Comment on Why do people give their unwaivering support to autocrats?
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 10 months agoAgreed, partisans in the US are very culty.
It’s odd to write this sentence, but it’s observably true: Both sides nominated an old man in clear, public cognitive decline in the last election. They all just ignored it and made excuses, but our eyes work, and we saw it. It’s wild that lacking a brain that works is no longer a dealbreaker for the vast majority of Americans.
Yeah, that was true for the primary nomination, but for the last election, it was “an old man in clear, public cognitive decline” versus a somewhat younger black lady who said no to two billionaires who wanted her to fire FTC Chair Lina Khan, but also spent too much time with the likes of Oprah and other boomer celebs.
America had a choice to NOT vote for a mentally failing old white guy, but did it anyway.

It’s the “Bernie is too old” during a primary just to hand it to Biden like we all are stupid for me.

No excuse has been inane enough for Democratic partisans.
