“One of the critiques of your candidacy or even your public profile is that you traffic routinely in conspiracies and that kind of conspiracist mindset where almost everything that we take for granted is bad.”
I’m not a big fan of Nick Gillespe, but he wiped the floor with RFK Jr. here.
He is dangerous.
I don’t nessesary disagree with everything he says, but this mindset is institutionalizing dangerous non science based decision making.
I think it’s fine to have theories but for a lot of the “conspiracy theorists”, it’s a philosophy, a religion, an ideology independent of reality. It requires belief, faith and a lot of mental gymnastics to believe you know the truth and everyone else is absolutely blind to it. And people build their personalities on these things and then you just get to a point where to admit you’re wrong would mentally destroy you.
