there aren't riots over the state of elder care because the elderly can't riot

I dunno. They have families. I’d be up for throwing a brick or two, knowing what I know about it.
The cynic in me believes that as much as those family members may hate the state or elder care, they much prefer it to the alternative, ie having their relatives move in with them and taking care of them themselves.
No, but they do vote, and they may just vote for an angry populist.
If nobody has taken the keys to their Lincoln away, the elderly can do much more than riot.
