Welcome to the Freak Show
RFK Jr: A study in much of what ails us.
A few years after his father was gunned down live on television, Robert Kennedy Jr. was struggling to finish high school because of drug and alcohol problems. He finally pulled it together long enough to graduate from a school in the Boston suburbs. It was time to apply to college. Legend has it that the son of the martyred hero wrote two words on the Harvard application: Kennedy. Harvard.
He was accepted.
Kennedy’s time at Harvard was spent bedding hundreds of co-eds and using drugs and alcohol heavily. Some speculate that the future journalist Peter Kaplan wrote his senior thesis. Kennedy received an A+ for the work. To be honest, who cares who wrote a piece of work that was probably as irrelevant the moment it was written as it is today? The most disturbing thing is that as bad as Donald Trump is, RFK Jr. is just as bad. Two lazy, good-for-nothing boys who lied, cheated, and abused their way into success thanks to the success of their fathers.
Two men whose lives have been completely antithetical to all that made our nation what it is are now receiving praise from so many confused traitors in our country. Donald Trump is a felon and a rapist. He has spent most of his life abusing women and cheating everyone he does business with. He has mocked our nation’s heroes and praised Nazis and white supremacists. Donald Trump is regarded as a messenger from God who will save our nation. By choosing RFK Jr., he has chosen a version of himself.
Remember all that Donald Trump has said and done over the past eight years. Let his words echo through your heart, soul, and brain a little more than they already have. Here is what RFK Jr. has said in the recent past. After posting a lot of crazy conspiracies during COVID, he was blocked from using Instagram.
When the Center for Countering Digital Hate labeled him a member of “The Disinformation Dozen,” he was suspended from Instagram — a move that reaffirmed his conviction that Big Tech was conspiring with the Biden administration to suppress free speech.
His rhetoric turned darker.
He invoked Holocaust imagery, drawing accusations of antisemitism. He railed against Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates, the philanthropist and founder of Microsoft, whose work bringing vaccines to the developing world has made him a target of conspiracy theories. He warned against the demise of democracy and “turnkey totalitarianism” imposed by a mysterious and ill-defined “they.”
“They’re putting in 5G to harvest our data and control our behavior, digital currency that will allow them to punish us from a distance and cut off our food supply,” Mr. Kennedy warned during a “Defeat the Mandates” rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in January 2022 (Kennedy’s Inheritance).
This man is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is a Cabinet-level government department that provides health and human services and promotes research in social services, medicine, and public health. The HHS achieves its goals through 12 agencies that manage more than 100 programs. The agencies include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Administration for Children and Families (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).
When I read the comments from people in right-wing publications, I am stunned at how much people think RFK Jr. is a great American who, similar to Trump, has spent much of his life fighting the ingrained powers that be. It makes me wonder what movie, HBO or Netflix series was responsible for turning so many Americans into absolute dopes.
