I severely doubt that Bradley was Fuhrer for 130 years. Now THAT would be completely and totally farfetched.
Dante, I'm not sure. I could come up with something pointlessly elaborate to cover that up, but I am far too lazy right now.
Yes of course that would be too far fetched but he had to be Fuhrer before the Ishval war because he ordered it, which means he had to be in there for some years. Now he certainly cannot rise to Fuhrer in just only a few years which means he must age naturally in that time he's with the army. But 130+ years means either he ages slowly (not likely judging from current bunch of Homunculus, and the manga's Bradley was
designed to age) or he ages not one bit at all (Gluttony certainly shows no signs of aging).
And regarding Dante, if it involves us fans to create "elaborate" explanations drawing upon lots of self-created fictional elements instead of facts shown in the anime to explain that situation, then that really shows the anime crews' flaw in setting up that situation.
