I’ll indulge a political discussion that I think has already plunged into irrelevance especially in the past week, the candidacy of RFK Jr. for President. I sort of rooted for him up to a point, as a means to trash the Democrat vote, but there was a part of me that thought he might also be good for at least reminding us of a time when political discourse could be aspirational, even if he didn’t directly provide that service himself. The original RFK delivered and to the point that he’d be a revered conservative if he were to somehow resurrect from the grave today. Jr. started out his candidacy hinting at his father’s high-mindedness but alas, has been revealed to be something far less. We hoped that he would be the voice and embodiment of a traditional Democrat, something that seems to have been lost in an extinction event over the past few decades. That alone would be radical. Just like Sr. would come off as conservative today, any inkling or sighting of a ‘normal’ traditional Democrat would be an exciting discovery now-a-day. Unfortunately, RFK Jr did not deliver. The more we grew to know him, the most disappointing he became. He had one dance step, “Step to your left”. Repeat. “Step to your left”. [again]. [again]. [again]…. Well, there goes that. At a certain point, this bad news was good news. As he was going to draw votes away from both Trump and Biden, all these steps to the left just means taking all the votes only from Biden. It’s hard to get more hard-left than Biden but RFK Jr. has managed to do it. His core issues starting out were real, even if not the most burning in everyone’s mind now. Exposing the Covid fraud; yes, important, but not as hot as not being able to afford Biden groceries, not to mention that quite a few others are already exposing it. Our kid’s endocrine systems are being decimated by plastics and chemicals; again, it’s important but way down the hot list, especially when Biden is repeatedly inching us closer to WWIII. It seems as time went on, he went on a binge snapping up the real estate of far left causes, stuff like fully embracing transgenderism; Why? It almost seemed like impulses. ‘Here, I’ll take that for my collection.’ And what good does it do to mirror Biden’s positions? His VP pick, a gal no one outside of Silicone Valley knew, was picked for her deep pockets and far left views, perhaps sealing off any fantasy of stripping off Trump votes. This past week, things got even stranger, endorsing abortion up to birth but confessing he didn’t know where that came from, essentially admitting it was an impulse. A news story uncovered some very strange and entirely true medical history where an affliction was discovered to be a worm that ate a piece of his brain…somehow, things begin to make sense. JFK Jr, we hardly knew ya. He’s still in circulation, even confirming his place on state ballots. He wants to debate Trump but why, what for, and to what end? Convince marginal Trump voters that it’s essential to democracy to kill a baby in the birth canal? What tf is RFK smoking? Usually in these cases, they’re gunning for a slice of some future party pie but he has no party, not since he was driven from his party home, even by all of his blood relations, and is now politically homeless. Old man Joe Kennedy is rolling in his grave if he could see the circus his descendants have become, all of them. He might be most baffled how the whole lot of them abandoned one of their wayward own to slobber all over the senile and certified worst President of all time, a man devoid of any dignity or class whatsoever. It’s one thing to cast your pearls to pigs, and it’s another to be the pigs. It seems RFK Jr inadvertently exposed them all for what they’ve become and has himself become the most deluded of them all.
