Eh.
Republicans crash out 24/7/365. Doesn't matter. Our system is too flawed to hold them accountable and our populace is too stupid to prevent them from having power.
What does crashing out matter if you still get to run the show? I guess eventually the show collapses. But then we're all fucked because the system crashes.
I've been watching Republicans crash out my entire life. Doesn't matter when the populace is this braindead stupid.
Exactly. Nothing is fucking happening to any of these people that demonstrate how unfit for office they are every time they open their mouths. It creates a feeling of helplessness and a fury that will not subside without accountability.
You know what would really make Republicans crash out?
Democrats winning an election and not making a pithy response.
It's really super neat the way the radical right vilifies smart people while desperately pretending to be them. Very cool and stable worldview that will bring nothing but good things.
At their core they don't believe in merit. They believe in birthright.
The astounding progress humanity has made in the past few centuries doesn't happen without oppurtunity being, in some way, distributed based on merit. No country on Earth is a true meritocracy but the standard until very recently was feudalism where you're either born lucky or you're not.
For some right wing folk, there's not a lot to offer on the basis of merit so they'd rather move back to the coinflip model being lucky even if they have little to offer.
Look at RFK - does he really have anything to offer besides his name?
"you're not a scientist with all your "research" and "peer reviewed studies" and stupid "evidence"! You're not even wearing a lab coat! I've got a lab coat! You've got to respect me because my lab coat and my name tag says I'm a scientist! This guy doesn't even have a name tag c'mon."
/s hopefully obviously
"You think learning the specifics and intricacies and dedicating a chunk of your life to furthering your understanding of complex systems and decades navigating the rigors of academic study makes you a scientist or something?"
Also super neat that the non-radical right is just the Democratic leadership and the dead-fucking center get called the radical left and the actually slightly left are the Red Menace.
i feel like the "Center" is more center right than not.

He doesn't even believe in germ theory of disease. It's hard to think of a less qualified person to be secretary of health.
That reminds me of Terrance Howard Math! The basics are so completely wrong that anything after it is already wrong.
He was hired to take revenge on the medical industry because Covid embarrassed Trump and probably caused him to lose the election.
I was so worried that covid would be the ultimate excuse for him to rally people over his failing policies and crashing economy (we were heading to depression / crash before covid!) Then he fucked up the easiest handout of public good and caused millions to needlessly die.
Then he fucked up the easiest handout of public good and caused millions to needlessly die.
Well you see he thought people in "blue cities" would be the ones to die and was 100% ok with that.
Yup. He was hired to take orders, not do good.
Which is crazy because for any sane president, covid amounted to serving up the election on a silver platter.
"Follow the guidance of the scientists and we'll all get through this together." would have gotten him north of 65% of the total votes, and probably near the Reagan/Mondale level of electoral college victory.
He has also said that the cause of AIDS is poppers, not HIV:

Good fucking luck Americans.
So prove us wrong RFK, and take an injection of HIV.
Yeah, he can do that, and I'll take poppers. The first one to contract AIDS will get $500,000 from Mr. Beast!
Wait if he doesn't believe in germ theory, what the other fuck theory is there to believe in? Don't tell me he's a bloody miasmatist?
I think that he believes that people get sick because of [ insert alternative medicine here ], and then the microbes follow. So basically he inverts the arrow of causality, because as the interviewer points out, he is not a scientist.
Flatearther
wormeater
he is a miasmatist...
He can believe or not believe however the fuck much he wants. I still don't know why "belief" is used so interchangeably with understanding, by basically everyone. When this angonizing hemorrhoid says "I don't believe in germ theory" what he really is saying is "I don't understand germ theory". Germs are there whether he believes or not.

rare Dana Fasch W
Him: You’re not a scientist
Her: NEITHER ARE YOU ^(emphasis added)^
And then he continues to barf up the same conspiracy theories and lies on repeat that have been swilling around (disproven/unproven) for the last 15 years
Until we get large cases all suing him direct for his harm he won't stop. A single large case will sink him, no one care about him. Trump and Co are only with him because he needed the votes and Harris wouldn't allow him to join. Get a judge to rule it, bankruptcy can't get out of it and poof... He would be so dead broke the entire U.S. billionaires would say wait? A Kennedy can't afford a room?
(If you don't think so, look at the state of the Giuliani family.. and that's when his side won)
The only sane thing ive heard him say is, exercise is healthy and you should eat non processed foods.
But this is a pretty well established fact..
The ret of the shit he says is just weird
and you should eat non processed foods.
Pasteurization is a process.
That alone has prevented countless deaths.
The rest of the shit he says is just weird
The rest of the shit he says is actively dangerous to your health and mental wellbeing.
I appreciate the type of person that corrects a typo when quoting someone. It requires being in a very narrow band on the spectrum.
