“Now, I don’t avoid women, Mandrake, but I do deny them my essence!” 

“Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face”

The anti-fluoridation conspiracy theory is so old and crazy that Stanley Kubrick warned us about it in Dr. Strangelove (1964). For a half century it was THE political litmus test for nutjobs. RFK Jr is now trying to normalizing it.🙄 pic.twitter.com/ylpk4Kzm7r https://t.co/iPVCiS4ZEm

Anti-flouridation conspiracy theories were a staple of Bircher propaganda back in the day. It was so ubiquitous that Dr. Strangelove, 1964, mocked it in the greatest satire of the right ever made.

Unfortunately, we are not living in a movie satire. Check this out:

That would be just another crazy RFK rant except for this:

R: You're comfortable with his views on vaccines?

The Republican Party continues to show itself to be completely spineless toadies. If Trump pulls out a win he will be seen as the unbeatable Colossus, a literal god, and they will do anything to please him. After all, they already are. It will only get worse.

Update: Dennis Hartley and I were on the same wavelength today which is not surprising since are both huge Strangelove fans. So enjoy two Strangelove posts!
