An obvious truth hidden in plain sight is suddenly common knowledge: At 81, Joe Biden is old - and losing it. Apparently we needed an epically disastrous debate performance, an op-ed from George Clooney and Biden mixing up Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with Putin, along with referring to Donald Trump as his Vice President at the NATO summit yesterday, for permission to believe our own eyes.
Since the debate, the Overton window shifted. All of a sudden, it's okay to point out a very elderly doddering man is in charge of our country. Multiple New York Times editorials have called on Joe Biden to step down. Democratic members of Congress have demanded the same. Even George Clooney, a long-time donor and supporter of Biden, pleaded with the President to step aside in a Wednesday op-ed.
So many of us have been calling it like it is for ages - including reporters at this very paper who have been pointing out Biden's trail of gaffes for years. But, rather than engage with meaningful concerns about Biden's fitness, many on the left roundly dismissed us.
