Writings were on the wall for the Roman republic for a long tine before it happened. Same with the US today.
This is not the same thing. This is a concerted attack from within, these people are deliberately dismantling a democratic society for personal profit.
If we ever recover from this fiasco, we're going to have to do some serious reckoning of how to avoid it in the future.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
-Abraham Lincoln, Lyceum speech, 27 Jan, 1838
“Against stupidity we are defenseless.
“Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed — in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical — and when facts are irrefutable, they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack.”
— D. Bonhoeffer
I am kidding but I doubt he knows the cause, it is a complex issue.
But RFK Jr doesn’t seem to care about facts or truth or objective reality as much as he cares about pushing a simple narrative.
In his narrative-driven reality, there is nothing which can’t be blamed, including Democrats.
The timeline he set for himself was artificial. His assertion that it was for sure caused by environmental factors and his department could find it in a few months was artificial.
His team clearly used AI (without reasoning features and without ensemble challenges) to write public documents, leaving the hallucinated research footnotes in the document.
He clearly doesn’t care about accuracy precision or truth, so he very well may announce some cause in September. I’m sure his _Children’s Defense Fund_ has their own “research” which draws conclusions that he will most likely crib from.
I'm struggling to think of any legitimate reason for not telling us right now.

I can only consider that this is a purposeful attack on the American people and government credibility from the top. And if so, how could someone be so influenced to follow it through? Is it just a personal hatred of Americans justifying harm to them?

What bold does reality & truth have these days. A revolt against reason, a revolt against truth, a revolt against a nation. This whole era has seen the rise of such a vicious enemy against the world. #HostisHumaniGeneris
(Some of these may be semi coincidental to what's coming next, but it's all part of the same insurrection against science.)
