Before we begin, consider that RFKJ and Donald Trump are both independent candidates. Each man exists outside his respective party’s power structure. Each is focused on issues their parties have been ignoring for years. Each has taken stances on those issues in adversity to their parties’ stances.
Kennedy is candid about his view that we pushed Russia into invading Ukraine, and Trump wants an end to wars in general.
Trump wants to finish his border wall; Kennedy believes certain segments of the border require “physical barriers” in order to stop the dangerous migration of unfairly prioritized illegal aliens.
Kennedy wants to limit the remits of intelligence agencies and dissolve major government institutions; Trump wants to drain the swamp.
Trump vaccuumed up a mosaic of voters from the working classes tired of being ignored by a political class allergic to their interests, small business, and honesty. Here’s a tweet from RFKJ:
Sound familiar?
The reputations and iconoclastic visions of these two candidates suggest that if either got into the oval office he would dissolve without concern for political fallout the perverting and plundering influences of the pharmaceutical industry, agenda-captured departments of the federal government, the military-industrial-intelligence complex, and global agreements that supercede U.S. national sovereignty.
Each party is panicked by the growing voter interest in Trump and Kennedy, because either one’s presidency promises destruction of these status quos, and the longstanding norm of Congress’s failure to represent voter interest.
From Pew Research Center:
[Represent.us is the most recent Common Cause-style org screaming at us the statistics of actual citizen influence on law making, if you’re interested.]
Even if a policy is extremely popular with the average voter, it has no more than about a 30% chance of becoming a reality. Further worrying, the stats show that it doesn’t matter at all how many of us support it. The rate of success remains the same, as tho citizen support literally isn’t a factor in legislation.
So the duopoly still scaring Americans into voting for it—commonly referred to as “the two-party system”—is only begrudgingly acknowledging the candidacies of Robert Kennedy and Donald Trump, having not yet figured out how to be rid of them.
Kennedy is currently claiming that the DNC is pulling shenanigans to make it impossible for him to win the Democrat nomination, by controlling the vote of that structurally anti-democratic party’s “superdelegates” (as it did the last time it rigged its primary election against the candidate who polled as more likely to beat Trump, Bernie Sanders).
As with Trump, Kennedy’s party leadership considers him pre-disqualified because of irresponsible speech (candor with the public), conspiracy theories (his outdated expectation that we see the science), and the historical dangers of populism (always historical; we all live in the distant past and it’s dangerous here, now, there).
The DNC has even suggested non-incumbent candidates pay for a primary election, because allowing the three out of four Democrat voters who want someone other than Biden to run any option other than a pathological liar guilty of multiple high crimes is a waste of party funds.
Whom then, we will all soon ask, does he represent?
Kennedy’s support has climbed past 20% among Democrats, and many more describe him favorably, seemingly because of his reputation for taking stands, his classy unwillingness to engage in tribalist rhetoric, and his intact cognitive faculties, all of which threaten our democracy.
Meanwhile polls show Trump is gaining black voters exponentially, as disaffected black Americans leave the party of race. (Leave it to Democrat politicians not to foresee that broadcasting Trump’s mugshot from his fourth indictment, would accelerate that trend… Where y’all from again? Keep lecturing to us about race tho.)
Democrat voters are hearing these populist/popular views, now that Kennedy is all over the indysphere. Boomers respect his family. Zoomers respect his rebelliousness. The rest of us are violently sick of being “treated like mushrooms,” as the great Dr. John Campbell would put it (“kept in the dark and fed unpleasant material”) (shit).
The more Democrat voters are forced to contend with truths they’ve been tricked into dismissing as racist, homophobic, white/nationalist, or xenosexist conspiracy hate speech, the more their party’s masters look desperate trying to discredit Kennedy, even accusing the Israel-enamored candidate of anti-semitism. (Why didn’t we see it before, The Atlantic? Well, I guess we missed Trump’s racism for seven decades too.)
“Kennedy is smart, and he’s a common-sense guy.”
— Donald Trump
Perhaps this is why you don’t hear either one insult the other, an undiscussed phenomenon too pregnant with implications about the real state of our country for any commentator to explore.
Real.
Kennedy has never been caught in a lie. Instead of hedging or prevaricating when asked things like whether he’d defend Taiwanese sovereignty, Kennedy simply states that he would never answer such a question and then explains why—the U.S.’s longstanding "strategic ambiguity” regarding Taiwan.
(What’s the strange feeling? Huh… It’s like… I understand what’s going on.)
Kennedy is refreshingly/threateningly candid about his views and concerns, and has many years publicly proving those convictions, meaning we at least believe that he really is concerned about those things, regardless of whether those things make him very unpopular in the minds of the pseudoscientifically opinionated.
Dennis Kucinich is running Kennedy’s campaign (real recognizes real) and I believe that scares party leadership too because of the many things and people that particular former rep must know. Kucinich emphasizes his candidate’s “truth-telling,” and you won’t see Biden’s people try to fight him on that point, which is a giant concession in an election that will be decided almost entirely by perceived trustworthiness.
The only explanation for not trying to paint Kennedy as a liar (too) is that focus groups and private polls have told the DNC it would just make Kennedy look better, and Biden worse.
Truth-telling exposes secret schemes, reveals the true motivations behind otherwise inexplicable new policies, spoils the designs for Maui’s reconstruction in accord with extranational elites’ anti-American vision, and destroys totalitarianism itself.
Kennedy’s skeptical stance on the American vaccine schedule by itself proves his authenticity. There is nary a politician who has made public any skepticism about the vaccine industry, much less demanded scientific inquiry into their uniquely unstudied products. Kennedy has, and continues to make.
Staking an outlier position even one’s own party unanimously avoids means one is crazy, stupid, or real, because to do so is to invite certain ridicule, disdain, and in this case classification as an “anti-vaxxer” (disease threat/problem person/dirty Jew), which might as well be classification as a mass-murdering enemy of the people in the minds of many Democrat voters.
The only conclusion that can be drawn from his clinging to such a stance is that it is genuine. When Kennedy is proven correct to be concerned, this realness will be much more respected, even by those still convinced our rotted institutions have our best interests in mind (or that they have any problem with boldfaced lying to us about our vital health, while they personally follow what they tell us is misinformation).
Consider Kennedy’s book, The Real Anthony Fauci. It provides exhaustive sources and references for every statement it makes about our contemporary Dr. Mengele. No one, anywhere, ever, has challenged its claims or accused Kennedy of lying in it.
Can you think of a single reason why the skilled denialists of the pharmaceutical industry—including Fauci—and the collection of officials appointed to public health positions/information bottlenecks during the covid mismanagement have all foregone addressing the claims in Kennedy’s book (and free documentary) about Fauci? Because there is a single reason.
Realness is why both Kennedy and Trump stand out, especially Kennedy because of the wider spread inauthenticity in his party. Even we who do not agree with parts of their platforms are drawn to them, simply because we can see who they are. (I can’t even tell who the person in charge now is.)
The more Democrats see Kennedy defend his heretical positions, the more they question other Democrat narratives… which will lead them eventually to questioning the repeated and unsuccessful prosecutions of Donald Trump.
The more they wonder why the two most popular candidates running against the incumbent are being sidelined, the more they start looking outside of the DNC-controlled media for information.
The Democrat party masters are stuck, in a political pincer between the man they denied election by hiding his opponent’s high crimes (the evidence in Hunter Biden’s conveniently abandoned laptop) and the descendent of famous, assassinated uniters.
This is why I say Kennedy may be our only hope, not because he can win, but because it doesn’t matter if he does. He is the only candidate, including Trump, who dares to speak about the matters most crucial now to free people (so really to all people, assuming all want a chance to be free some day). He even recently gave a speech that emphasized the necessity of separating money and government.
“When the true king’s murderers are allowed to roam free, a thousand magicians arise in the land. ‘Where are the feast we are promised?’”
— Jim Morrison
What could they possibly do to him without exposing themselves? It would be like passing out They Live glasses.
Free.
Kennedy is free from the obligations and expectations of his party. His affiliation with it is inherited, in congruence with his environmental activism, and unquestionable. Because of that he doesn’t have to adopt the DNC’s new priorities. That means he is free to tell people truth about things that would cost other Democrats their careers even to mention.
Being free to speak means being unafraid, whether because of fanaticism (being “stuck on stupid”), or a death wish, or courage. Always being unafraid to speak means worthy of leading a free people. Leading a free people means defending our rights to accurate information, scientific inquiry, and public spaces and forums to exchange views and debate ideas.
If as president he prosecutes those responsible for the mass experiment, such as Walensky and Fauci, he’d be re-elected—by a couple hundred million extremely angry, betrayed Americans, which is another reason our misleaders might rather arrange an accident for him than allow his inauguration, for surely the unspoken questions Americans have not even considered yet—like ”Did they take the shot?”—would echo across every social media platform by 2026, and an entire party would be hollowed out, its scattering mendicants fleeing prosecution and worse.
Kingly.
Kennedy says things like “We’re living in a weird period of history,” while people like me would say we are in an unrecognized totalitarian moment threatening all of Western civilization and the future of human freedom itself (and others would just mutter curses and stockpile ammo).
His diction is that of a politician who is sensitive and diplomatic enough to keep the calm, a leader who cares for his people and appreciates their volatile state. Even Ramaswamy’s unifying word choices, assiduously avoiding descent into the tribal parlance interviewers lure him toward, do not compare to Kennedy’s, probably because of Kennedy’s decades of experience speaking to the public on contentious issues and his having good role models in his own family.
Such a vague term like “weird” suggests something is wrong, but without panicking those who cannot yet see the tide that has already taken over our entire education system and most our media. He is tapping them on the shoulder with a child-sized glove coated in soft enough alpaca they might feel safe enough to turn around—and look for themselves. What seems weird to you, “liberal”? Our leaders priorities?
What does he mean by weird? The word is allowed entrance by the dissonated mind, sealed by media’s neurolinguistic spackling and kept by the same spellcasters addled—with constant prompts to fear, distrust, and feel enmity. “Weird” begs for definition, connection to context.
Kennedy thusly seeds his countrymen’s salted soil, at the same time dropping hints to those who can interpret such vaguery as signs that he knows what’s up, all the while managing to keep our attention on the content of his speech rather than be distracted by his throaty, vaccine-injured voice—with preciloquence when just enough will do, poetry when opportunities to dispel their magicks present themselves.
I could listen to the man talk all day.
While furnishing his position that the border ought to be defended, Kennedy described the vast majority of illegal migrants he saw in Yuma as “fighting-age men.”
Of course, he didn’t mean to suggest that’s what they’re here for, he makes clear—by adding that he isn’t suggesting that they’re here “for military purpose.”
Catch that?
The pearls land, delivered like Bugs Bunny leading a daft duck, and the listener’s mind wanders… Why is Italy letting all those fit young men beach and stay, even now under Meloni? And how could they earn their citizenship, I mean without current citizens’ resentment?
On an unrelated matter, what message does such mass immigration send to the expanding communist kleptostate vowing to complete its revolution by Borg-sorbing another free people, the one getting the mendacious producers of films like Barbie to ultra-needlessly include a drawing of their “Nine-dash Line”?
And watch how long Kennedy takes to respond to the same type of star-chamber-style ad hominem attacks the Epstein wing of the Democrat party have been making, in their defensive spasms, on unreproachable journalists like Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss, their only nonviolent strategy the same as that of their wokester foot soldiers’, character assassination, meant to distract from lack of facts and argument.
When Kennedy does eventually express his indignation, it’s by stating what has already been displayed without his guidance, that his assailants are trying to “defame” him, not wanting or needing to make any further claim about their actions.
Such a leader could and would restore Western-style dignity to an office bereft of it for seven years. Trump’s low-brow comporting of himself and his apparent incuriosity, tho proven to be much less limiting to his foreign policy than expected, is discomforting to most Americans.
Maybe we need more of it, especially the unpredictability part, but I sense Kennedy would bring the same into office, just on the low.
Kennedy’s leading favorability rating comes from averaging in the 40% of conservatives who like him, but among Democrats it’s already 25% and among “strong Democrats” 27%. I say “already” because I predict those numbers will grow.
(While I’m on that point, at least half of black males will vote for Trump if Kennedy isn’t an option.)
Kennedy’s being liked by Democrats, Republicans, and independents shows me that he actually could be a uniter, which I believe is another problem he presents for our oppressors, who to anyone looking with a macro-view are obviously interested in our division into identity groups they can incent to be at each other’s throats.
25% and 27% are high numbers for a contender who is challenging both his party’s orthodoxies and its sitting president. So of course here’s how DNCNN framed it:
“RFK Jr. has a big primary problem: Democrats like Joe Biden”
No. No, they don’t. Maybe CNN just forgot to mention Biden’s favorability. You can check your own sources for those numbers, while I remind you that the Democrats have been selling their candidates with fear and only fear for years. Here’s the uniter in chief they promised us, the one who told us that “our” patience is wearing thin with the unvaccinated, and that the Rittenhouse trial verdict disappointed him:
“Red Biden” indeed, and with him we’ll keep the retinue in control of our perceptions, in control of him, and in control of the narratives deliberately tearing the nation into warring tribes. Stoking fear and tribal hate to motivate votes is the cheap, reliable method of tyrannical leaders and the criminally disloyal—befitting maybe a CEO ruling from the top of a company, fixing to jump away with his golden parachute, but not a secretary at the center.
Juxtaposible.
Yes, I did just make up the last word. People who love their language long enough are allowed to take command of it at certain moments, if it pleases everyone involved.
If Kennedy is Bernied, and Trump falls from lawfare, the Left will notice that America’s choice has been made for it. They’ll notice that it was always after news broke of Biden or his son’s corruption that Trump got indicted. They’ll notice they had ignored Trump’s repeated exonerations—or been distracted from them—and they’ll finally wonder if President Biden’s actual, verifiable criminality is cause for concern, endemic.
It will all come down.
“People in this country know that the system is rigged, and they know that they’re being lied to.”
— Robert Kennedy, Jr.
(Fake news, folks. And the last election was very unfair to me, very unfair.)
At that point another lockdown producing increased Democrat mail-in voter turnout will seem suspicious to everyone. Those misled so easily before—about the laptop, the source of the virus, Pfizer’s testing, Fauci’s professional history, mRNA technology’s intended uses, Ivermectin, Vitamin D protective power, and the Oxford open-source vaccine that Bill Gates personally suppressed—will pass around data on the effects of using lockdowns as a strategy.
(Complete tangent, y’all… Did the Chinese schoolchildren wear masks in their classrooms? No? Weird.)
All would be suspicious to Democrat voters: a cyberattack said to come from Russia; a major war so devastating we couldn’t possibly switch horses or hold something so trivial as an election; a financial network investigation too distracting from what we need to do right now to save our democracy; the strange message uniformity of the media/propaganda outlets they trust; Biden’s lies about his involvement in his son’s business; the inexplicable pattern of the DNC’s preference for weaker candidates; the suspicious officials in charge of the improbable orchestration of mistakes during the Maui fire response; NATO’s bad-faith advancement one thousand miles eastward; the sex trafficking of tens of thousands of minors at our border; and the incessant vilification of a man who is essentially an unloved rich kid, the crass narcissist who happened to fix the economy and be right about everything.
Because of Kennedy’s candidacy, awareness of high shenanigans will reach critical mass by the time of the election, whether it is held at all. God save the king.
