MODERATORS
Is literally older than the internet.
first as a joke, then as a tragedy; perhaps all jokes are warnings whose time has not yet come
An allegory to people being forced to work way past retirement age because of the economic system going bonkers and its consequences.

GERIATRIC DYSFUNCTION
Age-related decline is the kind of fact that Democrats with their individual rights-based mindset struggle to approach honestly and openly, and the consequences for our Federal Government have become catastrophic.
WHO WERE THEY?
John Roberts, whose lack of object permanence about Trump mean that he's once again chiding Trump in some boomer delusion that Trump is capable of listening or caring. John Roberts was instructed by the Constitution to provide Justice: instead he provided an abstract theory of justice and then lived in the dysfunctional delusional boomer narrative. His cowardice is indistinguishable from age-related decline.
Schumer is old and reacting with the sclerotic confusion of the old.
When facts stopped mattering to the geriatric masses, the only cure is the removal of the geriatrics from politics: no legislator, executive, or judge over 65 is fit to hold that position. This is a matter of basic competence.
BUT MUH INDIVIDUAL CAPABILITIES
No.
An individual under 35 might have the capability to be President, but Ageism is good actually.
Every individual who dies in office immediately shits and leaves a stain on Congress as a final act. There is no need to deal with the faulty geriatric bodies, let alone the minds which have failed to even comprehend the destructive disease of Trump and Trumpism.
As in Schumer clearly doesn't understand what timeline he is living in. None of the geriatric democrats do.
Mystery: Gen X
So, the theory goes, why does Gen X support them in their dysfunctional, selfish ambition?
A: They are deluded by their proximity to age-related decline. The Gen X political operatives of the Democrat Party have a motive to support the Boomer Delusion of Age-related Wisdom even as that "wisdom" involves the federal government which is supposed to represent The People in an undeclared war, with another geriatric head of state, in a total usurpation of the enumerated power of Congress.
It is ridiculous that we are having to debate the nature of age-related decline. Trump, Trumpism is a catastrophe.
Never before
Has a full cohort, a baby boom, survived for so long into geriatric decline. The effects of this mass geriatric decline on our politics are the primary failure to contain the obvious fascist criminal Trump. Republicans are racist, sexist, lawless fascists, but the Democrat response has been sclerotic to an absurd, bizarre, and then perpetually horrifying degree.
The good news is that it is simple to solve this problem, that problem being age-related decline in the people whose delusional, grandiose belief in their continued competence is a despised frailty.
I think about how George Washington was 65 when he retired. I wonder if he'd have been able to if he had been even two years older. John Roberts was 67 when he literally lost his faculty of observation, in the sense that he was not oriented to the person of Trump and what Trump had done and the threat to the future of the country which Trump represented.
Washington was capable of understanding that his time should be up. These geriatrics are not. They must be forced to understand that their time is up.
They must be forced to resign.
Everytime people start talking about age extension, I'm reminded of the old geezers we have now staying in power for another century and how bad that would be for us.
