Yeah, I have zero patience for any of that, honestly. It’s not like young people are going to be automatically better. Plenty of people that are barely past zygotes and deep in the broligarchy, the podcasting manosphere and the trad wife bullshit…
Ironically, it was the boomers that had the constant refrain of “don’t trust anyone over 30” thing. Even in my teens, I thought this was incredibly stupid. Anyway, we now we see their entire generation smeared as reactionaries, so we see how that attitude worked out for them…and now we see this goofy refrain about forcing politicians into retirement at a certain arbitrary age. Honestly, the way to decide that is at the ballot box. If people really want someone younger, put up someone in the primary. But this dumb notion of “term limits” and ageism is so bone-headed…
