    He’s suffering from frontotemporal dementia. This is relatively certain. The town hall was classic sundown syndrome. The fundamentalists know this and are going to have him removed from office shortly after the election (if he wins). The democrats would gladly take the opportunity to remove him, as would many republicans. Unfortunately that would put Vance in the oval office which should terrify anyone who doesn’t want to larp a handmaid’s tale.

    As a European I find it utterly bewildering that people seriously consider voting for him. But alas I don’t get a say in it.

      That shit was harrowing at the retirement home I worked at. I only worked during the day, so the worst thing I saw was falls. My fiancé’s brother worked at night, though. The residents would get stir crazy at night. They’d try to “escape,” and they’d be found laying in the nearby hospital’s flower bead. This was in NON-assisted living. Trump definitely reminds me of those residents. They’d end up walking to the hospital because it was the only place they knew how to get to, but they didn’t know why they were walking there. They just wanted to escape. A lot of them expected their old house/ kid’s house.

      Damn, the behavioral variant describes him well. Impulsive, uninhibited, socially unacceptable, listless, and apathetic.

      Dude there’s a whole cottage industry here that’s dedicated to trying to understand why people vote for him, and the answers are as varied as they are stupid.
