  • Slashed Autism Funding: RFK Jr. promised to identify the causes of autism but has eliminated parts of his agency actively investigating them and has cut millions in funding for autism research.
  • Silent on Rollbacks: Once an ardent environmentalist who took on big polluters, RFK Jr. has been silent on Trump’s dismantling of efforts to combat climate change and pollution.
  • Conflicting Priorities: RFK Jr. helps lead an administration that is reversing regulations on pollution and chemicals, including some linked to autism.

    Again, I disagree that RFK is a moron. He's a highly educated with a BA from Harvard and a master of law. He's from extraordinary privilege from possibly the most influential and powerful family in modern American history (excluding perhaps the Trumps now). He was a highly successful environmental lawyer who intimately understands politics, economics and psychology.

    He cynically uses that power, influence and education to manipulate people, exploit their fears and make himself richer and more powerful.

    He's a sociopath and an amoral cunt but he's not a moron.
