    The RFK Jr. hype is baffling. I know there’s some clickbait value to headlines about a Kennedy saying shit you’d expect to hear from Alex Jones, but that’s already lost its novelty. Feels like this media attention is being driven and it sure as hell isn’t by grassroots support for this lunatic.

      The only Hype I hear about RFK jr is coming from conservatives. For the longest time, I thought he was running for the republican ticket.

      I mostly just dismissed him as another brain rotted conservative conspiracy nut. Still do.

        Can’t decide if it seems like that implies you’re doing things really right, or are severely out of touch.
