Conservatives just can’t get enough of Robert F Kennedy Jr.. For them, he’s a political dream come true. Unfortunately, it’s not just the right boosting him, some on the left are as well. Don’t be fooled. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/rfk-jr-right-wing-ringer
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—Not Your Parents' Kennedy

A look at who Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is and why the right-wing loves him.

The Big Picture
@georgetakei RFK Jr. is a Republican oligarch's idea of a Democrat. I don't think the Taliban wing would wear him, which is why the oligarchs are running him as a Democrat
@georgetakei I got my first hint of what a wackjob RFK Jr was when he was on Air America /almost twenty years ago/. I still don't know what Arianna Huffington and Lizz Winstead saw in the guy other than his parentage.

@georgetakei RFK jr reminds me of the 2016 primaries when a right-wing Idaho gun nut I knew told me he didn't hate all the Democrats, in fact there was one he kinda thought made sense and I should check her out.
It was Tulsi Gabbard.
🙄

Pretty convinced they're both Russian assets.

@georgetakei Robert Kenedy Jr. is a charlatan. He misrepresents science and misleads his audience. You can't pick and choose what scientific findings you believe in.
@georgetakei RFKjr is just and an attention whore.

@georgetakei

To say Kennedy is a tool is a multi-layered description. 🤭

@georgetakei I was never fooled by the Kennedy family
@georgetakei
Who's worse Kennedy or Trump?
@JamesDBartlett3 @georgetakei
Is that they are as bad as each other?
@AutisticMumTo3 @georgetakei
Each is worse than the other in some ways, and better in others. On the whole, hard to say. But they're both worse than almost everyone else.

@georgetakei

What is it they say about the third generation of a dynasty? Blah, blah, mental illness, blah, blah?

Who wants me to draw a picture?

They are not ‘conservatives’ George, but members of an #AuthoritarianCult. That's why they like him. @georgetakei

@georgetakei #RFKJr is just #Bernie 2016. Why not? It worked then.

Welcome to #ComradeTrump 2.0.

@EarthOne @georgetakei
I think that Cornel West is more like Bernie 2016. RFK Jr. seems more like a James Comey combined with WikiLeaks nefarious black arts political scheme.
@GreenFire @georgetakei Any way you slice it, we're down the rabbit hole...again.
@georgetakei I think it is rather clear that the right is boosting him because they see him not as a good president, but as a stick in the spokes of Biden's reelection chances. Unfortunately, some on the left are falling for that.

@georgetakei wait. He's actual family of the other Kennedy?

I thought the US was a Republic. Not a monarchy?

How come family (Clinton, Bush, now Kennedy) then creates some succession fast lane to power?

@berkes @georgetakei In the US I think it's mostly that Money is a fast track to power, and (some) families hoard money.
@Retreival9096 @georgetakei how would such a system, where wealth determines who governs, be called? A a plutocracy?
@berkes @georgetakei No no, I'm sure I was taught in grade 12 it is a democracy. They wouldn't lie to me, would they?
@georgetakei poster boy for bad behavior
@georgetakei it’s where the two extremes of the lunatic fringe meet on the dark side of the moon.
@georgetakei wet dreams, maybe. Wet dreams lead to rashes no medicine can cure. You’re left with surgery to cut out the offending material. For me, this is the entire party at this point.
@georgetakei He doesn’t say or believe most of what’s been attributed to him in that article. He does cite studies that may point to some of those connections but he’s never said he believes them. He just wants better research and trials done. He wants big pharma’s influence on our national health institutions checked. He’s questioning things… and that’s needed. I want to hear him out. There’s a big difference between Kennedy and Trump. Listen to Kennedy himself before shaming.
@llaytham
I listened to him on the Rogan show. There is no question that he believes the anti-vax & anti-5G BS.
@johndporter yes. He believes there’s more going on than we know. I do too. It doesn’t make me wholly anti vax or pro every conspiracy theory. It makes me open minded and curious. Maybe skeptical.
@llaytham Of course "there is more going on than we know". But this stooge actually believes the anti-vax BS and the anti-5G BS. Sounds like you probably do too.
@georgetakei RFKjr is at once a GOP and a Russian disinformation stooge. He’s not bright enough to realize he’s a puppet, though. And no one who follows him has two neurons to rub together. He’s so patently full of shit that only a roided-up moron like Toe Rogan would believe him.
@georgetakei all I can say is, corrupt gangster, nazi advocate, and McCarthy supporter Joe Kennedy would have been proud of him.
@georgetakei
How many DINOs are there, anyway.

@georgetakei

Internal workings of political parties are open for political enemies to "join" and then vote for the worst candidate.

Why we insist that this system is functioning well is a mystery.

#tiereddemocraticgovernance

@georgetakei Fascists are NOT in any way conservative. We must stop allowing them to frame our language.
@georgetakei nah…. SMH ….. dig deeper, not supportable
