An ex-MAGA activist warns "no civic savior is coming" as Donald Trump's cognitive decline becomes undeniable

An ex-MAGA activist warns “no civic savior is coming” as Donald Trump’s cognitive decline becomes undeniable

What if Donald Trump defeats President Biden and takes control of the White House in 2025? He has already announced his plans to become the country’s first dictator, and to launch a reign of terror and revenge against his so-called enemies. As detailed in documents such as Project 2025, Agenda 47, and elsewhere, the infrastructure is being created right now to put Trump’s neofascist plans to end multiracial pluralistic democracy in effect on “day one." The so-called resistance will not have the courtesy of ramping up or mobilizing to stop Dictator Trump’s onslaught. It will be a “shock and awe” campaign visited upon the American people.

Dictator Trump’s reign of terror will be made even worse by the fact that as shown during recent speeches, interviews, and at other events he appears to be encountering severe difficulties in cognition, language, and memory.

In a series of recent conversations with me here at Salon, Dr. John Gartner, a prominent psychologist and contributor to the bestselling book “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President,” has issued this warning: “Not enough people are sounding the alarm, that based on his behavior, and in my opinion, Donald Trump is dangerously demented. In fact, we are seeing the opposite among too many in the news media, the political leaders and among the public. There is also this focus on Biden’s gaffes or other things that are well within the normal limits of aging. By comparison, Trump appears to be showing gross signs of dementia. This is a tale of two brains. Biden’s brain is aging. Trump’s brain is dementing.”

    You will choose between two senile candidates. One a psychopath wannabe dictator, the other one a genocide enabler. I am not jealous.

      Sorry to challenge your worldview, but they are both genocide enablers. Arguably one of them already directly committed one by not taking the pandemic seriously. Not all 1 mil+ covid deaths are on his hands but many, many of them are.

        I agree with you that they are both genocide enablers but calling the pandemic a genocide doesn’t quite work. It didn’t wipe an entire group of people off of the planet or out of an area. But yes, anyone who supports Israel right now is a genocide enabler, literally, and unfortunately both qualify, and so does almost all of congress.

        If the system only gives you genocide enablers as an option it’s time to stop believing in that system.

          calling the pandemic a genocide doesn’t quite work.

          Thank you for saying this. Yes. It was a mass casualty event perpetrated by willful incompetence of the highest degree, but it was an indiscriminate killer, not a targeted attack on a certain subset of human beings.

          I notice people, especially fellow left-leaners, throwing the term “genocide” around like it just means “kills a bunch of people in some country or something.” It’s a strongly-worded appeal to emotion, and the heinousness of such a crime loses its meaning when it isn’t specific.

          By all means lets accuse these politicians of the crimes they commit, but we lose credibility when we ignore literacy in exchange for drumming up fervor.

        Why should this challenge my worldview? I literally called him a psychopath. I just despice both of them.

          “One of them is a genocide enabler”. The wording of A is this, B is that, asserts contrast and not a shared characteristic. Just a friendly reminder that both of them are genocide enablers.

            Trump didn’t have the chance yet. But yes, I agree that he is an aspiring genocide enabler. Doesn’t change my views about Biden, though.

            Sorry, you didn’t shatter any worldviews today, but we had a nice chatter about semantics.

              Israel has been plotting genocide for quite a while and anyone who has kept a bead on Israel knows that. If you supported them even before the immediately recent actions you are still a genocide enabler. So it’s still both.

            Trump does look like a well spiced bird that’s been under a heat lamp for about 40 years.

            Biden looks like a bland bird that’s been left to boil in a pot for 10.
