This Guy Is The Spoiler?

There are more people alive today who remember Ross Perot than remember RFK. For that matter, there are more people alive who remember Clinton’s presidency than remember RFK as JFK’s AG. I remember RFK mainly for his eulogy of MLK the night of King’s assassination. Hell, I still have my 45 of Deon’s “Abraham, Martin and John. And if you don’t catch the relevance of that…that’s my point.

RFK, Jr. is a name to few people, especially among voters.
His name gets him far more attention than he deserves. And his ideas don’t deserve the attention. His name is not really a protective amulet. Clinton traded in the Kennedy mystique/legacy (he was certainly the hound JFK was), all the way to noting he me JFK when Bill was young. But that was 35 years ago, and it was the last revival of “Camelot” in American politics.

His name means people on Twitter pay attention to him. But it doesn’t mean he’ll ever be elected dog catcher; or anything else.
At least the “military-industrial complex” made sense in the context of anti-war protests in the’60’s. “Bio-security agenda that will enslave the entire human race” sounds like something from a bad comic book. It’s also completely nuts. Which makes sense of this: This is Gramsci’s famous interregnum, in which all kinds of morbid symptoms appear. But the interregnum ends when the primaries begin, and none of the people mentioned are going to be on the ballot, or get Kennedy on the ballot. He has all the qualities of a homeless guy shouting at cars. And aside from electric cars, none of those people have shown any ability to polish a turd. In a second tweet, the video shows Joe Rogan responding: “We’ve got to get rid of wi-fi.” And this is the guy who would moderate a “debate” between Kennedy and Dr. Hortez. 🤷🏻‍♂️
