Aren’t you a bit bored of politics? I can barely drag my eyes over the names Biden, Trump, and DeSantis by now. And the damn contest hasn’t even started. Have you tried reading about any of the news about those guys from, say, the Washington Post? How do you do it without becoming the type of person who thieves mood-altering drugs? Maybe that eight ball of cocaine was in the White House because without it the staffers would just fall asleep out of sheer boredom.
The only thing that kept me mildly interested was RFK Jr., because he would sometimes say true things that I don’t expect Democratic politicians to say. This week it was his speaking out against censorship to Congress and saying, “We have to elevate the Constitution, which was written for hard times.” You hear that line out of his halting voice, and it just doesn’t sound like the Democratic Party register anymore. It’s two whole clauses without a mention of white supremacy. RFK Jr. says false things too. The problem is I’m not status-blind when it comes to crazy — I treat crazy ideas according to their danger, not their class pedigree. I have a hard time getting worked up over RFK’s low-status views about drug companies. Nothing he says strikes me as being as dangerous as the high-status belief that young boys and girls can switch genders, which all his Democratic antagonists feel obliged not only to believe but to lavishly fund.
