news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Why bother? He's a non-entity who is just going to start a guru cult after this campaign ruins his reputation. At best he'll get 1% of the vote. There's no point in anyone from any ideology targeting him for any reason.
I mean, I imagine that before this you could have dropped him and technically you would killed a presidential candidate
Even then who would that impress? JFK and his father were important sure, but an accelerationist goober like the Trump one seems to be would cause zero reaction. Not in me, MAGA cultists, liberals- it'd be a day of civility fetishism and jokes about the rule of 3s. If someone is just targeting the family name, surely there are more meaningful Kennedys out there. He's a presidential candidate in the same way any meme candidate is.
Maybe someone's partner has a compulsive sexual attraction to assassins

And low enough standards for RFK Jr to count? It'd be so underwhelming if there's no mystique to it. Like saying you'll cook a romantic dinner for your partner and then giving them a piece of white bread. Technically it's food but I'd expect to be dumped for it.
