    Speaking as a former puppet: all of Capitol Hill/much of D.C. is run by 20-somethings like this, precisely because they’re easy to manipulate.

      B/C 20-somethings are ideologically more malleable and essentially going through political puberty as they are becoming full-fledged adults. I remember I was still mostly parroting my parents’ views at that age, and am glad I grew.
