I don't think Kennedy will have any major impact on the Democratic party, at this time--particularly if we have another wave of Covid, between now and elections and he continues to beat the anti-vaccine drum. If he was running under another banner, I'd agree with you.
The difficulty, for me, is trying to explain to anti-vaxxers that though I am for the vaccine, I would love to see Big Pharma stripped of their influence in Washington, as well as their funding research into disease that focuses on management (with drugs) rather than cures of disease.
Another Trump administration would be a pure disaster, and it was a real life conspiracy that he won at all. So, In terms of conspiracy, it's not wise, in my opinion, to slur anyone as a "conspiracy theorist" until you examine their ideas carefully. If I wasn't a conspiracy theorist, I wouldn't understand the MAGA phenomenon.
We can easily see, through Cambridge Analytica and Flynn's Q-anon, that the radical right is quite capable of creating false environments and fake conspiracies (which is a conspiracy, in itself) to suck people in and essentially radicalize them. It's ironic that Kennedy appeared on Alex Jones as Jones is either a useful idiot or an intentional provocateur.
I appreciate your comment and understand how you feel. Best wishes to you, Elizabeth and all of those in the U.S. I know how hard it is. I left in 2003.
