The Strategies of Dementia Politics: Stoke chaos, obstruct economic recovery, hide Biden until Election Day
National Review ^ | June 30, 2020 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 06/30/2020 5:23:13 AM PDT by billorites

Joe Biden is tragically suffering a mental eclipse and sliding away at a geometric rate. Understandably, his handlers have kept him out of sight. He stays off the campaign trail on the pretext of the virus and his age-related susceptibility to COVID-19 morbidity.

I say “pretext” without apology. Quarantine should not have otherwise stopped Biden over the past three months from doing daily interviews, speeches, and meetings. But each occasion, however scripted, rehearsed, and canned, would only have offered further daily proof that Biden is cognitively unable to be president or indeed to hold any office.

Often Biden cannot finish a sentence. Names are vague eddies in his mind’s river of forgetfulness. He is in a far more dire mental state than a physically failing FDR was in his 1944 campaign for a fourth term.

snip...

Given the current racial hysteria, how do Democratic handlers muzzle the not always latently bigoted Biden? Often dementia is a cruel pathway to the truth, freed from normal self-censorship, politeness, and social awareness. Meaning: What if Biden has more “you ain’t black” moments, or Corn Pop storytelling, or he mimics a black accent to riff about chains, “clean” blacks, and such? And in the present climate, will people be forgiving when he brags that his home state of Delaware was once a “slave state”? One or two such outbursts could shrink his share of the black vote to 80 percent, which would lead to losses in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Florida.

In the chaos of July, Biden’s handlers have been acclaimed geniuses for anesthetizing him. But in the different season of October, he may finally be forced out from his lockdown, in the wild manner that soon-to-be looters and arsonists at last emerged from quarantine in June — pent-up, angry, incoherent, and self-destructive.

“the pale, scaly, and frozen visage of Biden appears almost reptilian, like a lizard freezing and remaining stationary as it struggles to process signals of perceived danger.”

“His brain is like a flabby muscle, and restful disuse does not make it firmer.”

“he may finally be forced out from his lockdown, in the wild manner that soon-to-be looters and arsonists at last emerged from quarantine in June — pent-up, angry, incoherent, and self-destructive.”

VDH is Awesome!!!!

VDH is so good. If I had a talker I would have Victor on every day. He gets the first 15 minutes.

"It's very strange that the Democrats have chosen Biden for their sock puppet in this whole thing."

It is NOT at ALL strange they chose someone past his expiration date because it's an all-or-nothing gamble by the Dems to promote VP #Karamela as the bizznatch sheboon for de takeover.

Either Trump wins big and embarasses Biden-Karamela, or through ballot harvesting which is going on RIGHT NOW, the Dems flip FL and MI and PA and Karamela is President before 2022.

The #BLM is a distraction to the unconstitutional ballot harvesting. When Bebo left the race, it looked like it was because Hen O'Malley-Dillon had advised him to grab the 3rd rail and go apeshit on gun-grabbing.

What had happened was, Biden's lead campaign manager Greg Schultz approached Hen for the public purpose of vetting Beto for VP, but the trojan horse was to ask her to dump Beto and run Biden's campaign which is EXACTLY what she did (Schultz is now 'Senior Advisor' but they will discard Hen quicker than a bucket of fucking spit and make Greg CoS).

I have begged, pleaded with Stephen Miller and Tom at Judicial Watch to please take a case against ballot harvesting right now and groom it for emergency cert for fucks' sake. Don't wait until after the election, you'll get no traction.

Seems to be on frequently on the Seb Gorka show. The show is very good.

At some point the DNC will have to admit that Biden is not going to be the candidate for president. I think they must get this over with before August, or they will have torpedoed their boat for sure. The longer they wait, the more awkward and foolish they will seem.

If they just blindly, dumbly stick it out, and if he by some hideous, ridiculous turn of events is elected, then what is Biden going to do when the media descends upon him and his ill prepared flunkies, all expecting his wisdom to sweep away all vestiges of the Trump Era? Er, ... uhm.. ah... Here’s the deal... ah... er...

Biden blew the cover in stating what all these white liberals feel, which is they want black conservatives to be lynched or pay reparations to white liberal plantation owners who identify as real black victims, appropriating that.

STill crickets regarding this eggregious statement.

‘But in the different season of October, he may finally be forced out from his lockdown’

Hanson is a good writer, but he is making assumptions that Biden cannot be propped up enough to survive a debate with the wounded Donald Trump; it looks like there’s some issue with how many there will be, but if anything comes naturally to the Biden psyche, enfeebled or not, it is obfuscating his way through a debate, and emerging looking better than when he went in...

if Trump comes off surly and sarcastic to the sympathetic Biden, calling him nicknames and questioning his cognition, he will lose the debate, regardless of how much he pulverizes his opponent’s arguments...

‘what is Biden going to do when the media descends upon him’

you’re joking, right...? the media knows full well Biden is a tool, nothing but a means to an end; if the media wishes to know how to cleanse the ‘Trumpian stain’, it will have no problem doing so itself...

they will not ‘descend’ on Biden, with the long knives drawn, they will embrace him with the softest of gloved knuckles, and ease him toward the exit after a month or two...

I find Trump’s barbs to be funny.

Working in factories and garages in my youth, everybody had a nickname that would poke fun at their foibles. So maybe it comes from his construction days.

But you’re right - the press will put their sourpuss glasses on and twist everything Trump says.

Of course I am joking. My comment basically comes down to the absurdity of all of this. Nothing the Democrats have tried to do this year had come out the way they planned it, Biden’s candidacy is no exception. This is whole thing is getting out of hand. It should be very entertaining.
