Democrats Panic Over President Joe Biden's Health as 'Dystopian Theory' Begins to Spread: 'Nothing Else Made Sense'
Concerns are mounting over President Joe Biden's health and ability to continue his re-election bid, leading to several "dystopian theories" surrounding his nomination.
Conspiracy theorists have begun to suggest that a secretive cabal might keep Biden in power to exert influence behind the scenes.
Olivia Nuzzi of the New York Times detailed this alarming theory, shedding light on the doubts among Democrat elites regarding the 81-year-old president's declining health and his persistence in the race.
Questions have emerged within Democratic circles on both coasts about whether Biden is merely a figurehead, manipulated by a shadowy faction within the party.
Nuzzi highlighted the irony that this is the same theory espoused by many on the MAGA right, with former President Donald Trump himself previously alleging that Biden's former boss, Barack Obama, is the real power behind the White House. The reporter claimed, "Nothing else made sense. They were in full agreement."
Concerns about Biden's fitness for office have circulated since January among Democratic officials, activists, and donors, albeit in hushed tones.
The fear of jeopardizing the country's future by acknowledging the president's health issues has led to a reluctance to address the matter openly.
Close sources to Biden have disclosed instances of memory lapses and susceptibility to influence by a tight inner circle. Reports depict a president shielded by layers of bureaucracy, restricting access and fueling speculations about his well-being.
