Smells like propaganda
Very much so.
How is it propaganda, if you are not under a rock you should know this was a concern for many since the start, only Vote Blue No Matter Who people see it as a non-issue, when it comes to Biden’s mental decline.
Reporting on it is better than people sticking their head in the sand and believing everything is fine with Biden 2024.
Lmao you sure had a lot of projection in response to my three words
Ah, okay, hahaha.
I was not expecting it to be a big deal, I was quickly adding more on my views on the subject.
It is true that people will take it differently and not everyone will come eye to eye on subjects that concern politics.
Thanks for the reply, made me search and learn!
Projection is a psychological phenomenon where feelings directed towards the self are displaced towards other people. Psychoanalysts regard projection as a defence mechanism of alterity concerning “inside” content mistaken to be coming from the “outside” Other. In psychoanalytic thought, it forms the basis of empathy by projecting personal experiences to understand someone else’s subjective world. In its malignant forms, it is a defense mechanism in which the ego defends itself against disowned and highly negative parts of the self by denying their existence in themselves and attributing them to others, breeding misunderstanding and causing untold interpersonal damage. Projection incorporates blame shifting and can manifest as shame dumping. Projection has been described as an early phase of introjection. Wikipedia
He has not been mentally fit for a while, but he is still better than the alternatives. Depressing times to be in
I agree, he has not been mentally fit for a while.
I disagree on it being better than the alternative, in the end status quo will continue and civilians will keep on dying.
The Democrats made their bed…
Another stooge to block.
Not OP, but calling someone a stooge and choosing to not engage with valid criticism is kinda how we landed in here in the first place. Here’s for better times
