The American political scene has devolved into two opposing cults: republicult and democult, with all the hallmarks of cultism: mindless unquestioning loyalty and obedience to its narratives (which are insane in both parties); mindless villainization of outsiders and alternative narratives; jaw-dropping hypocrisy in their flamboyant double-standards; extreme confirmation bias, etc.

Even Cornell West, whom I admire greatly, has serious intellectual/political blind spots that weaken his appeal for me. Thus, I, like an increasing number of Americans, am without a political home.

Yes, RFKjr is running as President, however more importantly he is running to be a voice for the concerns of millions of Americans and people around the world. He has garnered much more approval outside of the echo chamber than we ever imagined. Again, I say this as an RFKjr autism parent follower since at least 2005 when he was in the shadows of censorship for 18 years. I have had to find all his alternative platforms and join his Children's Health Defense Fund in order to keep up with his messages. Now everyone who has never heard RFKjr speak are spreading the previously unheard messages of concern to everybody.

PS Also RFKjr has accomplished a paradigm shift by uniting Americans across the spectrum of political parties and Independent voters. He can continue to do this in or out of office now that he has gained momentum for our causes.
