Really Think About What It Means That The United States President Has Dementia by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley)"

It is very revealing how everybody is focusing on what Bidens dementia-addled debate performance says about his ability to win re-election instead of on the fact that the current, sitting president of the United States has dementia.

If you were lucky enough to have missed the debate, Biden was so confused and zoned out that not only did CNNs audience overwhelmingly say Donald Trump won while the word "dementia" was sent trending on Twitter, but it was also uniformly acknowledged to have been a horrifying catastrophe by Democratic Party operatives and liberal media pundits, who are now widely suggesting that the president should withdraw from the race.

But the conversation has almost entirely revolved around Joe Biden as a presidential candidate, with relatively little attention going to the fact that this person is the president right now. Everyone is talking about whether Biden can assure American voters that he has what it takes to be president, and nobody seems all that concerned about the fact that he is already president and will remain so for half a year.

What this suggests is that people already kind of know on some level that the president of the United States does not really run the United States, but are still mentally compartmentalized away from this reality enough to care who wins the presidential election.

If people really believed the president runs the country, they would be freaking out that Joe Biden in his demented haze might order an attack on the Soviet Union or nuke Libya to kill Muammar Gaddafi or something.

They are not worried that this will happen because they know their government is actually being run by unelected empire managers from behind the scenes, and that Biden is just the official face on the operation.

So in order to hold their mainstream worldview together, liberals are simultaneously straddling the two completely contradictory concepts that (A) it does not matter who the president is because the country is actually run by unelected empire managers, and (B) that Bidens debate performance was very concerning because it means Trump will become president.

If they let go of (A) then they are no longer in the mainstream worldview where their country works how they were taught it works in school, and if they let go of (B) then they are no longer in the mainstream worldview where presidential elections are super duper important and all their countrys problems are the result of Americans voting incorrectly.

So they straddle them both and try not to think too hard about the obvious contradictions between them, in order to avoid the crushing cognitive dissonance they would experience if they looked at them too closely.

The entire CNN post-debate panel is talking about how incoherent Joe Biden was. And they legitimately seemed shocked. Incredible stuff. It is fascinating what it takes for liberals to catch onto something people have been talking about for 4 years now.-keyvan (still-oppressed) June 28, 2024

In reality the United States empire has marched along in all its usual depravity despite its official leader having Swiss cheese for a brain this entire time.

They got their genocide in Gaza and their world-threatening proxy war against Russia, as well as China policy that is vastly more hawkish than that of Bidens predecessors. The imperial murder machine has not skipped a beat in its nonstop campaign of steadily increasing global tyranny.

This has happened because United States presidential elections are fake and the results do not matter. It would not matter if Americans elected a labrador retriever or a bottle of Tabasco sauce; the empire would roll forward without the slightest interruption.

The wars would continue. The economic injustice would continue. The surging authoritarianism would continue. The oligarchy and corruption would continue. The ecocidal capitalism would continue. The imperialist extraction would continue.

United States elections are just a diversion to keep Americans from pushing for real change in ways that pose a meaningful challenge to power, and Americans already kind of know this.

The sooner they stop compartmentalizing away from this fact that they are already dimly aware of and face reality, the sooner they can start bringing health to both their nation and the world!
