Hypothesis.
Weird old guy leaders like #Trump and #Biden are what happens when a #civilisation enters its end-phase. When it’s desperate to cling to what it had and is so unimaginative it can’t envision a new future. When vested interests anchor the status quo and new voices challenging it are seen as extremist. It’s all about protecting the status quo, and nothing embodies it better than old white guys preaching a new golden age just like the one they remember.
