  • I just don't know with this guy...

    Like 4/5 things he says make me think "holy shit, yes! The science has been clear for decades, highly processed food is the primary cause of obesity and probably more, but no one has been willing to actually take a stand against it". Even stuff like the camps for mental illness... Yeah, it sounds bad coming from an administration of fascists, but having a place where you can just exist as long as you need while doing chores is actually a sorely needed safety net that would genuinely make an enormous difference, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and many disorders are effectively treated by just letting people exist while doing basic labor

    Then I get to the fifth thing, and I realize "holy shit, this guy is just actually insane". It recontextualises the first 4, because if you get rid of highly processed food by killing the FDA people are just going to get straight up poisoned. And the mental health retreat turns into a work camp if it's no longer completely voluntary

    All in all, I don't know how to feel about the guy. Like, vaccines are probably going to become a mess of proprietary bullshit if we cut regulation and stop pushing for heard immunity... But they're probably going to become unaffordable and suffer the same fate with a replacement pick anyways

    But I think he actually believes what he's saying...I just think his brain is broken. Would it be better or worse to have someone who just wants deregulation because they were paid off? Would it even make a difference if the rest of the administration is going to use everything for the worst outcome through execution anyways?

    I just don't know how to feel about the guy... He's insane, but I'm certain I won't be on board with the replacement. He's a real wild card for sure... Who knows what he would achieve in either direction
