The ways Biden and Trump display being daffy:
Biden: "I was talking to Bob... I mean Bill on Wednesday. Might've... Might've been Thursday."
Trump: "Bill Bobberson, we also call him Bob Billerson, not many people know that, is a tremendous potato. The biggest potato. Yuge."

Not even a majority supported interracial marriage in the 1980s.
By the 1980s, racism wasn't gone in America, but it was finished, in the sense of broad public consensus that it was bad & should go away.
That consensus took over a century to build. Tearing it down instead of focusing on completing the job was a horrendous idea.

It will never not be weird that Biden simply lies about stuff like this constantly. Biden voted for DOMA in 1996 and was openly saying marriage should be between a man and a woman over a decade later. There’s a 2006 clip from a Meet The Press interview where he says exactly that.
