"I believe the answer is his age. Biden’s age was his electoral weakness. It was also his superpower."
The paradox of how a weakness could be a strength is lost on most people. It might have been for me too, if not for experiencing it first hand in a 45-year career in science, where its weaknesses (falsifiability, requirement for evidence and independent validation, etc.) are its strength. In MAGA world in particular, everything is an either-or. It's either "strength" (e.g. a protected coward talking tough because he's so protected) or "weakness" (e.g. avoiding instant gratification for the long term good of one's country). So it's no surprise that MAGA world hates science, and loves feel-good evidence-free claims.
