While for many it’s obvious how serious Trump’s declining mental capacity has become, for too many Americans that reality has not yet broken through. The media continues to treat Trump like a normal candidate; many Americans have baked Trump’s bizarre behavior into their perceptions of him; and many take right-wing lies about Joe Biden’s mental fitness at face value.
Given this, we wanted to hear from John Gartner, founder of Duty To Warn, a group of mental health professionals who have been raising the alarm about Trump’s increasingly sociopathic behavior since 2017. Now in 2024, Gartner has an even more dire warning about Trump: that there are increasing signs the former president is heading fast down the road toward dementia.
Anyone who thinks the red team is more pro-palestine than the blue team just hasn’t paid any attention to us politics before. The red team is inherently anti-darkskin, especially when they are going up against “god’s chosen ones.”
It is absolutely perfectly reasonable to complain that there are no options that are likely to not have dementia. That’s a valid complaint that rational people can make. I always just assume that people who get so upset about that complaint have just been scared and pressured out of being able to share honest observations because they think it means they are some sort of traitor. Instead, they put on performance about how delicious the taste of puke-on-rye is.
