We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.

Leaving aside the typical histrionics, this seems to be Trump beginning to distance himself from Kennedy (who’s “ripping apart” CDC), and inviting mainstream physicians and scientists to defend the vaccines, so Trump can then say, I got them to explain it better and vaccines are OK.

There’s an old saying that “Mussolini made the trains run on time.” But he didn’t. That false claim stuck because the Italian dictator and his supporters said it a lot. Mussolini ended up with his dead body hung upside down from a metal girder above a service station. Not a success story. /2

When qualifications are irrelevant and the only value is loyalty to a dictator, corruption flourishes. That's lucrative for a few, but it undermines the system for everyone else. Where there is no justice, just obvious corruption, a functional society is impossible. The trains don't run on time. 6/

In dictatorships, paranoia becomes policy. Joseph Stalin devastated the Soviet military through purges. After 13 of 15 army commanders were ousted, his military was so weakened that the Soviets nearly lost to Germany in WWII. Trump is currently purging and weakening the U.S. military. 3/
