In an advanced society, you have to deal with the fact that you won't understand how some of the things you use work or why some decisions are made. That's why we need institutional trust.
But who wants to hear that there are some things they'll never understand? That's what RFK thrives on.

This is obviously stupid, but the really strange thing is that RFK believes trust is a feature of totalitarianism.
Totalitarianism has nothing to do with trust. It demands obedience. Democracy, on the other hand, requires trust: you elect people you trust to lead you.

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

So I‘m just collecting stuff here.
The 22-year-old who allegedly shot Charlie Kirk came from a full-blown #MAGA family. His relationship with them was so good that he confessed the murder to his father who then turned him in.

So let me get this straight.
Kirk is getting praised for standing for thorough but peaceful debate.
His killer thought he was too tame.
The cries of his widow will echo like a battle cry.
Is she calling for aggresion/ violence against opponents, i.e. the very thing the killer wanted?

Sorry, but this was weird and very chilling.... and not because a young husband has just been tragically killed.
These people know nothing but escalation, division and hate in every circumstance.
Our equivalent is the thorougly dignified Brendan Cox. That's who I'll be thinking of today.

1/ Why is your foreign policy friend mad about Trump/Putin?
A lot of how international relations and diplomacy work in practice sounds cringe or fawning when you say it out loud.
One example is that for a foreign leader, a meeting with the US President is a privilege you must negotiate for.
