Also think everybody should start to get prepared for Republican Nominee RFK Jr. He's got that real backup autocrat evil in him.

Yeah I don't buy it. American voters are nothing if not shallow and fickle, and roughly zero people will sit through 5 minutes of him speaking and think "yeah I want to hear THIS every day from the white house"
Inevitable
Does he have a sufficiently large portfolio of credible sexual assault accusations to appeal to the MAGA base?
Actually yes!
Of course he does.

I have a hard time believing that someone with his voice (I realize it’s due to a condition that he has no control over) can win the nomination, but who knows!
I think it's nuts, but some of that has to still just be Kennedy name recognition, right?
I'd argue that RFK has too many mental er, deviances, to be able to competently do anything, but I suppose competence isn't necessary to govern anymore.
Nobody will be able to stomach 9 months of him gargling gravel every day
I was going to say beyond the Pope, the RFK number is legitimately scary.
"They're eating the roadkill, they're eating the whales!"
Once the inevitable tragedy of children’s deaths is pinned on him his entire support will deflate and they’ll move on to the next con man who hasn’t been proven wrong yet.
I hope so, but anecdotally I am not certain it will go that way. My (otherwise relatively progressive) MIL won’t ascribe any of the death or destruction to him because to do so would call into question her rejection of germ theory, which is an article of faith to her.
WTAF
I would like to see approval polling on RFK Jr's brain worm (is it more popular than he is??)
Oh, the worm wins. I'd like another one to join it but to stay alive this time.
The Kennedy name still has some juice. Even its being carried by a walking corpse.
Yea Brain worms need a voice in government too!!!!
Oh god. Gonna throw up
I feel like people don't understand what a profoundly despicable person he is.
we need some kind of awareness campaign.
Look I'm just gonna come out and say it. RFK Jr. thinks I should either die or work myself to death. I'm good for nothing else to him. If you're disabled, he thinks that of you too.
I genuinely think the electorate will be put off by his voice if he’s the nominee.
I heard his voice for the first time a few weeks ago, truly unpleasant and terrifying. Plus he has dead psycho eyes.
If the Republican Party makes JFK Junior a nominee, they will lose big time. No one’s going to vote for a guy who can barely speak. His voice is barely audible the majority of the time he speaks.
RFK Jr learned about all of the awful shit his grandfather did and he said “Hold my beer” to become the most evil Kennedy in all of world history.
Angel of Death Monarch to the kingdom of the dead Sadistic, surgeon of demise Sadist of the noblest blood Destroying without mercy To benefit the Aryan race
Agree. Certain left-wing #Boomers think he is one of theirs. And to a great extent he is.
I'd rather vote for the brainworm.
RFK Jr being only five points underwater is fucking astounding. He's a ghoul through and through.
I have family members who say he is “funny.” They didn’t know he is an antivaxer. They have no clue he loves raw milk, swims in ecoli-ridden Rock Creek with grand kids, and shredded research. I bet they would vote for him. Uninformed college-educated. Unreal.
100% name recognition. Feeble-brained Americans don’t think beyond that.
It's that "I'd fuck a dead bear in Central Park" bad-boy Kennedy energy, you just can't fight it.
Because there’s a LOT of woo-woo grifters out there who he’s helping make rich. Also every person that posts AMERICA GET SICK BECAUSE EAT BIC MAC under every health post, they support him too. Remember he ran as a Democrat first, that belief system cuts across the left and the right.
I was astonished by that. I guess people see the Kennedy name and that’s all they see.
Absolutely a dangerous idiot.
Incredible the cheat codes that let people fool Americans. Our country was born out of a rejection of aristocracy and monarchy, yet we bend the knee to anyone with the Kennedy surname
A lot of people out there must have a death wish.
Or a willingness to face dire risks (that they underestimate) so long as people they feel are unworthy end up dying en masse
go to any pharmacy and you'll find homeopathic "medicine" right next to the real drugs with no real indication that they're different. rfk jr. is long where we've been as a country.
My takeaway as well. I figured he'd be down in Trump-Rubio territory, but I guess there's a contingent of folks with Theories™ that like him. And the apple cider vinegar crowd.
Himalayan salt!!
It shows how fucked the information environment is that his destruction of public health hasn't made him radioactive
he's possibly literally radioactive
On instagram I saw people who claimed to be parents of autistic children, saying they support him because he's the one who's going to find a specific cause of/cure for autism
Delusional
Meanwhile, zero autistic people support him, because he plainly despises us & thinks the world would be better off without us. Autism is mainly genetic. If scientists ever do nail down a genetic “cause,” they still won’t be able to “cure” living autistic people, like those IG moms’ kids. /
/They’d use it to screen for & abort autistic pregnancies, & prevent more autistics from ever being born. Those moms need to accept the autistic children they have, instead of ruining their lives trying to “fix” them with quack pseudoscience.
People just see 'kennedy'
TBH even I just saw "Kennedy." For a moment or two I was wondering why JFK was on the list.
💯
You've been too correct so far 🫣
Shut your fucking mouth, Tim
He's that popular that Gavin Newsom appears to be appropriating his voice.
HOW THE FUCK IS HE THAT POPULAR?
Kennedy
He’s got that worm in him!
Why are you speaking this into existence? YOU SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH, BEN. 😭
As ever, you read this tragic and horrific news here first.
