I am very sympathetic to this. However, much of that hate is born of fear. When some sociopath deliberately and systematically tells old people that various "they" are coming for them, can we really blame the ones that react in terror with the hope that someone will protect them? Dementia is an excuse. It may be the only excuse. If someone isn't thinking clearly, we can't get mad at them for not thinking clearly.

Fear is not an excuse and I’m not mad at them. Actions have consequences and ignorance is no excuse for people causing harm. They no longer should be allowed to exert influence if they don’t have agency. They must be handled in a way that is beneficial to society overall, and one way is to stop making excuses for them and act to remove their destructive capabilities.
