Why do ppl think this way.

Most people don't think at all, they react emotionally and rationalize their biases.

Most people have zero intellectual foundation, they are just surviving by whatever ways are most convenient.

People do not understand nor appreciate how government actually works, they are instead reacting emotionally to culture war issues.

That's what happens when the populace is poorly educated and lacks wisdom.

Endorsing Trump after the whole 2025 thing should immediately grant him a golden Olympic medal in stupidity.

I swear the intelligent stupid people are actually the most stupid ones.

Kennedy was willing to honestly compete in a Democratic Primary.  Instead they stacked the system in favor of a president they knew was becoming mentally impaired.   Then, the system makes it almost impossible for an independent candidate to compete due to arbitrary onerous rules.  Then Biden doesn’t give Kennedy secret service protection, putting his actual life in danger.  In light of the facts, his position doesn’t look that irrational.  It was the democratic party that rejected him.

Most people used to trust and truly believe in the government before Reagan became president.

The Republican party also did him dirty. 

However, he ultimately has no one to blame, but himself.

RFK seduced a few of my anti-vax spiritual friends during the past year and I'm really curious to see how they'll respond to this news. I wouldn't be surprised if they see it as a good move on his part. It has been incredible to watch typical stage GREEN hippies turn libertarian / anti-woke within a few years. There's even one gay friend of mine who believes Trump is a good person playing some kind of 5d chess...

This might be his thinking process, but it's a shoddy ratinalization. Incumbent presidents rarely get challenged in the primaries. Just 4 years ago when Trump was running for re-election and was challenged by Bill Weld, despite of that several states just decided not to hold primary elections (and that was before COVID hit). But of course this is hardly a problem for Kennedy because he wasn't the one affected by this at the time.

He is so entitled, a couple of years back, nobody knew about him, and now he wants to become a president all of the sudden?

Still voting’ for Jill Stein.

It would have been better for the Democrats if RFK continued as a third party, as he was taking more from the right base. At least he is less stupid than Cornel West on this move. Trump evades a significant loss of votes, and RFK gets a position in his cabinet, if he wins. Like it or not, it's fair game.

A ceasefire in Gaza could help Kamala, but Biden and his administration have been stupid on this. Netanyahu doesn't want it, personally, to avoid his corruption charges thanks to times of war, and politically, his objectives of destroying and depopulating Gaza as much as he can, so it's not happening. Netanyahu has Biden in his pocket, but he still prefers Trump. Democrats should have pushed a ceasefire much before, if not for Gaza, for themselves, by not aiding with infinite money and weapons. Now the dog is unleashed, catch it if you can. At this point in the race, you can't, or not as fast as you need to.

The race is on though, nobody wins until November. The next president will have two hot potatoes at least. One, to deal with Russia's victory over Ukraine, and Putin is not going to negotiate shit after the Kursk invasion, this may mean a total bye of Ukraine from the world map. Two, the Middle East, a pressure cooker about to explode at any time.

Trumps been courting RFK for a while, wouldnt surprise if trumps paid him off or offered him some kind of position or promised to further his anti-vaxx agenda. Reminds of the succession storyline where Connor Roy was running and he got paid off to drop out.

He was famous the day he was born.  He is intimately knowledable of all the big players in Washington D.C and has met with most of the world leaders.

 

I believe that the most effective thing Kennedy did is that he has potentially changed the message of Trump’s campaign.   In his speech, Kennedy focused on removing corruption from the food supply and solving the problem of chronic diseases in children.  When  people look at this they will ask themselves which party is doing something important?  What is more important: saving the children from chronic diseases or guaranteeing everyone is addressed by the correct pronouns (the focus of the democrat’s woke dogma)?   If Trump redirects his message (“Make America’s children healthy again”), he could change the momentum and gain support.  As a side note, Jill Stein is a physician and has also addressed this issue.  She authored the report: “In Harm’s Way:  Toxic Threats to Child Development”.

This is as delusional as thinking that Hitler would have treated Jewish people humanely if only he had better advisors in his cabinet.

In reality, the Heritage Foundation (which Trump is just a useful idiot for) is trying to destroy the very regulatory agencies that are responsible for keeping poison out of our air and food, and bullets out of our children's bodies.

Because Trump is the fucking Devil. He will throw everyone under the bus as soon as he is elected.

People honestly believe that they can elect a devil and then good improvements to society will magically happen? This is pure foolishness. The devil is not interested in improving society, he's there to destroy it.

Trump cares primarily about his ego, he could probably be convinced of doing almost anything if he thought it would give him heaps of praises.

Aside from what directly is about him and maybe some very specific issues he is dead set on, he mostly just listens to his advisors. 

RFK probably can’t do much sure, maybe he could threaten to leave Trumps admin if Trump doesn’t listen to him on some things.
