    He hasn’t implemented anything yet, so I’ll wait to see what happens before I judge the policies since we have no idea what will happen.

      Hold a brick above your foot and let go.

      You have no idea what will happen! It could be anything! It could even be a boat!

        But I know what happens when I hold a brick when I let it go. We don’t know what will happen when RFK takes over some public health agencies.

          You’ve dropped a brick on your foot, specifically? That exact sequence of events? Nothing else could prepare you to say what would happen. Was it a brown brick? Have you tried red? What about cinderblocks?

          We know goddamn well what putting a denialist crank in charge of public health would do to public health.

          This is the party trying to ban certain medicines. It’s gonna be awful for everyone. Anything else would be as surprising as if you let go, and the brick fell up.

                Comrade, I get it, you’re mad. But that doesn’t change the fact that Trump wants to put him in charge. He hasn’t implemented anything yet, so I’ll wait to see what happens before I judge the policies since we have no idea what will happen.

                  We have a crystal clear idea what will happen. You’re just acting gullible.

                  ‘Maybe it’ll go fine!’ Yeah and maybe he’ll discover infinite energy, or turn off the sun with a snap of his fingers. You never know!

                  And I do mean you never know. You’re espousing willful ignorance of the blindingly obvious, as if expected outcomes are a fucking mystery.

                  Any single one of this crank’s policies is a disaster, by itself. The antivax bullshit alone should be criminal. Altogether - it’s gonna be fucking awful, and your aggressive shrugging will not change that. Stop trying to excuse and diminish the severity of this problem.
