    Guess which age group tends to be overrepresented in that upper class, and how recently a large portion of that class joined the group?

    And that does not even get into the old fucks in Congress making all the decisions they’ll never have to consider because they’ll be dead by the time consequences catch up.

    They are separate… but the two are also very linked currently.

      No, it is just a result of how power and political office works in the US in particular. There are new generations of fascists ready to take over when the old ones die off, the mechanisms which perpetuate this has nothing to do with age.
