RFK Jr.


Events at the Trump Center for the Performing Arts

Trump firing the board of the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts is hardly the most disastrous thing this administration has done in its first month, but it has the potential to be one of the tackiest. Trump is a bitchy NYC musical theater fan who was never welcomed in that world, so he’s remaking the Kennedy Center into Branson on the Potomac.

The measles outbreak in Texas and New Mexico is the latest in what will be years of lessons that the federal government actually did stuff before an apartheid guy was allowed to dismantle it for the LOLZ. The wrecking of our meager medical infrastructure and safety net are going to have even worse outcomes the longer this goes on, and if 2020’s covid response is any indication, people are going to get even crazier.

Kennedy/Brain Worm

Read the comic on Patreon.

It was reported this week that in a deposition, RFK Jr. claimed a brain parasite (and mercury poisoning) limited his ability to pay alimony. This is the kind of sound medical reasoning you’d expect from one of the most prominent anti-vaxxers who has encouraged the current resurgence of formerly preventable diseases, and stopped COVID vaccine uptake right when it needed to be ramped up.

As a third party candidate, RFK Jr.’s filling in the weirdo/crank void left by the late Lyndon LaRouche. If Kennedy can somehow siphon enough votes in the few counties that matter electorally to flip the result, that’s more of an indictment on the Democrats’ failure to run up huge margins in what should be the THIRD layup election against Trump. Especially when the alleged “spoiler” candidate is a literal quack with brain worms.

I wish there were viable third, fourth, etc. parties in this country. That could result in more parliamentary-style coalition building in Congress. They’d have to start running for offices lower on the ticket than president though, and none of these vanity presidential campaigns seem interested in doing anything like real political work.

RFK Jr.’s Kennedy Conspiracies

Read the comic on Patreon.

RFK Jr.’s been an anti-vaccine crank for decades and his primary challenge to Biden is ostensibly meant to appeal to Democratic primary voters, but he’s been doing nothing but indistinguishing himself from your average right-winger who spends too much time online.

He recently said some pretty heinous shit about Jews and China regarding COVID and even his family had to denounce him. Kennedy influence is finally waning in Massachusetts with this generation of nepo babies, and the the number of voters that instinctively check the box with that name next to it is shrinking every day. Thanks in part to RFK Jr.’s active role in killing vulnerable people with his COVID misinformation.
