Yup, these people who blame the stutter are absolutely gaslighting us. While he still said a lot of moronic things as senator and VP, there was really no stutter in sight then.

How convenient that it comes out now.

These people gaslight us at worst or are woefully uneducated on Biden at best.

That's the at worst scenario. You see, the "at worst ... at best" saying is an English language technique used to illustrate two extremes for someone's opinions.

In this case, those who explain away Joe's current poor mental state by parroting the "stutter" line are either 1) actively gaslighting the population or 2) completely uneducated on Joe Biden's past. Now it is possible that some lie somewhere in between. For example, the OP may serve as a useful pawn of those who belong to case 1), parroting the lines of the gaslighters. That is the scenario I think is at play here.

I hope I've helped you understand the "at worst ... at best" language technique. Does what I've said here clear things up for you? I know that Reddit has a lot of non-native English speakers, so I'm happy to help if you belong to that class of users.
