Although it’s true that former President Trump is 76-years-old, he appears to be a “younger” older person than most of the political elites who have been running our country into the ground for years. He’s got energy and is open to new ideas that don’t include rotary phones, turntables and jigsaw puzzles.
Gerontocracy, a form of social organization in which a group of old men or a council of elders dominates or exercises control, leads to a power lust and corruption in our government. It leads to schemes and fraud and pay-to-play operations. It leads to our elected politicians being total grifters and making decisions about our country based on how much money they can amass and not’s what best for the American population.
That doesn’t mean that younger folk like AOC, Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer and former President Barrack Obama can’t totally screw up the country as well but I don’t think many would argue that we have a problem with all of the old people that we have running the country.

Do they know how to use Google Meet? No, they hire 20 year-old staff members and interns to do their work while they sit back and reap the rewards.
