EXCERPT:
TRAISTER: "I mean, this is the faux outsiderism. It’s all connected to the cancel culture. When somebody disagrees with you or says that, in fact, the science you’re claiming is true is not true, that means you’re being shunned, you're being censored, you’re being canceled. There’s this the martyrdom of in fact often the very powerful white man, right? That is what Donald Trump has played on. A man with a very famous name like Kennedy, there are a lot of Trumpian aspects to Kennedy. You know, somebody who has been culturally central, who the media has covered for years before they got into politics, now positioning themselves as a brave outsider, you know, charging the walls. And it’s a lie, right? It’s not actually factually true, as that’s true of many of the conspiracy theories that he spews, too. But people are very eager for that myth."
