Boomers are generally stubborn assholes, but a telltale sign of the early stages of some types of dementia is becoming completely utterly rigid in your thinking patterns. On another level of rigidness, not just the standard rigidness based on the rotten personality of a stubborn boomer. Like a magnitude worse. Completely locked in, won't tolerate hearing a word of anything to the contrary, literally starts yelling if they do hear it. And these yelling chimpouts start getting more and more frquent.
It's because the critical thinking parts of the brain start to die, so these guys (and gals) become functioning retards. There's no more flexibility, but the memory is still fairly intact, so they become like a machine. They're just coasting on memories, running on memories. They're not fully mentally present in any conversation in the traditional, respectful sense (give and take, exchanging ideas, pondering them), because they're not capable of it.
Imagine a lunch get-together of 4 boomers, 2 couples. From afar, or in a quick snapshot it looks like they're all they're chatting, catching up, sharing what new crazy things they've read about in the media or that their children or grandchildren have shown them. On the surface, nothing is wrong.
But in this case, only 3 of them are actually engaing in this way. 1 of them has this dementia, and while he/she can hear what the others are saying, still has a perfectly fine grasp on the language, and is able to respond back with their own words, there was no actual attempt to meaningfully think about and appreciate the others' words and ideas. They're not mentally capable of it any more. Every response is just regurgitating their memories or their positions based on their memories, with no give, no capacity or tolerance for any new information. It legit angers them to hear anything that doesn't fit into their now permanently fixed understanding of things, it irritates all their neurons. It's like a wrestler 'going into business for himself' - they aren't interested in a cooperative dance to tell a nice story, all they want to do is 'get their shit in' (do their signature moves) and get the pin, no interest in putting on a good match. Except the wrestler chooses to do it, the dementia boomer literally physically CAN'T NOT do it. The partner of the dementia boomer knows this and tries, successfully or unsuccessfully, to smooth the conversation out to hide this from the other boomer couple.
What happens if you're already demented, then you get dementia? I'm freaking out here.
>>510817449 (OP)So he just forgot to release the Epstein files?
Trump's Epstein chimpout reminds me of another guy who must have had significant dementia of this type before croaking last year. Dr John McDougall. Vegan doctor and vegan diet preacher, also a boomer stubborn asshole. He was an asshole even in youth and health. But the last 5-10 years of his life he jumped the shark. He went totally rigid in all his thought patterns, so much that he would lash out and chimp out and yell at other vegans when they would have him on their shows to interview, something he had never done before. Before he had only ever been rude to meat eaters. But now, eyes bulging, psychotic with anger against even his fellow vegans for daring to suggest something outside of his own framework. Incapable of processing any new information.
Like I said, I know this stubborn arrogant asshole personality is a common boomer phenomenon, so in these people it's often harder to tell when their personality ends and where the dementia begins. But Trump's Epstein chimpout is new territory even for him. He's so openly turned on his supporters, he never did that in the 10 years of his political career up until now. It's so obvious to everyone that he's covering it up, it's embarrassing, but he still won't budge. His Truth Social posts are mini essays, long unhinged rants. Before, he could keep even his cringe tweets short and sweet, but not any more. He seems to genuinely not even be capable of hearing any information that contradicts what he's convinced himself is the truth, even hearing questions about it in making him extremely angry. So to me it looks like he's crossed over from simply-bad-personality territory into literally-has-dementia territory.
No one cares memeflaggot jew
>>510817598he doesn't have the classic kind (lose your memories)
he has Behavioral-variant Frontotemporal dementia
bvFTD
you lose all mental flexibility
>>510817598That girl is too old for him.
His dad had dementia too and Trump has been sleeping 4 hours a night for years and taking speed. No surprise.
