The
@RobertKennedyJr interview on CNN was explosive. Not simply because he called out Biden for weaponizing the government against political opponents and censoring free speech, causing the collective meltdown of the DNC. But because he addressed real issues Americans are facing to an audience that, up until now, had been denied his message.
They heard that the left and the right use social issues to polarize the country and scare people into voting for their guy. RFK Jr. doesn't perpetuate that narrative. He knows we have more immediate threats to the existence of our nation and they are what we should be focusing on, like:
❗️The polarization itself. It's the most toxic it's ever been since the Civil War.
❗️The debt is at $34T and within 5 years, $.50 out of every $1 collected in taxes will go toward servicing the debt, which was run up by Biden and Trump. In their 8 years in office, they ran up more than every previous president combined. It will bankrupt our country.
❗️We're the sickest nation in the world. In the last 60 years, we've gone from 6% of people with chronic disease to 60%. One out of every three kids is pre-diabetic or diabetic. And we're spending almost 5 times our military budget to treat this epidemic.
❗️The middle class is broke. 57% of Americans can't put their hands on $1000 if there is an emergency in their family.
❗️We've lost the vision of the American dream that allowed people to own a house, save money, put away for retirement, and take a vacation on one income. Now most families can't achieve this with two.
❗️Our election process should be a model for the world, not so inferior that it is constantly questioned.
❗️Our foreign policy is now based around forever wars and projecting military power abroad instead of projecting economic power and moral strength.
❗️Most of these issues are the result of corporate capture, which is undermining our democracy. And the other two can't solve it since they're owned by Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, the MIC, big pharma, and big ag.
Kennedy said, "I try to be a candidate who is not running on rancor, not running on vitriol, not running on personal attacks, but is running based upon my record and based upon my ideas on the issues."
This is why the duopoly is running scared today, and personally, I'm loving every second of it.
