What happens to a gerontocracy when leaders die off without having brought a new generation into the game?
The longer a politician remains in office, every goal other than power itself falls away, until nothing matters but maintaining that grip. The issues facing their constituencies cease to be meaningful to them. "The future? Not my problem. I won't be there."
Meanwhile, the next generation of leaders go stale waiting for an opportunity to lead that never comes. #politics #gerontocracy #age

The gerontocracy needs to end.
A racist, demented, nazi con, convicted felon and adjudicated rapist sits in the Oval Office, besmirching the Resolute Desk with his filled diapers, a heart pump keeping *it* alive, and *it* needs a WET NURSE.
Nothing about this is normal.

Those elected for office should NOT look like they need a nursing home, adult diapers and a walker, or a sarcophagus.
We MUST end the #gerontocracy and enable terms AND age limits for public office, EVERY public office.
If any idiot comes at me about "ageism" ::drooling chins:: remember, YOU already practice and support ageism, by excluding younger people from office.

Compound problems. #Broligarchy layered on #Gerontocracy with an old demented cult-mob-boss-king-wannabe-messiah crushing American democracy. USA’s last breaths? Before fracturing?

#Gerontocracy is #ageism.
Upper age and term limits for public office save lives.
The schumers and pelosis MUST go. Clinging to power is toxic greed. The out of touch mummies, thriving off of decades of lobbyists' money, suppressing progressive trends, suffocating democracy, pushing for irrelevant obsessions, instead of addressing needs of voters.
All that MUST end. Upper age limits. Term limits. NOW.

I am sure that all of the people who can't afford medical care (or can no longer afford #Obamacare because of Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy) are happy that Mitch McConnell is receiving excellent care.
