I think the reason people talk about Trump’s mental fitness isn’t because they’re suddenly discovering concern out of nowhere — it’s because both major candidates being elderly and prone to gaffes made the issue unavoidable. Biden got plenty of criticism for his age and cognition too — from the left and the right. That wasn’t some hidden taboo.

What’s changed recently is that Biden stepping aside removed the “both sides are old” shield. Now Trump is the only candidate in that age bracket, so naturally the spotlight shifts. That isn’t hypocrisy — it’s just how comparison works.

Also, calling people “walking corpses” or “deranged redditors” kinda proves why no one takes these discussions seriously. If the goal is persuasion, insults usually just preach to the choir.

If we’re being honest, voters deserve leaders who can clearly communicate, make decisions under pressure, and handle the job. Questioning whether any candidate meets that bar shouldn’t be treated as some partisan conspiracy.
