Interesting concept posed by RFK Jr who is running as an independent in the 2024 presidential election.  He did not believe his candidacy could be treated fairly in the Democrat primaries.

Would like to see the Republican candidates for president comment on the concept.

I’m here to join you in making a new declaration of independence for our entire nation,” he added. “We declare independence from the corporations that have hijacked our government. We declare independence from Wall Street, from Big Tech, from Big Pharma, from big [agriculture], and the military contractors and their lobbyists.”

“We declare independence from the mercenary media that is here to fortify all of the corporate orthodoxies from their advertisers and urge us to hate our neighbors and to fear our friends,” he continued. “We declare independence from the cynical elites who betray our hope and amplify our divisions.”
