He’s 64
everyone who says politicians are too old need to remember how many shitty right wing 30 year olds there are.
Yeah like both Trump and Biden won in big competitive primaries with a lot of candidates younger than them. I think part of the reason we have so many old politicians is that young candidates feel more like positively asserting the future of their party, and nobody really likes the futures they’re asserting. Without that vision, the status quo wins out by default.
What a weird take
I would gladly embrace shitty young ones over old ones. At least the younger ones are thinking about the future.
Or, and hear me out: a non-shitty one.
Really? You’d rather have, say, Steven Miller than Trump?
But Trump gives me Steven Miller. Whereas on the other hand I don’t think Steven Miller comes with Trump attached. Nor is he capable of actually winning anything.
It’s not like Trump is some mastermind coming up with all these ideas on his own, and Miller isn’t likable enough to get elected.
yeah thinking about a white future that genocides marginalised ppl
And then came along who would become the oldest, worst president in history
Worst president is a stretch
We’ve had some really bad presidents
Who would you say was worse and why?
Bush junior, but it’s getting close. Also possibly Coolidge for causing the Great Depression.
And his time in office ended about 9 years ago, so 55 at the time.
That’s like 4 people.
Five.
Six if Jimmy Carter is somehow still alive. I know he was 4 years ago.
He died in 2024.
I honestly think seeing Trump win killed him. His wife dying probably played a larger role, but I don’t think seeing the country go down the toilet did nothing to him, and the election was the killing blow. The cancer was irrelevant, he already survived that like three times.
He also wasn’t a spring chicken
People don’t live forever
I still hate how most of the country capitulated the orange menace and raised the flags for his inauguration.
So?
Friend, it’s a shower thought. Not a deep philosophical discussion.
Shower is the perfect place to think about deep philosophical topics
