That's the big risk with having very old people in positions of power - they personally have no future and their motivations can fluctuate very wildly influenced by a ton of factors ranging from misinfo to late life crisis to dementia onset.
I find that most if not all older people care about their legacy. A lot of these old fucks are stuck in their ways and live in a buble you and I would find fuckin abhorrent to how we live now.
