Robert F. Kennedy’s has, rather ingeniously, situated himself at the intersection of the most important trends in American politics and society, including but not limited to post-COVID anger at government overreach, the polarization of vaccine skepticism, the rise of anti-institutional crusaders in the GOP, the emergence of performative health as a branch of pro-masculine politics, and the triumph of anti-elite elitism. His specific views may not deserve support. But his political style deserves attention.
