Yes. At least a little cranky at times.
My best guess is age brings pain, either physical and/or mental. Constant pain, even if relatively minor aches, can make people cranky.
The psychological pain is seen in a lot of the Trumpers; they are angry and bitter. Why? It's not that they really give a shit about "We, the People" or the Constitution as proved by their own posts seeking to strip Americans of their rights. They just use that as an excuse for their bad behavior. IMO, it could be regrets over life failures and mistakes or it could be mental deterioration such as dementia and paranoia.
In conservative men, it's common to have the highest respect for the "manly men"*. The weak ones seek to bully and attack those they perceive as weaker in order to enhance their manliness. The American male version of a chicken pecking order. IMO, it's a main cause of homophobic behavior.
As men age, they grow weaker and that pisses off the weak-minded ones making them bitter and angry. Having a touch of dementia, or normal age-related forgetfulness coupled with a little paranoia, just makes them angrier. Being weak in both mind and body, instead of accepting their fate and taking it like a man, they wimp out and blame others for their problems. Hence, hateful lies and attacks on those who disagree with them. They demonize the Left, minorities and women as the cause of their problems.

My God, what a RACIST comment!!!!!
This from the SJW clown who calls everyone else a racist.
Pointing out racism is not racism.

Hello Jarod,
It's woke because the lil mermaid is black. It raises social awareness that black people have a place in our culture. Woke is social awareness, particularly of racial issues.
It's woke and it should be. Woke is a good thing.

So little black mermaids across the country can feel "empowered"?
What is "woke" good for exactly? Oh right it got "Uncle" Ben off a box and Aunt Jemima off the syrup bottle. And even with that you bitches are STILL whining. Serious question for you, if blacks get the reparations they believe they are entitled to will that finally get you bitches to stop whining? Will that put an end to this bullshit once and for all? Don't be a pussy actually answer the fucking question.

That's not what you said though, is it?
You made the blanket claim that "Asians hate black people".
Like all racist comments, it generalizes a particular group of people and portrays all members of that group as having the same qualities or characteristics.
It's no better than saying "blacks are lazy" or "Hispanics are easily excitable".
It never surprises me to see members of the group that is so obsessed with racism that they constantly accuse others of it, engaging in racism themselves without even realizing it.
I'll bet people like you, ThatBowelWoman, Diesel Dyke, Dork Dunce etc, think that racism is only racism when it's directed at black people, and when other groups are the target, you don't even notice it.
Such is the level of woke insanity in our society these days.

It never occurred to me until this thread that a black man playing Aladdin would have been a problem for anyone.

Every trumper is a N4T.
Is representing a group of people who comprise 12% of the US population, as if they were over 50% of the population a good thing? Is it fair to Hispanics who make up nearly twice the number of blacks in the US but get a fraction of the attention and concessions paid to them?
And why is that?
Could it be that Hispanics tend to be more self reliant and take more responsibility for their own circumstances than black people do? That maybe Hispanics don't get babied and catered to because they aren't constantly crying, complaining and blaming everyone else for aspects of their lives that they bring much of on themselves?
Am I a "racist" for asking the question?

Was it?
If the complaint is that black actors should not play Disney characters that were never previously depicted as black, then I have to assume that outrage against Will Smith playing Aladdin must have been on par with Halle Bailey playing Ariel.

That's the part that makes me curious. That movie is only 4 years old. The Alt-Right had no problem with a black man taking a traditionally white man role, but they are extremely upset about a black woman taking a one-time white girl cartoon role.
In this version, the genie is a white female along with lots of actors in brownface:

QED
There must be some thought pattern related to the exact amount of melanin in the characters skin, and ethnic background.
It's okay for someone of black, subsaharan African decent to play an Arabic male, but a black female cannot play a female cartoon character who has skin tone and hair of a northern European.

Film Critics and More React in Shock and Disbelief to Will Smith’s ‘Aladdin’ Genie
Aladdin backlash against Will Smith's Genie was unexpected, says producer
It's interesting though that the "outrage" was more to do with him not being blue and not being Robin Williams, than it was about him not being a white actor. Guess they hadn't yet fired up the Woke Hate Machine yet.
Here is part of the problem, you are treating "blacks" as if they are all exactly alike and all believe the same thing.. it shows your stupidity.

IMO, they are just racist, bitter assholes venting from their rooms and hoping some patsy shoots up a movie theater or a daycare center full of Liberal's kids.

It's even funnier that both jinnis and mermaids are made-up creatures that don't exist in real life.
