No one voted for Biden, they voted against Trump. Some of those are blatant Marxists and some ignorant because they have been breastfed the 'Orange Man Bad' mantra for 4+ years and are completely ignorant of the harm they have just inflicted on this nature.
