Most of the writers in that group are generations younger than the 78-year-old Mr. Biden. But Mr. Trump has also gotten us all used to an extraordinary, if inadvertent, level of transparency. The internet, meanwhile, is noisier and even more polarized than when Mr. Biden and Mr. Obama left office four years ago.
