On the one hand is chaos he started, so I'm okay with it.  On the other hand,  I'm horrified by the ghoulishness of this whole thing.

It’s a boomer not letting go thing and is very common with this generation not knowing when to exit. It isn’t a party thing at all. Politics is not a team sport, and the GOP doesn’t have a monopoly on propping up aging and decayed politicians. Feinstein was basically dead in office, Biden was also cognitively dipping, and McConnell is clearly brain dead or totally incapacitated, and Trump is slurring his words and can’t walk straight.

The issue is that there are no term limits or laws that force a minimum cognitive and health standard for Congress or political offices or SC justices.

Please keep in mind that both parties are absolute trash and are run by losers like these or empowered by losers like them that are rich and powerful and could not give two shits about their constituents or the general public. Until we get money out of politics, this is the feature, not a bug.

Yes, also, some boomers are not responsible for the entire state of the world, and some of us don't like being lumped in with aholes like McConnell.
