    He doesn’t need RFK to run the FDA, because Trump is going to just scuttle it entirely.

    Science bad! Doctors bad! Let the drug companies do what they want! Freedumb y’all!

        Not sure about Kentucky, but I know some wingers were concerned about a bill in Colorado and school funds meaning that the government would be peeking into how you did home schooling…so while they were not necessarily opposed to getting the government cheese for themselves, they were paranoid about “too much government” in their lives because they were getting money…

      You don’t really need that if you have access to money. You just get a real doctor, not one of the quacks that you drag out for political theater to appease the ignorant conspiracy loving base.

      US drugs unsafe? import them from europe or directly from the pharmaceutical company that makes them.

      The only people who get fucked by these decisions are the “normal” people without great wealth or connections.

      Eh, the qons would be all over it in order to yell “fuck your feelings” at any liberals they think his policies were hurting. I mean, he was talking about ivermectin again (JFC these people are all so very stupid), and bullshit about that is something that they will seemingly never stop going on about. They were willing to take ivermectin and die from Covid, just to own the libs, because: “fuck your feelings, libs!”

      So yeah, if enough of these brainstems thought that RFK jr was going to be hurting the “right” people, they would be in like Flynn on the craziness, even if their kids’ teeth were falling out as a consequence.
