solarbird | kennedy as trump’s shadow running mate

The last couple of days – basically since Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs Kennedy dropped out of the race and endorsed the Cheeto – the idea that he’s going to be Trump’s shadow running mate, sort of a second and unofficial vice president and/or vice presidential candidate.

I mean, the two obviously work better together, they’re both old white Boomers and similarly detached from any interest in actual reality.

(CCPK was out there saying their administration would ban “chemtrails?” Which aren’t actually things, it’s just seriously antique conspiracy theory? If you want to say you’re gonna break physics to stop water vapour from forming that’s one deeply weird flex.)

If he thinks the Kennedy family name is going to stop people from thinking their whole fascist parade is any less weird, holy shit, have you met the dead bear in Central Park or the chainsawed whale head on top of his car? This doesn’t even get into his disease-promoting vaccine denialism, though I guess that does fit with the whole GOP “Party of Plague” thing they’ve had going for the last few years.

Anyway, I’m no longer the only person thinking that Kennedy will be kind of de facto running as Trump’s VP candidate. Some people are even speculating that he’ll even get swapped out on the ticket, though that seems very unlikely to me – since it’s post-nomination, it does create actual legal issues if Vance stays healthy and doesn’t just quit.

So get out there and make sure your lowest-info white voter family and friends know that just because he’s got Kennedy as a surname does not mean that he is, in any way, actually okay.

Because on so very, very, very many levels – wow, he is not okay.

69 days remain.

(no, I’m not saying it)
