      The answer has always been to lean into it, not fight it.

              Thats true, but I’m positive he meant that as in older than its age from birth to death. Not in the. “I can say the baby is older because it was born in 1699 and died at 1 month old.” sense.

    When every democratic politician left of Pat Buchanan for the last 30 years has been called a RADICAL SOCIALIST LUNATIC, not sure what impact “no, but really this time!” is expected to have.
