And, the likely consequences are downright frightening.
===========
Let’s start with a sad personal story.
My mother had Alzheimer’s for most of the last two decades of her life. It’s a devastating disease that I’d never wish on anyone (or their families).
I distinctly remember the early-on visit to a neurologist when we suspected that she might be experiencing more than senior moments.
One of his diagnostic questions to her was “Who is the president of the United States?”
My mom admitted that she wasn’t sure and answered: “It’s either Roosevelt or Kennedy.”
Since it was the mid-1980s, the correct answer would have been: “Ronald Reagan”.
With that image indelibly planted in my brain, Joe Biden’s latest gaffe stuck a chord with me.
It wasn’t funny … it was sad … and very serious.
During a basement drop-in for his “I Will Vote” virtual concert, Biden asked:
“What kind of a country are we going to be with 4 more years of George, uh, George…”
Joe-s wife-handler can be seen mouthing under-her-breath: “Trump, Trump, Trump”
And Biden continued: “… what kind of world we will be in if Trump gets re-elected.”
