Ignoring all the actual structural (wealth & power) problems we have that play into our inability to find strong leaders aged appropriately, I sometimes wonder if this isn’t a courage problem. Trump and Biden have nothing to lose. It doesn't take courage and backbone to play those scapegoat roles, because nothing they do to their image or reputation matters. It takes true courage for a 40 year old with half a life ahead of them to stand up and advocate for what they believe in, knowing they’ll e.g. face ridiculous death threats, and may well be ostracized by formerly close friends and/or communities once their hand is known. Most people are not willing to take that risk, and I’m not sure a good leader with a family should be expected to. The reason freedom of expression is sacrosanct is because it enables people to stake their reputation in a way that doesn’t risk being canceled. So they can go back to life as it were if their platform doesn't take off. In short, if we want to see younger leader perhaps we should stop canceling people left and right over small human blunders or evolving opinions and be more forgiving and tolerant as a society.
