I mean, every poster to date has touched on part of the elephant as it were.
Troll the libs.
Grift the base.
Political calculous.
But there are probably at least two more:
Don’t tell me what to do you smart people! (more nuanced than this, but it boils down to that)
CDC, and any taxpayer supported health (a rich person/(R)/MAGA bugaboo) costs me money in TAXES. I shouldn’t have to pay for them! And of course, all gov’t money is TRUMP’S money.
MAHA’s cures cost nothing - or rather, they cost him and his ilk LESS. Really quite simple that way…
There’s one more aspect to this which is the.way it’s part of the wider co-opting of the utter insane literally lunatic fringe into the mainstream GOP by Trump. The “crazy” gun nut has always been a GOP demographic but Trump brought the utterly bonkers David Icke style neo-Nazi demographic into the fold.
The kind of medical conspiracy currently at the center of US health policy is not “government vaccine mandates are the thin end of the wedge for Communism” it’s “the Jews are putting microchips in vaccines to send demonic messages into my brain and make me impotent” kind.
General Jack D. Ripper: You know when fluoridation first began? Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: I… no, no. I don’t, Jack. Ripper: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It’s incredibly obvious, isn’t it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That’s the way your hard-core Commie works. Mandrake: Uh, Jack, Jack, listen… tell me, tell me, Jack. When did you first… become… well, develop this theory? Ripper: [somewhat embarassed] Well, I, uh… I… I… first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love. Mandrake: Hmm. Ripper: Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue… a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I… I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. Mandrake: Hmm. Ripper: I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women uh… women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I, uh… I do not avoid women, Mandrake. Mandrake: No. Ripper: But I… I do deny them my essence.
This (utterly batshit) story is a good example of this .

This completely bonkers new age crystal and energy healing cult who get instructions from 5D energy beings (who are lead by Saint Gerome and… Robin Williams!?!). 10-20 years ago you’d have asked me to place them on the policial spectrum i’d have guessed either apolitical or solidly left wing. But nope, they are MAGA! That’s the kind of insanity Trump has brought on board.
Unfortunately the cult leader killed herself with booze and collodial silver (and mummified by her followers) before she could be appointed by RFK jnr to the HHS dept
