Let’s be real: politics has never been about finding the perfect candidate; it’s about finding the one who best aligns with our vision for the future. My recent debate with Chad Caton, a die-hard Trump supporter, highlighted this reality. While Chad argues that Trump is the bulldozer we need to clear out the deep state, I counter that RFK Jr. is the scalpel we need to cut out the cancer of corporate capture that’s eating away at our government.
Chad’s devotion to Trump is rooted in Trump’s track record of exposing the deep state and fighting back against the establishment. And look, I get it—Trump did a lot to shine a light on the corruption within our government. However, from my perspective, Trump’s solutions often feel like playing whack-a-mole with the symptoms rather than addressing the root cause of our problems.
Take the Deep State, for instance. Chad is right that Trump understands the threat, especially after what they’ve put him through. But when it comes to the corporate capture of our government—the real puppet masters pulling the strings—I’m not convinced Trump fully grasps the extent of the problem. RFK Jr., on the other hand, has spent his entire life fighting corporate interests, whether it’s Big Pharma, Big Oil, or Big Ag. He’s not just talking about draining the swamp; he’s talking about tearing down the entire system of corporate control that’s turning our government against us.
Chad dismissed RFK Jr. as a “frog in the throat” guy with no real path to victory, a mere distraction in the political landscape. However, I would argue that this kind of thinking is what keeps us in this constant Uniparty cycle that we can never seem to get out of. We need to stop looking at candidates as simply vehicles to victory and start evaluating them based on their principles and solutions to our most pressing issues.
Chad also brought up the polls, pointing to RFK Jr.’s low polling numbers. Sure, he’s not leading the pack, but we all know polls are about as reliable as the mainstream media. What matters is the message and the movement behind it. RFK Jr. is galvanizing a cross-partisan coalition of Americans fed up with the status quo, and that’s something Trump isn’t doing anymore. He did that in 2016, but I’m not seeing it this time around.
When Chad brought up Trump’s plan to dismantle the Department of Education as proof that Trump is going after the root problems, I had to push back. Yes, education reform is crucial, but that’s just one piece of the puzzle. The corporate capture of our government extends far beyond education—it’s in healthcare, the military, the environment, and more. RFK Jr. has the vision to tackle these issues at their core, not just slap a Band-Aid on them, as I believe Trump is doing and has done.
And let’s talk about the deep state and the intelligence agencies. Chad argued that Trump, with General Flynn by his side, is better equipped to deal with this threat. And I agree, Gen Flynn knows where the bodies are buried better than almost anyone. But I say RFK Jr. has more skin in the game—his family was targeted and killed by these very agencies. He’s not just fighting for America; he’s fighting for his family’s legacy.
In the end, this debate isn’t just about Trump vs. RFK Jr.; it’s about two very different approaches to saving this country. Chad is betting on brute force with Trump. I’m betting on precision and principle with RFK Jr. As a voter, the choice is yours.
