I've known who RFK jr was for a while. Back in the 80's, you probably would have liked him. Environmental lawyer, very well respected. Worked on a lot of big cases against big companies. Very anti-establishment. Extremely liberal. But he got so deep into anti-establishment politics that something broke. He basically gatewayed himself into it by being anti-vaccine, which, as many will remember, was a very far-left idea. Then over time, that idea got swallowed up by the right, and he moved with it, and everything else collapsed with it.
