The right has been very effective at capturing our country's idiots.
They have an answer for everyone. RFK was to capture the people who froth and rave about vaccines and essential oils and alternative cancer treatments involving incense and crystals and shit. These people have had their weird scams and delusional narratives beat down by the larger population of slightly more intelligent people for decades, so it was very smart of the right to grab those people with their very own political messiah in the form of RFK.
They targeted every dumbfuck specifically with an answer to their feelings of frustrations for being a dumbfuck.
The left sees dumbfucks with stupid ideas and we go "We need to shame them for their bad ideas and teach them facts and logic that they can't possibly connect with" and the right sees them and goes "We can use them."
And we wonder why we lose so much ground to obvious clowns.

"STOP ATTACKING ME!!!!"
