    You’re supporting my point about conservatives loving a name (and thinking liberals do too), instead of an ideology. Putting his batshit craziness aside for a moment, when I look at RFK Jrs policy positions, he’s not a liberal. Why do conservatives think liberals would vote for a conservative?

    His policies appear to be:

    • anti climate change initiatives
    • anti vaccination (even for things like measles!)
    • believes abortion is a tragedy, but said he’d allow it
    • thinks US support of Ukraine is a mistake, and thinks diplomacy would solve it instead (Has he not read the Budapest Memorandum?)
    • backs Texas’s actions at the southern border
    • wants to make government backed 3% mortgages, but doesn’t talk about where the money would come from or where all the new housing would either

    Its crazy to think that comparing to RFK Jr, George W Bush is more liberal.
