OK so let's say it's ageism, why should I care again?

If your president can barely finish a coherent sentence and literally pisses in a plastic bag strapped to his leg I don't care how you call it but I want none of it

Same reason I don't leave my newborn baby alone with my 95 years old grandma who has dementia, call it ageism if you want, I call it basic common sense



Ageist is thinking the reason it’s a bad idea to leave a baby with your grandma is because she’s 95 - not because she has dementia.

Which she could also have had at 50. Or even 35. Yes, early onset dementia is a thing.


Cognitive functions start to slowly decline after 50, and rapidly after 70

All I'm saying is that people in charge should have their full cognitive capabilities, see it's not ageism anymore!


Make a test, and I bet you more folks than you expect would pass. then it’s not ageism.
