The latter. In American politics, anything before about 90-days to the primary vote is considered "silly season". It is when the nuts come out to play. At around the 90-day mark the two political parties start heavily funding the candidates they intend to win the nomination and the nuts wither away. It is supposed to be a display of how open-to-all-comers our system is while making sure the power of the two political parties isn't actually challenged. Enjoy the show.

Nice reasonable take from the Daily wire coming from the same guy who called for the eradication of trans people.

This is conservativism today?

The culture wars are in large part a reactionary lurch against modernity. Few things more futile in the long run. Recall that philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn explained how new paradigms destined for acceptance do not receive that acceptance until the earlier generation opposing change simply passes away. Or, as it’s been put: science advances one funeral at a time.

All this is to say, from my perspective, come back to the United States in 50-100 years and you won’t find us living in a pre 1950 world. The war against modernity will fail. Not that conservative concerns are meaningless, I share a lot of conservative values myself.

RFK Jr. has been fighting against vaccination and other causes. He's not in politics. I guess he's using this as a platform.

Oh, so he's trying to translate his political name into more guest spots on Fox News and book sales since everyone is realizing what a whackaloon he is. That tracks.

I thought he had already been a senator or somesuch, but maybe that was one of the siblings or cousins.

I have said for years that if Teddy Kennedy was a better driver, he would have been president, but I realized it's not going off the bridge that was the real problem, it was getting out and then just leaving. So if he was a better swimmer and had gone back down and tried to get her out, or, even if he had just sat down and cried. Instead he went home and tried to ignore it.

***EDIT*** I just went and looked it up, he said he tried to go rescue her, diving back under 6 or 7 times. But there was no proof, like an obviously shattered window or something.
