Thoughts on RFK Jr.

When I first heard about him fighting the clot shot I cautiously appreciated him despite being a Democrat who believes in some legalization of abortion.  When he was running for President as an Independent, I was concerned he’d pull away too many Trumpers and jeopardize the election.  But I was glad he joined Trump and the MAGA movement.

There is the question of how his mind works about problems in health care.  He once suffered from severe temporary dementia years ago thinking a worm had entered his brain and caused brain damage.  I support his antipathy to the health care system and food industry and zeal for reform in those areas.  I think any zaniness in his thinking on science will be checked by scientific experts on his team.  

There is the problem of his distant past of philandering, which today indirectly he admits as a problem in his past when he admits to a wild youth leading to wildness in his young adulthood.  The man was for a while a drug addict.  But now this man has since lived a very clean and healthy life.  He has the frame of a young professional athlete and is a good role model in his new role to Make America Healthy Again.  He has a big task ahead of him, and I trust he will do a lot.  It will be exciting to see. 

And then there is the question of his status as a Catholic.  It is true he is too steeped in social justice Catholicism, but part of that is simply being a traditional Democrat. He has been married three times, divorced, but I think is living a single life.  He attends Mass daily which says a lot.  Yet it is a problem since he has publicly supported legalized abortion.  I think this is his main flaw as politician.  Yet truth be told he has publicly affirmed he supports and will support Trump’s pro-life policies as I trust he will. 

So this leaves us with a man who is flawed like Trump now in a position to make major changes, to take on Big Health, Big Pharma, and the Food industry.  He is a very likeable guy.  A truth teller, authentic, outside of the mainstream controlled by the elites, a voice of the people.

Hopefully we can get him to oppose legalized abortion and drop any other socially liberal beliefs he might have.  At any rate, I am behind him 100%.
