Friendly reminder that Ronald Reagan was called senile so often it became a running gag on SNL and the late night shows. He then won 49 of 50 states in the 1984 election.

Election map 1984. All states red except Minnesota
110

It does make Minnesota look pretty good.

Minnesota: the last bastion of political sanity.

I’m trying real hard to not make plans to panic move to Minnesota but apparently they were the only ones who knew what was up.

Reminder that the collective hive mind we call society is NOT, in the slightest, like it was back in 1984. We've become dumber, and I'm fucking terrified of what's to come. (I might be a bit of a catastrophist, though...)

I thought I was the only one that remembered this. Mondale was thought to have roundly won the first debate where Ron looked old and confused. [AR narrator:] Walter was unable to capitialize on this advantage.

Totally wrong analogy. Dem challenger in 1980 was weak, far too liberal for the country, and ran a very poor campaign. Reagan was over a decade younger than Biden and very well liked by the right and center

Is there video footage of his brain failing on the debate stage?

Yes. But unfortunately this works if you are senile AND a piece of shit.
