He’s a sperm counter.

It’s honest work counting those little wigglers.

I swear to god we have a used car salesman for a president and a snake oil huckster for secretary of health. It goes downhill from there. Everyone talks about fascism but the kakistocracy is fucking real.

hes also on roids.

It's not the world thankfully, just their corner of it.

Imagine if we were all run by people like that, I think WWIII would happen randomly on a weekly basis haha :-(

I recall a few Republican state legislators in at least one state proposing that veterans be given permission to marry girls under the age of marriage; I guess as a treat. (and sex between them would be "okay" because they're married. These same legislators want to ban divorce.)

I'm terrified that this might actually be what he said.

Put a picture of Trump under the pillow before you go to sleep. During the night, the supreme wisdom of Trump will be focused by the pillow and absorbed by your subconscious mind. In the morning, you’ll just know the correct answer.

Also works with university exams. No need to read any books as long as you have the photo of the relevant professor under your pillow.

Hmmm, even if we allow for empirical scientific evidence, is there a non weird way he knows about the sperm count in the semen of adolescents? I hope he's making shit up because the alternative is a lot grosser

It was on his Facebook group. Same way he gets all his information.

Well, they are the Geriatric Old Pedophile party.

"I don't know the science behind it." Applies to his every claim.

He’s the way he is because of how they treated Rose. He’s almost guaranteed to be ADHD, maybe ASD too. The psychologists at the time didn’t really recognize it until the 1960s, and that wouldn’t mean widespread acceptance of the idea. Before that they called it something else entirely, and the common use of drugs like Ritalin and Adderall for ADHD didn’t happen until the ‘80s even though they existed far earlier.

So this dude was shipped off to boarding schools because he’s a “problem child” and a Kennedy. He was uncontrollable in schools, couldn’t stick to anything, got kicked out of boarding schools, and the only reason any of the schools put up with his shit at all was because he was a Kennedy. Got into drugs because that can happen to untreated ADHD people and people who have f’d up home lives. All this was swept under the rug by the Kennedys because they didn’t want the press to get wind of another Kennedy with “mental problems” and a drug problem. So he went untreated and unhelped. The worst thing that could happen to him was that he was born a Kennedy.

our parents aren’t having children

If someone doesn't have children, they're... Not a parent.

Unless you RFK means people with a child already, which makes no sense (and never did) except to religious nuts.

People aren't cats to have litters of up to 6 kittens, and kids don't grow up in 6 months.

They need to be fed, clothed, medicated and educated for 18+ years!

P.S. If you dump your kids out on their 18th birthday, spoilers! You're a bad parent.

hes also a serial womanizer, slept with hundreds of woman and has a journal of sexual conquests and also to hurt her deceased wife drove her to suicide.

This whole fertility thing is so weird

The fertility thing comes across as so weird because its an actual problem that Republicans don't want to solve in any reasonable way because that will involve threatening their donor's bottom lines. Basically across all developed nations with easy access to birth control, education and modern mechanisms birth rates are falling and in many countries these rates are already well below replacement rate (2.1 children per couple, not percent like RFK Jr said)

The United States was consistently staying above replacement rate via immigration but I have a nasty feeling that isn't the case anymore

The reason replacement rate is so important is Capitalism really depends on growth companies gaining new customers. The stock market in particular relies on new wallets to spend money, homebuilders rely on new people to build homes for, and offices rely on new employees to hire. When populations start stagnating or worse shrinking, Capitalism really starts to fall apart as that causes an ongoing recession as fewer wallets in an economy means less money flowing through an economy. Less money moving through an economy means a smaller GDP which means the the economy ultimately shrinks. Bad economic conditions also lead to people feeling less certain about bringing a new baby into the world so the cycle tends to accelerate before the actual population decline can accelerate noticeably

The obvious solution is to decouple necessities of life from capitalism and significant state investment into improving existing infrastructure and planning for degrowth so that a long term recession and the effects of declining/re-balancing populations do not negatively impact the masses living through them. This is of course antithetical to capitalist and conservative goals, so as they realize this looming threat is upon them they're getting extremely weird about it and trying to find ways to get more families to have lots of babies to try to reverse the trend.

In short, these republican pundits are trying to have a serious conversation about what could be an extinction-level event for capitalism without cluing in the masses to the flaws of capitalism or the fact that its an entirely man-made crisis that doesn't actually involve any scarcity of the necessities of life

They’re so weirddddddd.

I prefer "they're so pathetic." It is way more accurate.

They can't get it up with their wives because they're really not into women, and/or their wives aren't into their piglike Nazi husbands. But they can never admit that to themselves, so there has to be some external factor to blame.

Sexual anxiety, in all its forms, is a big part of the fascist formula. It ties into and reinforces the patriarchy stuff, the othering, the racism.

The entire conservative movement is about children's genitals and tax breaks for the rich

It's his ASD hyperfixation

While I am sure he would love it if he had made it mandatory to have all children in the country submit nude photographs of their children to him (for health and scientific research, of course... and they need a set taken on their birthdays from ages 1 to 17 from multiple angles and poses in order to make sure that they are developing correctly you see. No perv stuff!) The part where he said he could diagnose the kids was not when they were naked.

Or maybe I didn't hear the full quote, I don't remember.

Dumbest timeline so far.

Yeah but what was their jizz like?

Yeah, it's probably a combination of anecdote, ignorant interpretation of that anecdote, and some grifter using that to make a buck selling a quack remedy. Also, like Trump, RFKJ just has a habit of chatting shit.

They both taste very different, which he finds concerning

Is that the anti-fluoride general from Dr Strangelove?

I had to scroll too far down to see this 😂

You’re partially misguided, he’s saying girls are ready to have babies younger than before but young boys aren’t up to the task so we need old men to do it.

Also Trump started dancing when he said that girls are hitting puberty 6 years earlier than they used to which is an odd response.

Still Epsteinish but not gay.

He was checking them out at the airport last time, for signs of “mitochrondrial challenge”.

His proposal is too let scumbags his age rape teen girls and force them to deliver the babies to help with declining birth rates.

Our replacement rate has been low for a long time, but our population has stayed relatively steady.... because of immigration.

Low replacement rate is only bad if you're racist/xenophobic. Otherwise there's usually (in a supposedly first-world country) an easy solution.

And if you think this is a dig on specifically the US, it isn't. Japan and South Korea are about to have insane difficulties with a very obvious and simple solution, and the US had that solution and are destroying it in favor of racism and xenophobia.

So senior men are more aggressive, more horny, stronger and hairier than teens?

I'm old. I'm definitely hairier. I'm also stronger than I was as a teen, though far weaker than I was as a young adult. I also weigh 50% more than I did as a teen, and some of that's extra muscle. So those points aren't really relevant.
