the fact she was still active in politics at age 90 doesn’t sit well with me; even less that she’s not exactly a unique case. That smells strongly of “late Soviet Union” levels of political constipation.
The Soviet Union is often, even justifiably, accused of gerontocracy, but it’s got fucking nothing on the US.
Sure the average age of the politburo was old in the 70s and 80s, but every single one of those guys died younger than Biden is now. The average age of a senator is almost 70, Strom Thurnond retired at 100 years old

“70s and 80s” refers to a time period in the Soviet Union. In glorious USA, it refers to the age of its politicians.

maybe they mean our society is about to collapse and slide to the right
there’s not much room to the right to slide into
slide right off the edge
This is what you think until the republicans adopt an openly Evolaist platform, and the Democrats triangulate to a merely Mussoliniist platform.

We didnt even lose a generation in WW2, it’s just like this
Sources tell me she was extremely passive in politics. Almost like she wasn’t present at all.
