The Pandemic's Uncomfortable Questions
What happens when a Kennedy challenges liberal orthodoxy? Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s provocative manifesto asks whether today's liberals have abandoned their traditional values of open inquiry, skepticism of corporate power, and defense of civil liberties in their COVID-19 response. As someone who identifies as an "FDR/Kennedy liberal," he watches in dismay as his political tribe embraces censorship over debate. The book has ignited fierce discussions, with some progressives dismissing it outright while others quietly acknowledge its uncomfortable questions. What makes this particularly fascinating is that the challenge comes not from the right but from within the tradition of Kennedy liberalism itself. When 65% of Democrats support government censorship of unauthorized opinions-a complete inversion of traditional liberal values-we must ask: what happened to the left that once questioned authority and defended free speech?
