robert f Kennedy jr is getting a lot of attention from the right and from the kind of tech right in particular who seems to be funding him. i think it's mutual opportunism him and his right wing tech backers you know david sachs like it's hard for me to believe that he actually wants rfk jr to fully succeed or be president. I'm just cynical of course and the problem is we do a version of this a slayed about this but i wrote something for slayed about these kinds of things.
