Any political party not seriously thinking about how to rebut such attacks is going to be at a disadvantage for a while. And likewise this is a new frontier ready to be claimed by political operatives wishing to make their bones.
- mercer 6y agoAs long as the two main political parties seem uninterested in addressing issues that have led to 1) mass indifference and non-voting or 2) protests and anger (or both), this issue is just window-dressing. I'm already imagining Pelosi passionately attacking a Trump campaign deepfake of Biden falling asleep, going full dementia, or saying something even stupider than he already has, the MSM going full tilt on the whole thing, and myself and many others I know just not caring even the slightest bit.
