Well, yeah, but that's not just Boomers. That's Millennials too. That's just the way politics is now. Even for the people who do have a "life". From Trump and Steve King to AOC and Mayor Pete.
It's all just, kind of a popularity contest.
- derp_dee_derp 8y agoHow do you objectively lump Trump in with this? He's had a very long career (whether or not is was successful or not is another question) and has been in the public eye for literally decades. Love him or hate him, Trump does not only have a "short PR/media career to look back on" and should not be lumped in with your other examples.
- bilbo0s 8y ago? I think you misread my post??? >*Even for the people who do have a "life"..." People like Trump and Steve King, or AOC and Mayor Pete. Maybe you disagree with what they did in former lives, but they did have a life, and they are every bit as inclined to "politic" as the people who didn't have a life. It's just what you have to do.
