“When he does the clenched teeth and the fist pounding shtick, I don’t think it’s just performative.”
I’ve hear that insane anger comes with the territory of dementia and Alzheimer’s. Or maybe it’s Satan.
I think it comes with both dementia and demonic possession. The latter is in the end the only thing that can explain the easily observable transformation in some people when simply hearing the name ‘Trump’. The dilating pupils, the dramatic shift to a violent countenance, the raised voice, etc. I’ve seen it in more than a handful of otherwise perfectly healthy adults in the prime of life, and it’s quite unsettling.
