Now, I ask you, does THIS look like a man who was “raised” in the black church? Ha ha ha. Joe Biden looks like he just walked onto the planet Mars for the first time, and is terrified beyond belief. And what’s there to be scared of? Nothing, of course. But Joe stands there, looking like riganortis has set it and he can’t move a muscle. My guess, is that the loud noises scared him. Seriously.
Anthem Memory Care had this to say about loud noises and folks with dementia:
A researcher from the University of Wisconsin, Laura Joosse, has studied the relationship between sound and behavior in individuals living with dementia. She studied decibel levels and how they can be lowered to a level that reduces anxiety.
The impact loud sounds and ambient noise is especially hard on individuals with dementia because they often can’t comprehend exactly what is bothering them. That feeling of lack of control over their environment can lead to increased anxiety.
And Scie.org takes it a step further:
Of all the senses, hearing is the one that has the most significant impact on people with dementia in terms of quality of life. This is because dementia can worsen the effects of sensory changes by altering how the person perceives external stimuli, such as noise and light. As hearing is linked to balance this also leads to a greater risk of falls either through loss of balance or through an increase in disorientation as a result of people trying to orientate themselves in an environment that is overstimulating and noisy.
We know that often people with dementia respond on a sensory level rather than intellectually, for example they will note the body language or tone of voice of staff rather than what they actually say (van Hoof et al, 2010). This sensitivity can change over time and even during the course of a day. This is because people with dementia have a reduced ability to understand their sensory environment. When this is combined with age-related deterioration in hearing, the reality is that people react to their environment rather than being supported or enabled by it.
His reaction is not normal, even if he was “uncomfortable,” he shouldn’t look paralyzed, lost, and terrified.

Maybe Joe was scared that the Holy Ghost would show up and zap him on the spot? That could have happened, I suppose.😉
