    If Trump gave a press conference to defend his memory and then confused Mexico and Egypt, let alone forgot the name of Hamas after using October 7th as his excuse for why the special counsel thought he was senile, liberals wouldn't shut the fuck up for years. Blue MAGA somehow manages to be more obnoxious than red to me. At least red knows who they are.

    Them being old isn’t the real problem. It’s a distraction from their horrible policies.

        I’ve been seeing posts from libertarians and CATO institute on it multiple times in the last week. It’s a distraction.

        As there are younger people in power.. and they are ghouls too, mostly.

          We'd be stupid not to jump in and dunk along with them. Yes, Biden or McConnell being old isn't the problem, if they were gone the political establishment would find young people with just about the same ideals. But even to the most grillpilled boomer that doesn't really care to admit there are huge problems with American politics, pointing out that a huge portion of American politicians are senile is enough to get people saying, "hold on, something's off." It's an important agitation tool.

            I’m not going to attack people for the wrong reason.

            Boomers are fine with nothing changing. America as far as they are concerned has been static for 2 decades.

    If you aren't going to survive a single term of your successor to the office, you shouldn't hold that office.

    These people being worried about ageism and ableism all of a sudden after partying maskless for three years straight while the disabled and immunocompromized are forever unable to safely mingle and older people just keep on dying from a preventable disease is also an angle. Because it is the same people, no doubt.

    All vibes, all optics, all big words that mean nothing.

    Max politician age should be retirement age. Retired people should have a small representative group of those who are capable. That's my opinion. Working class people don't stand a chance at getting represented otherwise.
