We’re now two months, three books, and countless op-eds and cable news segments into a media-led campaign devoted to retroactively exposing the extent of President Joe Biden’s infirmity while he occupied the Oval Office. The exercise has been fruitful. Even if the overall portrait produced by these reflections isn’t surprising — most of the country suspected that Biden’s decrepitude was as bad or worse than what we all saw on camera — the extent of the cover-up has been disquieting.
We should now be embarking on the phase of this campaign that yields recommendations. How was it that Democrats deceived themselves and their co-partisans to such a degree? To what extent was Joe Biden in control of his faculties and the country, or was he compelled to outsource his constitutional duties to subordinates or perhaps mere associates? How can we as a country ensure that such a circumstance never occurs again?
