        My only hope for the future is that younger generations seem to not care about “political dynasties”. I’ll never understand the boomers obsession with ensure one family keeps power for generations. It doesn’t make sense

          I listened to the Behind the bastards podcast episodes on the Kennedy family, bunch of fucked up people, but because of JFK and RFK they’re spoken about like royalty. Never mind that if they had lived, they would have become crooked career politicians like all the Kennedys

          Edit: that podcast has great episodes on RFK jr as well and the insanity that is his life story. When Rfk jr is your roommate in college, he keeps a hawk on a perch by the bed, and his side of the fridge is full of roadkill.

            There’s an episode of red dwarf that centers on that. They accidentally save him from being shot and the entire country falls apart because all his business comes out.
