I’m legitimately confused. Maybe I’m even stupider than I look, but I really thought that a lot of this was just grifting. It’s one thing for Trump to drum up his base by nominating antivax guys, but why are other people so into this? I just don’t get the connection and obsession with RFK Jr. It’s one thing if bad state actors have blackmail material and are trying to make America responsible for the next pandemic or maybe just kill off Americans in general, but do people with money actually believe this stuff? I swear I really thought they all knew they were lying this whole time.
That’s just it though. Like, ok my racist uncle wants RFK, but why do people with the power to make or break politicians care? My racist uncle is dumb and hates vaccines, but what is RFK promising to do for these other people? I just don’t believe Elon musk and his ilk are actually antivax, so why are they pushing RFK so hard? I get playing to your base, but if it was just about getting someone who is antivax so Rs feel seen, then why does it seem like it’s RFK or bust for these people?

They’re going to solve climate change by killing us all.
My step-brother literally tried to stick a magnet to the arm I got vaccined, they’re just this stupid. Weaponized stupidity.
Having an idiot in a position of power can be pretty convenient. This is all being funded by the oligarchs, obviously

Money, connections, status, publicity, loyalty. Probably a useful idiot like Trump.
When people say what they want and what they’re gonna do you gotta believe and threat then them accordingly until they show otherwise. Always.
