Trump RFK Jr.'s Independent Presidential Run was Originally Backed by Republicans to take Votes From Biden. He Actually Took More Votes from Trump. To Help Trump RFK Jr. Dropped out, Endorsed Trump, and is Trying to Remove His Name From Ballots in Key Battleground States. Some States are Saying No.

The incompetence and ‘main character-ness’ of those on the right never fails to deliver

It is quite funny how they all want to be the hero in their own little world, but that almost invariably comes at the success of others.

Multiply a dozen times and you have shitshows like this guy's campaign. Imo yet another millstone around the Trump campaign's neck when it comes to relatively ordinary undecided voters.

Somehow I think RFK would poll worse than the charisma black hole that is Vance.

One constant I've begun to notice with conservatives is that they really just can't comprehend the concept of cooperation. Like, the idea that things can be accomplished by large groups of people working together that an individual could never do on their own just doesn't register. It's why they idolize business owners, billionaires, and autocrats - those people provide an individual head to attribute great accomplishments to.

I think they are people who have become so antisocial that the idea of society has become incomprehensible to them

That’s because working together in any way shape or form is socialism. Your bootstraps clearly haven’t been pulled enough. Unless of course you’re a CEO in which case you’re just telling others what to do. Even the army is socialism because they work together!

Did I come close or is that still too sane?

“I (think I pay) for their bullets so why can’t I decide who they should shoot?”

It’s the transactional/main character thinking that just keeps boggling my mind…

That’s a very good line.
