I'm really surprised with your essay, as it is not aligned with Buddhism, aka the middle way, and more importantly the understanding of cause and effect. Furthermore, rather than focus on characteristics that are superficial at best, if you really want to go into it, why not look at public policy and history prior to making your comments?
Let's start with the international stage/World view. US is has currently been in the worse international standing, that we are considered vulnerable and a cash grab. De-dollarization is now a theme. Iran was practically bankrupt until the Biden administration funded billons for hostages. Do you honestly think given their history (cause and effect) that they will no longer be a terrorist state and stop the mantra "death to America"? Shall we go into exiting Afghanistan, one of the most embarrassing and deadly exits for Americans in recent history? Let's go to Ukraine war - it was a NATO membership issue and we embolden Putin (which under the Obama admin he conquered Chechnya) knowing he would go after Ukraine. Also, let is not forget about illegal immigration - where illegals stay in 4 star hotels with vouchers for a phone, meals are offered, encroaching public schools, our medical systems at the expense of our own citizens for sanctuary cities such as NYC? Whereas those who can contribute and willing to undergo the legal process are punished?
Since we're in California, are you pleased with public schools focused on the Oppressor/Oppressed ideology that among other things have created dangerous precedents enabling puberty blockers to children without parents consent, racialized school communities, and a focus on sexuality more so that basic academic standards such as literacy and math? If you knew your history this is the same playbook used by Mao, the Nazis, they infiltrated K-12 to expand their power. As for the oppressor/oppressed ideology, all I can say is this is a great setup for communism / socialism utopias. You can be communist in a free country but never free in a communist country. Consider looking at Katharine Birbalsingh to understand how to create a successful multi-cultural community.
Soren, rather than spew superficial character flaws, focus on the real challenges and return to the teaching of Buddha - the middle way, showing how certain ideas when tested among real lives can create destructive or constructive outcomes regardless of characters. Furthermore, focus of cause and effect. I would hope the wisdom community is wise enough to see that it is not focusing on therapeutics to feel better but to understand how things occur and come to be, become purposeful with their own agency to make lasting constructive choices and decisions.
Why do you hate President Trump? President Biden lied during the recent debate- for starters he stated that border patrol union members support him- not true. Have you absorbed the energy of the propaganda industry?
Has nothing to with age. Rather, what are their values, motivations and aspirations for the greater good for people. Where will the person, regardless of age, lead.

I completely agree. I've written about the relationship between energy, power and political language here: https://thebreakoutroom.substack.com/p/energy-power-and-political-language
Nazi propaganda strategy killed millions … this lacks mindfulness

Octogenarian politicians will kill America, as they killed the Soviet Union

There is no leadership in America. Just career politicians, deadlock, in-fighting, and a march towards extinction
