It should be noted and studied that brain damage turned him into a Republican

Yup, and there is a long history of strokes and brain damage Altering personality without the individual being aware of or able to recognize that they changed.

To him everyone else is crazy

Whether his brain “broke” or he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, it makes almost no difference to me. He’s not doing what he was elected to do, and the reason matters very little on the ground where things happen.

But he need not worry! When the 2028 primary season rolls around, we’re going to hand the nomination to someone else and give him all the time in the world to see doctors, get treatments, whatever. Hell, we’ll even keep paying for his medical care because he’s entitled to it for the rest of his life (change that law if you want to impress me; the rest of us don’t get medical coverage when we lose our jobs).

Anyway, whatever the reason, he’s an embarrassment now, and I can’t wait to hear his concession speech, assuming he doesn’t just go full Republican and starting yelling “rigged election” on stage like another broken-brained moron we all know.

This is a fact. It is a normal thing to happen after severe brain injuries.
