Nicole Shanahan Does It Again: 'Who Really Are The MAGA People?'

Posted • September 13, 2024: I have a confession: I had no idea who Nicole Shanahan was before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tapped her as his running mate in March. And upon initially learning a bit about her, I thought, "Hmm. Kind of an unusual choice, but you do you, Bobby." Once I saw and heard her speak and articulate her perspective, I found her interesting and engaging, but still, someone whose political stances were sufficiently removed from mine that I wouldn't be voting for the ticket. But since the murmurs began, hinting that Kennedy might leave the presidential race and endorse former President Donald Trump, Shanahan has taken to the "unity" movement and embraced it with the full force of her resources and talent. I don't know exactly who Shanahan's "team" is, but they're masters when it comes to putting together these little ad vignettes she's been sharing.

When RFK Jr. announced that he was teaming up with Trump, the MAGA movement was introduced to the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement. And they've seemingly become fast friends. In the latest installment from Shanahan and her team, we are treated to a brief "mockumentary," which takes a look at the oft-maligned "MAGA People." The two-and-a-half minute short is wickedly funny, dead serious, wholesome, and pointed, all at once. The narrator goes on to note the "MAGA People's" love of family, concern for preserving borders, advocacy for ending war, adding that they come "from all walks of life." He then adds that they've recently joined forces with the "MAHA People," with the aim of making America healthy again. He wraps by noting all they've learned from the "MAGA People," hoping for a similar movement to emerge for those of his native land.

It's all quite tongue-in-cheek, and it's masterful in how cheekily it pokes at the elite, bubble-dwelling mindset of those who readily dismiss "MAGA People" as less-than and to be feared and disdained. I don't know what the next six weeks will bring us or what the outcome of the election will be. But I hope we continue to see more from Shanahan. While I certainly don't agree with her on all issues, I do like the cut of her jib. (…)
