I hope so. Biden is old, but his problems with mental acuity were dramatically exaggerated by the media and conservatives. When people asked him questions, he would actually answer them. Meanwhile republicans were “omg he doesn’t even know what room he’s in bro” and that was sort of ridiculous. But then, you have Trump seems not just loopy but insane and deranged, and unlike Biden, he’s always been an idiot. However Trump he gets a pass from these same people. The press has never paid nearly enough attention to how incoherent he is. It gets frustrating because it has to be on purpose.
Right. The “liberal media” BS has been of the Republican’s most successful tactics. Corporate media is not left-wing - it’s absurd, but that’s what conservatives push and many people fully believe it. Almost all media outlets in the US support conservatives in subtle ways, but people have been trained to think that right/centrist corporate media is rabidly biased towards the left.
Thanks to years of cutting and gutting education they’ve made a base for themselves that can’t think for themselves and just follow the orders given to them by fox “news”.
Yes, but many of the journalists are normal peopke on the left and write. If they are constantly being stifled, they should still be reporting on that or quitting. There is meant to be done integrity in the profession.
Its been gone for many years. Now its just content farms.
A lot of Biden was also focused around a brainfart he had during the debate… I just spent days at an expo, and I had plenty where I lost my chain of thought due to being tired.
And a photo where it looks like he’s speaking to nobody… But they cropped the parachuter out.
Whereas, Trump constantly makes major mistakes for things he should know. And it is in general incoherent rambling. I’m a total introvert and even I don’t fuck up the way Trump does (ie, completely mixing up people and names constantly).
It worked for GW Bush, too… come off as sorta dense and dopey, then people will act pleasantly surprised when you exceed expectations vs. be critical for falling short of them.

Of course it’s on purpose. Most of the media are owned by oligarchs that support Trump because all they care about is their next tax cut.

Manufacturing consent documented this at great length in the late 80s, and there’s absolutely no way it hasn’t gotten worse since then.

Because he’s always been an idiot he set the right expectations, let that be a lesson for any of you getting into politics
