    You know, this world has always, with some exceptions (do we not have a heads of communism emoji?) been ruled by ravenous ghouls but I feel like they had more gravitas before?

Is it just the infantilization of the human race via the modern internet leaking into politics? Or maybe older figures were just as embarrassing but didn't have constant exposure like modern politicians (also due to the internet I guess)?
