The freakout was over "is Biden declining" and all available evidence points to "he is old but no, he's mentally fine" and so now the freakout has moved on to the freakout being itself evidence of Biden's need to stepdown. It's entirely circular.
TBH if they've moved to a circular justification, it sounds like the pundits behind the freakout are desperate to keep it going...which may be a good sign that the freakout is peaking,
