Real Biden has crashed – but Artificial Biden is just getting started

Everybody knows that Joe Biden isn’t really there. His denials of ill-health are in fact a symptom of it – he clings angrily to his delusions because that is what people do when their minds go. And since he seems so immovable, the question is whether Democrats can somehow buy into Biden’s alternate reality again in time for 2024. Can the party re-delude itself into thinking that he is somehow reversing the ageing process, even if that makes them look and sound ever more ridiculous?

What we’re seeing is the increasingly disembodied Artificial Biden who will fight the rest of this campaign

And the answer is: yes, they can! We are now moving into a new age of AB – Artificial Biden. The old RB (Real Biden) may be struggling to keep it together, yet AB came out yesterday all guns blazing. He wrote a long letter – to prove he can still communicate at length – to his fellow Democrats and called on his doubters to shut up.
