Progressives Have Descended Into Madness — And Are Dragging The Rest Of Us With Them

Progressives Have Descended Into Madness — And Are Dragging The Rest Of Us With Them

Demented

1 : mad, insane

2 : affected by or exhibiting cognitive dementia. Merriam-Webster

Tuesday night’s Pennsylvania Senate debate brings into sharp relief the fact that America is really, truly, genuinely, not kidding, experiencing a debate as to whether it is “ageism” or “ableism” to question the fitness for office of:

A soon-to-be octogenarian quasi-president who

• habitually walks off podiums reaching out to shake hands with the air and then wanders around confused;
• frequently interrupts himself mid-sentence when he lapses into incoherence;
• regularly utters policy statements laden with global import that must be immediately walked back by White House staff; and
• recently looked into the audience seeking a deceased politician – whose passing he was there to commemorate.

A candidate for United States Senate, the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body™, who

• this year suffered a debilitating stroke yet refuses to release his medical records;
• in rare public appearances never fails to mangle multiple words, phrases and thoughts;
• required a closed captioning device to comprehend a journalists’ interview questions; and
• who opened the debate with the, umm, unusual greeting of “Hi, goodnight, everybody,” uttered unintelligible responses throughout, and bizarrely broke into one of his opponent’s answers and his closing statement with complete non-sequiturs.
