The real, justified concern regarding President Joe Biden's cognitive fitness for reelection centered around his ability to effectively perform the demanding responsibilities of the presidency, given his advanced age and observable cognitive decline. This issue was not merely about ageism or partisan attacks; it was rooted in genuine worries about the capacity of the leader of the free world to handle complex and high-stakes situations. As the president, Biden must make quick, sound decisions, communicate effectively on the global stage, and maintain the confidence of both the American public and international allies. These roles demand a level of mental acuity that have appeared in question since before the 2020 election and have only become worse, as evidenced by his recent public appearances and debate performances​.
Eric's concern regarding President Joe Biden's cognitive fitness for reelection centered around his ability to effectively perform the demanding responsibilities of the presidency, given his advanced age and observable cognitive decline. This issue did not stem from "ageism" or partisan divisions; it was rooted in legitimate fears about the capacity of the leader of the United States to handle complex and high-stakes situations. A president must make quick, sound decisions, communicate effectively on the global stage, and maintain the confidence of both the American public and international allies. These roles demand a level of mental acuity that Biden obviously lacked since before the 2020 election and only became worse since then, as evidenced by Biden's public appearances and debate performances during his 2024 Presidential campaign​.


Eric's concept of "[[Managed Reality TM|Managed Reality™️]]" and the statecraft concept of "[[Prebunked Malinformation]]" are relevant here. "Managed Reality" refers to the control and manipulation of information to shape public perception. In this case, media outlets and political allies have previously downplayed or dismissed concerns about Biden's cognitive decline to maintain a favorable narrative, essentially managing reality to align with their strategic goals​​. "Prebunked Malinformation," on the other hand, involves preemptively discrediting potentially damaging information by labeling it as false or malicious, often before it can gain traction. Those who raised concerns about Biden's fitness were frequently labeled as "alt-right", "far-right", etc., effectively prebunking their warnings, destroying their reputations, and marginalizing their viewpoints. This smearing, or "[[Image Cheapening]]" tactic discouraged open debate and critical examination of a legitimate issue, contributing to a sense of being censored and later gaslit when the media and political landscape suddenly shifted to acknowledge these concerns more seriously​.

''There is a new story that the mainstream news media “missed” the ‘2024 story of the year’: Biden’s cognitive decline.
''That is a fake story to cover the first fake story of claiming the President was fine.
''Biden’s Cognitive Health is actually a news conspiracy. It’s a fact, and a continuing ‘2020 and before story’

In essence, the mechanisms of Managed Reality and Prebunked Malinformation suppressed a critical discussion about the president's capacity to lead, potentially prioritizing political expediency over the essential duty to ensure competent and effective governance.
