Our breathtaking icon was bestowed upon us by @Cevilia!
The greatest banner of all time: by @TheOneWithTheHair!
He is telling people to eat more meat, which sounds absolutely insane to me.
Green planet, veganism, healthy ... all woke lefty communist snowflake bullshit. Eat meat, must be more gooderer. Eat more meat must be most gooderest!
What qualifies him to give health advice ? Why are americans trusting him ?
For those that are listening to him. It's because he's pandering to what they want to hear. Not because what he's saying is right.
America is not a meritocracy. People are routinely appointed to positions they have no business being in.
Also, Kennedy represents a crowd that is fundamentally lost to a social media reinforced "vibes based" reality. These people can live a solid major of their day without encountering objective reality. Their worlds are built around bullshit machines incentivised to feed them an ever increasing amount of bullshit.
These people votes, drive cars, have children, and carry firearms. So you can see why this place is so fucked.
When was the last time you ate more or less of something because someone in the government told you to?
Corn syrup yesterday
I certainly don't take health advice from that crypt keeper looking fucker, and I'm sure I'm far from the only one who doesn't take health advice from unhealthy people
Having a former heroin addict in the highest health policy position is nothing compared to voting a fraud and pedophile into the highest office in the country. Twice!
because he brought beef tallow fries back
if you have not had the pleasure will instantly change your opinion
beef tallow fries are fucking awesome
steak n' shake is one of the places where can find everything fried in beef fat not just the fries but the onion rings chicken tenders everything
even offer beef tallow by itself to fry with at home
plus addicts know their healthcare paraphernalia and can find a vein better than any nurse
Are fats part of eating real foods?
Yes. Healthy fats are a natural part of real foods such as meat, seafood, dairy, nuts, olives, and avocados. These fats support brain health, hormone function, and nutrient absorption when consumed in their natural forms.
They are really pretending meat has healthy fat, lol?
If they had simply left out that single word, their advice on fats would have been pretty good.
RFK Jr. wanted to lead the USA's health department against a believed massive conspiracy by big-Whatever. Trump gave RFK Jr. a slot so RFK Jr. didn't split the far-right crazy vote in the 2024 election.
In 2024, RFK Jr. launched an independent bid for the presidency after floating challenging Joe Biden's spot in the Democratic Party. RFK Jr. had no chance of winning the Democratic primary or an independent bid; but being a conspiracy theorist and all-around horrible person, it was possible that RFK Jr. may have split enough of that population from key states to cause Trump to lose. That conspiracy theory nonsense really doesn't hold water in the Democratic voter base. The folks who would choose RFK Jr. over Harris or Trump, would otherwise choose Trump over Harris.
Recall that in 2016, Trump won many key states with <54% of the vote; and in 2020, Biden flipped those key states after Trump's mismanagement of the Covid-19 pandemic and other controversies. Even losing 3% of the popular vote in a few states to RFK Jr. may have cost Trump the election in 2024, or so it was feared.
Lots of people here are giving explanations of why the citizens may support RFK Jr. and, while that is all true, the reality is most of Trump's campaign staff are just loyalists (i.e. Pam Bondi), alt-right conspiracy theorists (i.e. Kash Patel), and folks who assisted in his election campaign (i.e. Elon Musk, Dr. Phil). Many of these are figures are people largely unknown of until they were appointed to be Trump's staff. RFK Jr. leads the HHS because he was given that role by Trump. As to why the USA folk chose Trump; Well, we've been having that conversation for 15 months now.
Fox News. Endless propaganda and ratings driven idiocy. People watch the most alarmist "news" and they jump on this bandwagon of stupidity. In particular, people of limited education/intelligence love to be anti science, because for once they can feel like the person that is actually smart.
It's scary.
More simple than you'd think, dumb people only trust other dumb people's advice, there is no cure for stupid, unfortunately
Uneducated populace stuck in propaganda channels.
We aren’t. Most of us aren’t anyway.
Because we are being led by a convicted felon who sexually assaults his child employees.
Only americans can put the question this stupid way, and so it really fits here: Well done!
We aren't. We just have one giving it.
Hold on, we don't know if he's still on heroin.
Because he has money, and you don't.
He such a fucking dumbass even if we have some ovelapping nutritional beliefs and predilection for the ol' narcotics
When you’re famous they let you
I gotta say, from an Australian perspective, American politics is so extra, like an ex heroin Addict becoming the health minister, and some coked up orange business man who thinks he’s the second coming of Christ is the president? And the USA became fascistic in like a year? That’s wild
Aussie politics is just a boring ass democracy with some of the spicy American inspired silliness for the aesthetics, as well as most people being on the same page but like 2 politicians arguing about some insignificant idea somehow appearing on national news, or that group of people who want Albanese dead for just existing, which is a bit odd I gotta say.
Former heroin addict. Now say that in the RFK voice.
There's a half-naked photo of him, where he's swole, then people decided he looked "healthy", because the body building community managed to control the narrative around the health implications of the sport.
3 post, no comments. Less than a day old. You a bot?
But I’m American and I’m not taking his advice. He’s a moron.
People got tricked to vote between a pedophile and a guy with dementia and this guy ended up in power as a result.
If you wonder why people trust authorities so much we own part of that to centuries of living under rulers and people getting leashed.
