It's the same thing with generations that are all like 'Pick yourself up by the bootstraps! Work hard and believe in the american dream!' And then as soon as a certain young person gets elected to congress, they mock her for working as a bartender before as though that somehow makes her lesser than they are, although they preach the idea that anyone can make a success of themselves if they work hard...
When it comes to the republicans, an older candidate is fine, as long as they're republican, a bartender turned politician would be an inspirational story, as long as they are white, blonde and republican.
