So much of this is an attack on expertise, on the idea that there are actual experts who know more than a reality tv host. Because once you succeed in denigrating experts, you have no one to question you who has any, well, expertise.

But they're BOTH so OLD! Gandalf can barely remember his passwords and even forgot that people called him Gandalf (yikes), while Saruman betrayed the Free Peoples of middle-earth and led an insurrection that stormed Helm's Deep. You can see how they're equally bad choices.
