Once it’s understood that geriatric politicians are a disease, the only thing that matters is removing geriatric politicians, regardless of party.

John Roberts was 67 when his geriatric lapse rendered the 2024 election illegitimate and fraudulent.

79% of Americans want age caps.

Pilots are retired at 65 years old.

The unfolding geriatric catastrophe of the White House is enabled by Democratic Party failure to press the issue of age. Geriatrics with a stranglehold on party politics damned us to continued geriatric incompetence.

It follows that the only path to restoring the constitutional order is the immediate removal of all geriatric politicians at every level. Federal, State, Judiciary, Legislative, Executive. 100% gone.

It’s not difficult: “respect for elders” shouldn’t be a suicide pact.

I suspect that this is a person who believes Trump is rude, racist, violent, a threat to Democracy, but that they might linger against calling it nazi-style fascism for technical reasons they think they understand; then they encounter the fascism-shaped hole in discourse and go “why is it this way?”

but it’s literally fascism. like the inability to refer to the fascism as fascism is what Rowling the transphobe was writing about?

first as a joke, then as a tragedy; perhaps all jokes are warnings whose time has not yet come

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.

If you use DNS at all, do you even own your street address!?!?

bluesky has the advantage of being an active leftist contingent, and the disadvantage of being an active leftist contingent

do you feel better having ranted to no one affecting nothing

It’s a imperial republic that people like you think is some shining city on a hill.

pointing out that abolitionists fought the civil war and won isn’t gazing at “some shining city on a hill”

but they didn’t win in the 1930s here and we won the civil war before

“the us was always nazi” no the US always had slavers but

there is a difference between “put down a slavers rebellion” and nazi Germany

the US has been somewhat better than autocratic dissent genocides

the propaganda about how the US was always a fascist state is a factual error as well as a propaganda error.

it’s not merely that people need something to believe in, it’s that if you believe the US cannot be steered, you will become increasingly correct.

tired of this shit tbh

the nazis didn’t win here. at least not yet.

their silence today with the atlantic coming forward is extremely embarrassing, along with the nytimes

the feds already have you if you post on lemmy, blusky, or mastodon

if I knew, I wouldn’t ask tbh…

I’m not saying it’s not an improvement but it’s not sufficient, either

Can I ask a different, more difficult question?

Where are people going?

Lemmy Isn’t Quite It? Mastodon is too formal. Blusky is too political.

Lemmy was a clone of Reddit. Not an improvement on it.

It’s better to hurt old people’s feelings than allow them to continue to debase themselves with the false belief that they’re competent.

It’s possible to have a readily applicable standard for polite interactions when we’re not divided by fascist rhetoric.

The way feminists relate to men’s issues is often founded in a universalizing noxious ideology of feminism. Men shouldn’t be feminists, they should be allies.

What I’m trying to say is: blocking isn’t the reason that our politics have entered into toxic polarization, fascism is the reason for that. There’s nothing really wrong with blocking.

THE JUDGMENT OF JOHN ROBERTS WAS SIMPLY IN ERROR. HIS JOB WAS TO SUPPLY JUSTICE. HE FAILED TO DO SO.

JOHN ROBERTS WAS ALREADY GERIATRIC WHEN HE ISSUED HIS CATASTROPHIC “RULING.”

GERIATRIC GOVERNMENT IS THE GREATEST THREAT TO WORLD PEACE.

what did you think the Jinping-Biden meeting was about

did you even notice it
