I missed watching Trump's inauguration.

I had some unexpected work that day, which led to me driving past this accident scene before they closed I-5

According to Washington State Patrol, racing was a "contributing factor" in the crash, which remains under investigation.

The crash occurred when a vehicle, driven by an 18-year-old man, tried to pass a semi-truck on the left shoulder, according to preliminary information

This post is not intended to compare the Inauguration or Trump's presidency with a car crash. Here's the thought that did occur to me:

It used to be that young people were generally liberal and older people were generally more conservative.
There were sayings about that 'truism.'

Upon reflection it makes sense, early social training (public school) has greater impact closer to age of acquisition of said training, and it was a time in America of greater Christian influence on youth (there's more, but that's the start of an explanation).

So, what if it was reversed? A youthful conservative voting block that sways political power rather than a youthful liberal voting block.

It's possible that the risk of socio-economic-political crashes increase in such a scenario, due to lack of experience, increased naivety, untrained risk assessment, et cetera.

(edited to add: a more correct, cohort specific list might be "due to increased competition, reduction in empathy, lack of a structured morals check, higher disagreeableness, a more 'unbridled' youthful avarice, et cetera.")

As social media is leveraged to manipulate these voting blocks, how will biologically driven expressions impact the stability/effects of the new structure, before things settle down to a new normal?

I glanced at the math.
Trump and Biden share a milestone.
At the end of their terms, they will share an age.

May President Trump's advisors and doctors be excellent, for the sake of the Presidency, the country and the world.

Edited to add: the above post surely has biases, but it's from a NON-partisan person who has not voted since around the year 2000.
