Yes, we’ve all been there. In 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, I had to convince my father to move into assisted living. He had lost mental and physical capacity. It was a series of extraordinarily difficult conversations, but they had to be made for his own good to prevent him from harming himself.

The Democratic party is having its own series of extraordinarily difficult conversations. I am not a Democratic party member or supporter, but I sympathize with their current plight.

The reality is that President Joe Biden is a decent person who has a long and noteworthy history of service to his country but has lost mental and physical capacity. My father was only a danger to himself. Joe Biden is a danger to everyone.

Make the Election about Trump Instead of about Biden

Studying the right wing is one of my research specialties. I understand what the right wing is about. Some of the anti-Trump rhetoric is exaggerated, to be sure, but there’s no question that the forces that a Trump presidency would unleash would be very bad.
