What Kind of Society, Indeed

Listen, I know I go hard when it comes to politics, especially politics that blind us to the real issues with the endless debates, propaganda, lies, statistical manipulating, brainwashing, policy, procedure, mandating, problem/resolution circus, fact-checking, fear mongering malarky. Okay? It is just beyond unreal to me that it works. That there exists a huge population of people who believe what the talking heads say and swallow it hook, line, and sinker. Never question. Never explore ideas outside the mainstream. Are completely incapable of debate and flat refuse to even consider a possibility outside the approved rhetoric, even when presented with evidence to the contrary. I wasn’t made that way and it’s mind boggling to me.

One example is an issue that has been overlooked by every single one of us, which is a travesty and also highlights how effective the above mentioned tactics are, because they have served to take from us basic standards of humanity, care, and dignity. Let’s talk about Biden. I know he’s an easy target. It’s a fact that I don’t know of one instance in his entire political career where he didn’t appear to be a snake in the grass to me. However, it’s my understanding that exploitation of the elderly is a crime in this fine country, as is exploitation of the mentally incompetent.

The federal Elder Justice Act, enacted in 2010, defines financial exploitation of the elderly as, "the fraudulent or otherwise illegal, unauthorized, or improper act... that uses the resources of an elder for monetary or personal benefit, profit, or gain, or that results in depriving an elder the rightful access to, or use of, benefits, resources, belongings, or assets."

Can someone from Health and Human Services do a wellness check on Mr. Biden? His mental decline can not be denied, in fact, we’ve all speculated, made jokes, and basically amused ourselves at his expense, because we were so focused on the politics, but I want you to think about this. He was hidden away for much of “his” campaign. He forgets where he is, who he is talking to, who he is talking about. He confuses his words and has difficulty forming complete sentences. He can’t even follow a teleprompter. He is a classic example of elderly dementia and/or Alzheimer.
​
Yet, somebody, along with the cooperation of his loved ones, and the entire world, apparently, is propping him up, parading him through the press, and using this elderly, mentally unstable man to further their own political agenda. Using his undeniably impressive political tenure to their own advantage. That’s elderly abuse. That’s exploitation. Regardless of what you think about Biden the politician, can we, for one moment, consider Biden the elderly, dementia ridden fellow human being? Would you allow your own parent or loved one to be used in such a manner? Seriously, what kind of a society have we become? gmj~inside out
