    So, this is terrifying to think about. Because honestly, I think they’re too incompetent to keep stuff hidden. And he’s generally not interested in secret stuff. He wants to be a loud dictator where people don’t question him, rather than getting away with something he shouldn’t do. In his mind, there’s nothing he shouldn’t do.

    But we know that if something happens off camera, people generally don’t care. So what happens when the next person takes advantage of that apathy.

    I won’t forget the 24 hours after when all I saw were people celebrating his murder and people literally trying to convince Republicans to start murdering Democrats. Then they realized they could get people fired for showing the wrong emotion and all the murder talk simmered down.

    Now, his old age means a mentality decline, absolutely. Pretending it was 100% mental decline is just as false as saying he has had no mental decline at all. We will never know how much each piece contributed to what we saw.

    So show some grace and don’t assume you know all the answers.
