As much as I love the optimism, I dont think the old people going away is going to change much. Look at a lot of the GOP ages.

Lauren Boebert, Anna Paulina Luna and Katie Britt would all be soccer moms if they werent politicians.

And while hes gone now Madison Cawthorn is younger than me and Im not even in my mid thirties yet.

I used to think the same thing when I was a teenager in high school civics. Once all the old people pass away far right politics will die. But more and more young people have embraced hardcore conservatism and far right politics.

That doesnt mean people shouldnt fight for better and more accountable government, but the whole less old people means more leftist politics has always been a myth.

Yeah. That's one of the things I don't get. People complain about the old Republicans and say everything will get better once they're gone and it's just like... Do you SEE how fucking insane the younger Republicans are?
