If RFK became President at Biden’s age, that would be 2004 (which makes sense, I mean, who better to capitalize on anti-Iraq War sentiment?)i like to imagine an insane tl where rfk becomes president much later (say 1992) and rfk jr just becomes his hunter
what has dennis kucinich done for the ghettos?If RFK became President at Biden’s age, that would be 2004 (which makes sense, I mean, who better to capitalize on anti-Iraq War sentiment?)
“We may withdraw from Vietnam, but will that end racism?”what has dennis kucinich done for the ghettos?
reading clean gene’s interview in the mid 1990s about the campaign is funny cuz he gets all mad about rfk jumping in and making the race about “other issues” when those other issues were mostly helping the poor and fighting racism“We may withdraw from Vietnam, but will that end racism?”
you can tell the man was an amateur poetthe interviewer just writes (???) multiple times in his sentences. truly our greatest near-president!

Thanks I hate it. It’s a car crash I can’t look away from.eisenhower’s plan to overthrow nixon with some lady in 1960 succeeds, with oveta hobby beating nixon for the republican nomination
what follows is an insane general election, with hobby winning over “eisenhower democrats” in the south (SC, AR, and NC go republican), but the democrats, led by golden boy kennedy win more in the west and midwest (hello california), and still win, with kennedy choosing scoop jackson instead of lbj
anyway nixon gets all mopey and goes back to cali, just to sulk around and turn down various attempts to nominate him as president. he gets even more depressed when kennedy is assassinated by anti catholic wacko richard pavlick, which ushers in an era of chaos as scoop jackson calls for civil rights expansions and the far right goes hog wild
anyway scoop wins in 1964, with thomas dodd as his vice president, but gets gunned down by militiamen in 1967
dodd pretty much becomes an extreme authoritarian, starting the war on drugs early, arresting mlk utilizing the logan act, and utilizing the FBI to crush radical political opponents
he gets a solid win in 1968 (with sam yorty as his vice president/professional attack dog) but corruption and the dam breaking in 1971 get him thrown out
hilarity ensues during the short yorty administration, and he loses an insane 500 EV landslide to republican bob dole
dole is cool, but his death in 1974, along with the death of his vice president, the speaker, and the president pro tem cause his secretary of state, richard nixon, to enter power
this nixon is basically a mix of late-watergate nixon and the nixon the birchers thought they were getting in 64. his politics are more right wing, as he’s grown close with conservative groups, and operating out of a white house half decimated turns him even more paranoid
basically nixon becomes the nixon we all love to hate with mark felt keeping a reign on intelligence for him and the logan act being used for all kinds, even senators george mcgovern and john sparkman
by the end the opposition democrats are nearly crushed, but a small “mom and pop” campaign out of minnesota unseats the republican machine after nixon terms out

i’m sorry that you have terminal bitches deficiency
Oveta Hobby could step on me if she wanted idk
There’s something hilariously sad about RFK JR and Cuomo getting into a dumb fight in 2006, only to make up 15 years later as they’re both disgraced politicians now, and need to find a way to get back into the limelight.
i think i’ve been on this tangent before but the word “fraud” has no sticking power anymore after having my brain melted by nba twitter. like what’s really separating future alternate-timeline-president ron desantis and twitter user @LeGoatWipesJorGamble when you really think about it.
the lia thomas story and more importantly the reaction to it is a very obvious (but successful) distraction from the actual atrocities committed by republican governments towards transgender people, but let’s see how far this sports grift can go. when andy ngo is speaking at the 2024 rnc thats post-ironically located in san francisco can we get him to say “Lia Fraudmas”?
