I watched RFK Jr.’s announcement. His pulling out of the swing states is a very interesting tactic. I guess it’s possible he might nudge enough voters into Trump’s column to swing a few of those swing states. Wouldn’t that be crazy! From everything I’ve read about Kennedy he seems like a very strange man. I think I read that he may have pushed one of his wives to commit suicide. So, like everything else about the American political scene, Kennedy is another weird enigma that makes it easier to believe we’re living through some kind of apocalyptic end time.
But when you separate the man from the message, I have to think that his reasons for opposing the Democrats mostly rings true:
- Free Speech
- Ukraine
- Public Health
And especially the first two issues are so clearly aimed at the disastrous policies that the Democrats have allowed the Deep State to foist on the country. The campaign by the intelligence agencies to dictate to the social media sites what they can and cannot allow to be said is such a transparent violation of the first amendment that it’s shocking that the Supreme Court hasn’t already taken some direct action against it. I’m guessing it’s through fear. After all, where exactly is the Supreme Court’s army? After the Supreme Court tells the CIA to cease and desist who exactly goes down to the CIA and frog marches them to jail? Nope.
As for Ukraine, I listened to Kennedy’s description of how the State Department initiated the war and it was spot on. He might as well have had me write it for all the difference in our ideas about it. He’s right and unless the Democrats lose the chances of a shooting war with the Russians is probably 100%.
So even though I think RFK Jr. is a weird unsympathetic character (a Kennedy) I agree with his reasons for not supporting the Democrats and hope that his support for Trump will be enough to throw one or more swing states into the Trump column. I wondered if maybe Kennedy has someone else who does his thinking for him. I’m not implying he isn’t intelligent but the fact that the issues he is championing make perfect sense to me doesn’t jibe with the reputation he has for adopting weird fringe causes. If he had said that he was opposing the Harris campaign because of their stance on alien abduction and probing that would feel like an RFK Jr. signature move. But I believe in taking the W when it presents itself. And if a kook suddenly stops spouting gibberish and wants to help my side, I’ll gladly hand him a shovel point him toward the front lines and tell him to start digging foxholes.
On a personal note, I find listening to his horrible voice impediment almost impossible to do. It’s like listening to someone scraping a steel nail against a slate chalkboard. It’s physical and mental torture. But regardless of my personal feeling I say, well done Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy Junior. You have proven that the Kennedy family isn’t a complete and utter waste of everyone’s time. You’ve done one useful thing in your time on this Earth. Kudos.
