Today, I have a treat for you all! This is a guest post from a subscriber and very good friend. The political journey she has undergone in the last few years is a very interesting one. It’s also a journey that will be familiar to many other Americans.
Perhaps you too!
Enjoy:
“I’m old, granted, but not old enough to be an actual “Kennedy Democrat”. My parents hadn’t yet met when JFK was assassinated, and I was still 2 years from existence when RFK met his fate.
When Camelot reigned, my mother was a Canadian immigrant attending UC Berkley, and my father was a Navy man hoping to avoid the worst of Vietnam. My mom and dad were legit Kennedy Democrats, so I come by my politics and love for the Kennedy’s the old-fashioned way — via genetics.
Before we talk RFK Jr., I should come clean. I’m a sucker for conspiracies. I always have been, but the Deep State/government actions a la Trump and Covid took me all the way down several rabbit holes.
I don’t believe our government’s version of either Kennedy assassination. I think both were conspiracies — joint ventures if you will — between the CIA and the criminal underworld.
I think Lee Harvey Oswald was a CIA asset, and I think Sirhan Sirhan was probably duped into action via MK Ultra mind control. Like RFK Jr., I don’t think Sirhan’s bullets were the ones that ultimately killed his father.
I think our country was forever altered by these assassinations, and I thought RFK Jr. might’ve been our Neo, the one to save us, bringing the country back from what looks an awful lot like the brink.
I didn’t pay too much attention to RFK Jr. during his era of environmental lawyering and vaccine questioning. I didn’t know he successfully sued Monsanto for $290 million, nor was I aware that he was responsible for cleaning up the Hudson River.
I wasn’t up to speed on his heroine addiction, decades of sobriety, the wife who died, or the one who humanized Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm. I didn’t know he was JFK handsome, and I didn’t know he was brilliant.
I know all these things now, after following his campaign for more than a year. I saw him speak live in Los Angeles, last year, and I was blown away. His Peace Speech had me in tears, and his honesty gave me real and profound hope.
Conversely, I paid Trump all my attention, and I was not a fan. I was, in all honesty, an early victim of what was later coined Trump Derangement Syndrome, and I had it bad.
I didn’t particularly like Hillary Clinton, but I knew, absolutely knew, that she was head and shoulders above the joke that was Donald Trump. When he won the election in 2016, I was sure he did so nefariously, obviously with the help of “Russia, Russia, Russia!”
I had CNN or MSNBC on 24 hours a day, which drove crazy my boyfriend at the time, and everyone I worked with. I was certain the Mueller Report would bring him down, and I believed every bad take regurgitated by the mainstream talking heads.
I’d feel more shame about this, but I didn’t know what I didn’t know, and there was a well-crafted machine working overtime to keep me stupid.
Now it’s looking like my guy, RFK, Jr., will drop out tomorrow and endorse Trump (or he already has if you’re reading this after 8/23/24). I’m sad he’s leaving the fight, because I believe he was a once-in-a-generation candidate, with the actual ability to right our ship.
I’m angry at the mainstream media for doing the DNC’s dirty work, blacking out his campaign message, spreading lies, half-truths, smears, and slander. I’m furious at the DNC for all their dirty tricks against one of their own (literal Democrat Royalty!) and I will never forgive them for it.
That brings me back to this article’s title, the benefits of an RFK Jr. – Trump collaboration, RFK’s endorsement of Trump, and what the future could hold for our country.
These men share my aversion to the establishment, a motivation to unravel and undo Deep State power, and a plan to break the military industrial complex’s hold over politics and end the cycle of forever wars.
Since Trump acts off gut instinct, his beliefs are shallowly rooted; whereas RFK formulates his opinions based off extensive research, and his understanding thereof. Where good instinct meets knowledge, they make a powerful pair to effectuate actual change, real and long lasting.
Add to the mix a stable of young political talent, namely JD Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Tulsi Gabbard, and the future of America looks just a little brighter and on slightly less dangerous ground.
Throughout his campaign, RFK Jr. often said, “Give me a sword, a patch of land, and I will fight for you.” Couple that with the image of Trump, fist in the air, blood dripping down his face, chanting “Fight, fight, fight!” with the American flag billowing behind him, and I think we might have something aspirational here.
I may have lost my youthful optimism years ago, but I am feeling the faintest twinges of hope. Perhaps an RFK Jr. superhero cape for the Orange Man will be the thing that saves our Republic.”
I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did! Thank you very much for “guest-posting” today, dear reader. You know who you are.
Naturally,
Adam

I was as big an advocate for RFK as you could be without being on his staff…and I have never been a fan of trump, but this crazy world we’ve imprisoned ourself in with the bureaucratic state is going to take everyone filling their role. Trump’s role is to win the election, because he has the juice and the machine to do it. Sadly RFK was never given any footing. It was a glass mountain covered in seed oils. I’ll advocate for this unity because I dislike the state more than I dislike Trump.
This essay was moving and reminded me of my sister. She is a Democrat because she can't help it living in CA, but she seems to be becoming disgruntled. I encourage that by providing information and alternative data. I sent her this piece and her response was "Did RFK endorse Trump?" For me, RFKs endorsement was hard to miss, but if the deep state can use the media to keep people ignorant, then anything is possible.
