If you think Biden has "advanced dementia", clearly you have never been in a room with someone who has advanced dementia.
If Biden has dementia (and that is unclear), it is far less advanced than Trump's. Trump (in my non-professional opinion) definitely has it. And even he is not yet "advanced". But he is mistaking his rape victim for his second wife, his train of thought is all over the place, and his memory is starting to fail. Give him maybe 5 years and he won't recognize Ivanka.
"Advanced dementia" is typified by paranoia (usually that everyone is stealing your stuff), not recognizing family or friends, not remembering where you put things (which feeds into "people are stealing my stuff"), reverting to old behaviors**, etc. 1poormom was entering that stage when she stroked-out. The last time I visited her, we were there for an hour before she realized who we (1poorlady and me) were. If she had lasted maybe another year, she likely wouldn't have recognized me at all. They had to restrain her when in the hospital because she would try to get out of bed with IV still attached, and couldn't seem to understand they had a device that allowed for in-bed urination***.
Neither POTUS candidate can be said to have advanced dementia.
This isn't a joking matter. It's tragic for someone's brain to -in essence- melt away. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, even a detestable piece of human garbage like Trump. It affects everyone around them.
**1poormom started using vernacular that she likely used in the 40s and 50s that was completely inappropriate by even the 80s, much less the 21st century. I never heard her use it before, but she was using near the end.
***For men they use catheters, but for women they have this really slick device that just has to be held against the genitals by underwear, and it sucks up any liquid that is emitted.
