RFK Jr.’s Veep choice Nicole Shanahan has dropped another blockbuster video. Two weeks ago, she released “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Now she’s got a new one. Who really are the MAGA People? Those of us in our fifties and older will recognize the 1970s style of the “documentary” from the stuff we saw in school.

Sundance over at The Conservative Treehouse does a deeper dive into this:
Robert F Kennedy Jr’s former Vice-Presidential running mate, Nicole Shanahan, continues to finance and produce high quality video content intended to unite the Donald Trump and RFK Jr movements while persuading moderate democrats to join the assembly. [Source Link]
In this video Mrs Shanahan draws attention to the false and malicious narrative done by the hardwired leftists, communists and corporate financial groups who have Alinsky’d the MAGA movement for almost a decade. It is a very well-done production intended to stimulate a deeper review by those who perhaps only pay slight attention to national politics.
The message is good. The intent is good. The part of the Kennedy/Shanahan process that continues to befuddle me is not actually them. Instead, it’s the DNC/MSM and left-wing corporate group’s silence about parts of this unity message they would normally jump on.
Normally, if the left considered a political effort a threat, they would deploy severe countermeasures against it.
Meaning, any slight or diminishment of candidate Donald Trump, real or imagined, by an incidental, off-color or poor judgement statement by Kennedy would normally be exploited by the professional Marxists. However, when RFK Jr besmirches Donald Trump, the professional political leftists remain silent and do not exploit the opportunity. This ‘absence of antagonism‘ is very unusual; as a consequence, I’m not quite sure how to evaluate it.
If you have watched USA politics closely since the rise of the Obama movement (circa 2006-ish), you will note their heavy emphasis on using the Alinsky tactics against their political enemies. They always isolate, ridicule and marginalize (Alinsky Rule #6).
As the DNC, under the full operational control of the Obama network, use Alinsky attacks, the Republican wing traditionally enhance the attack using virtue as a weapon. It’s normally a one-two punch.
The Democrat/Hollywood wing ridicules, isolates and marginalizes (ie “weird”)… then the Republican/Corporate wing comes in on their high-horse and affirms the ridicule (“wingnuts”). This UniParty approach toward us as enemies has been consistent for almost two decades, and we all have “Tea Party” references for previous examples.
“This absence of antagonism is very unusual …” As dad would say, “they’re whistling by the graveyard.”
