Bonus Sample: Bobby Kennedy Scares You Shitless And Makes You Swoon

Bobby provokes a “disorganized attachment” response in would-be followers.This is the emotional vortex that begins to churn when a charismatic leader draws followers into a vision of the world as irrevocably broken, poisoned, dangerous, full of lies and betrayal. But he doesn’t just scare them. Somehow, he also promises an island of salvation in their sea of doom. This is Bobby’s pattern.  It’s clear that his misinformation on everything from supposed vaccine danger to the supposed totalitarianism of COVID mitigations is not a description of the world so much as a ghoulish parody of it. As the creator of that vision, in which solutions seem so out of reach, he stands alone as the wizard who can repair it.  Show Notes Joe Rogan's worst misinformation yet, with RFK Jr.—Dr. Dan Wilson bad_stats Rogan debunk Twitter thread  How Robert F.
