Big Judiciary power grab. Now which judge hips are elected and which are appointed. Plus we are basically the Soviet Union (60's-70's?) when they exchanged science for political power.

The US government has also become a Gerontocracy so also tracks with the 80s Soviet union.

Support the gerontocracy argument, please.

Over a third of US senators are ages 70 & over. 56% are 65 & over. 69% are 60 & over. Average age of senators in the 118th Congress is 64.

(and for historical comparison, between 1919 and 1999 at least 50% of the senate was under 60)

And then there's the fact that most of them are rich...

Well i don't think the historical comparison will say much there

(i mean, probably in raw numbers it would because of the drastically increased inequality in the US today. But in terms of class...)
