What's Up With Politics?

The previous White House administration was an embodiment of what is wrong with the left wing of the political spectrum—a policy of 'too little, too late.' Aging government bureaucrats, led by a 'leader' who was literally decomposing before our eyes, proved to be incapable of meeting the demands of the new age of unhinged tech. The new administration, although packed with 'young and hungry' individuals, is essentially also led by older folks who have tried to gain—and then cling to—power by shifting from 'not moving at all' to 'crazy fast.' However, the results they have achieved so far are close to catastrophic. Still, the desperate public and their elected representatives are willing to give them all the time in the world they need to destroy everything. It seems that Churchill's 1942 saying, 'You can always count on Americans to do the right thing—after they've tried everything else,' remains true 83 years later. I would only change 'Americans' to 'youngsters' and 'they' to 'oldies'.
