    I worry RFK is going to use a combination of being exactly who we thought he was, moving just slowly enough for people to lose interest, and his boss’s tendency to demand all of our attention to do some truly awful stuff, and by the time we realize how awful it is it will be way too late to do anything about it

      It’s almost like that was exactly what they said they do, and what keeps happening over and over again… not that you’re wrong.

      This is called “plucking a chicken one feather at a time” as coined by Benito Mussolini.

      Didn’t he already effectively cancel Covid vaccines for most Americans?

      I’m not sure if this assclown is moving slower on other things but it seems most Americans won’t be able to get vaccinated against Covid thanks to this unelected asshole. And that’s within months of being in office. Meanwhile, I still see people with things like “Phuck Fauci” as a bumper sticker. Not sure what these assholes think Fauci did to them other than most likely save their lives, but…I’m sure they are cheering on moronic asshats like Bobby Brainworm here who is likely going to kill millions.

      I wonder if you’re ever going to be able to rebuild the USA. Especially if half the population die in the next pandemic with no vaccines.

        It’s completely fucked for the rest of my life at the very least. Progress moves too slowly and destroying what’s been gained goes unbelievably quickly. The democrats absolutely suck at their jobs and the republicans are extremely effective at what they do. Add that to whatever else trump is going to fuck up in the remaining three and a half years of his term and I don’t think we’re going to get anywhere for a long time.
