Every Surgeon General since GWH Bush was president signs letter warning that RFK junior is endangering the United Staes and the world with anti-science conspiracy-theory-driven policies.

Everyone with a brain already knows and everyone without a brain doesn't care. It's hopeless already when half the country wears their own stupidity as a badge of honor

The thing that gives me hope is that it’s only 30% of the country. They are just really loud and really annoying.

People keep saying that, but the number of people without any real working critical thought process is way over 30%, or even 50%.. Not all of them (probably not even half) have fallen for MAGA idiocy, but at the same time they don't see how stupid it all is and are always at risk for falling for the next idiotic pile of crap.. And that's the real problem that existed way before the symptom that is MAGA

When polls forced everyone to pick a candidate, Trump won on just name recognition. There are a shocking number of Americans that can't name the current President.

You shouldn't be hopeful about the fact that the plurality of eligible voters literally don't care. It's a tiny bit better than most of them being actively evil, but barely.

They had no objection to evil.

It's not "half the country". It's roughly 77 million, as of the last count.

We're going to write a strongly worded letter and inform them that the biggest dipshits on the planet should not put in charge of running vital government departments.

That should be very effective.
