heads i win, tails you lose: trump and RFK jr’s supporters both already know they believe insane conspiracies, so there’s no need to discuss what believing insane conspiracies says about their mental fitness to lead, but biden voters can be persuaded that biden may be unfit, therefore, biden old
2 of the top 3 candidates for the US presidency have shown a repeated willingness to believe any conspiracy dangled in front of them like a set of keys, including wildly anti-american ones, which are straightforward cognitive deficiencies for what we should demand in a president. neither are biden.

one of the most cowardly arguments i keep seeing from columnists is that nothing breaks through with trump supporters, so it’s a waste of time reporting on what he believes. this should be seen as a critically damning failure on behalf of the fourth estate. this means you failed. it’s not a pass.

this feels sort of like the "interesting times" Chinese curse but I feel like at some point you are destined for a columnist slot somewhere

lol, lmao. that will never happen, i don’t even think it *should* happen, there are enough white male columnists in the world, and i’m a gadfly, there are many, many, many people who are more thoughtful, interesting, and better thinkers than i am.

Gadfly has historically been the main requirement for political columnist
