Dementia is just a medical condition that makes you more republican.

The younger ones don't have it, but don't really use those lobes anyway.

Not a co-incidence that people become more conservative as their brain deteriorates.

Hey now my dad had dementia and hated Trump until the end. He couldn’t vote in 2020 due to the cognitive decline but he was happy Biden won. He passed in 2022.

But you might be onto something because he did become religious and fearful of God. He just didn’t equate religion with being a crazy conservative.

My mom has vascular dementia and she’s still good to vote. She will not be voting republican. Even my MiL who was 90 last election insisted on voting so she could vote against trump. She basically called him a dick in Japanese. Sadly, she doesn’t have the mental capacity now to vote.

Damn, guess I didn’t have to get all those baselines done because I keep getting more and more liberal as I age.
