I'm gonna need more context. Old age is something that happens to everyone if they're lucky enough to survive long enough. You'll get broad agreement on this site that the elderly should be provided for to give them a safe and dignified old age, and crucially, still be integrated into society, not isolated so they're dying of loneliness.
This does not mean that it's wrong to say that way too many of America's politicians are way too old to hold the jobs they have.
So I'm gonna need to know if you're pissed because someone said Nancy Pelosi is out to lunch and should retire, because I'm gonna stand by that statement. I'd even argue that keeping her in her position is elder abuse.
On the other hand, if you're pissed because someone said something shitty like the elderly are useless because they don't contribute to society or something, then I'm totally with you.
