Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made significant progress in gaining support from both his party’s potential primary voters and conservatives. However, it is crucial to remember that despite his redeeming qualities, Kennedy is a staunch liberal.

While he may not be a leftist, Kennedy’s political views lean much further to the left than his campaign for “reconciliation” suggests. He represents the Democratic Party of the past, before it was overtaken by socialist ideologies, anti-Semitism, and an obsession with identity politics and extreme gender ideologies.

Nevertheless, Kennedy’s appeal to many voters lies in his sensible approach to issues such as COVID policy, free speech, and common sense. He has been a victim of Big Tech’s politically motivated censorship, aligning him with those who have experienced years of suppression.

Kennedy also advocates for free speech and opposes collusion between big business and government to enforce censorship. He strongly opposes environmental, social, and corporate governance in banking and supports the use of bitcoin to protect economic freedom.

However, there are areas where Kennedy’s views diverge from conservative values. He supports abortion, gun control, same-sex marriage, punishment for businesses rejecting climate change narratives, amnesty for nonviolent drug offenders, and limits on mining, logging, and oil drilling. His extreme stance on corporations sponsoring climate lies even includes advocating for their “death penalty.”

Furthermore, Kennedy’s positions on other issues remain vague, leaving voters uncertain about his plans and strategies. His campaign website lacks specific details on how he intends to achieve his goals.

While Kennedy’s candidacy has stirred undemocratic elements within the Democratic Party, it is essential to recognize his extreme side. His language regarding abortion and incarcerated individuals raises questions about his views on the sanctity of life and justice.

Additionally, the potential impact of Kennedy’s Supreme Court nominations is a cause for concern. It is unclear who he would choose to fill vacancies, and whether they would align with conservative values or lean towards far-left activism.

Ultimately, voters must carefully consider the implications of supporting Kennedy and whether his liberal stance aligns with their values. The Republican primary field offers candidates who share conservative principles without the baggage associated with Kennedy’s candidacy.
