The boy done it.
By which I mean, the neoliberal rich old white dude. The one who will be in his eighties when the next election occurs.
Now that's potentially ageist, which is problematic, no doubt, but it is true. It shouldn't be a problem. I don't really care about his age. In fact the more I hear from the strained right wing blowhards that proliferate social media the more sympathetic to said rich old white dude I become.
But honestly I can't pretend it would be better for society to have someone younger and more vital. That won't happen though, this is about the establishment. You'll never see AOC in the White house, never mind the ballot for that position, even though she would be better. If she were it would be evidence of her being co opted and possibly corrupted. It doesn't really matter who's in control, because being in control is the problem. It's always and only rich old white dudes.
Even Trump, who was most certainly a rich old white dude (if gone orange). But, like his choice of tan fakery, he is an aberration. Except not: he won on a maverick ticket, promising to drain the swamp and empower the working class. In truth he did neither, and wrapped up his empty gift in a bow of racism and self delusion (just watch his speech after experimental drugs animated his covid addled corpse). A present of hatred that will take a generation to pack. He was, and always will be a rich old white dude. He wants all the things rich old white dudes want and represents all the interests rich old white dudes have, such as tax breaks and corporate bonanzas.
Still, it's hard to argue with the intellect behind...
I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!
