The people who WANT that to be true, who already beLIEve it on balance, they don't care if the record is corrected or not. They are going to walk around in their alternate reality and talk about how terrible Joe Biden is and how out of control he is and how he is "diminished" and Kamala is "absent".

None of it is remotely true, but none of them remotely care. They WANT it to be true, and they have no problem with magical thinking...ergo, it is true (for them).
