I don't really know much about him except that everyone seems to hate him too.

Unrelated ramble: This election reminds me of the leadup to the election that Ventura won in Minnesota with 2 guys everyone hated leaving it ripe for a weird third party to win. I don't suspect RFK could pull it off, because I think Ventura's celebrity and centrism was an important part of that formula.

Nah. He’s a reactionary conspiracist conservative.

He’s like Josh Hawley in my mind in that he hates the deep state and opposes neoliberalism so sometimes he will say something against those things that I agree with since I’m also against those things.

But having a shared thing you’re against doesn’t mean you are both for the same thing. What those types are for is antithetical to me. They want some kind of theocratic patriarchy, they oppose social welfare, they view medicine as a conspiracy, they the idea of individual rights if those rights give power to anyone who doesn’t fit their narrow mould, etc
