Here’s how the factions would react to MAHA:
CDs: This is ridiculous and dangerous. The issues Kennedy is raising were resolved decades ago. He has to go.
PBPs: Ditto, and his comments about pesticides and processed foods are damaging business, as well.
CLs: Anyone who reduces the size and power of the nanny state is welcome, even if some of his ideas are a bit strange.
Reactionaries: Doctors proved during the pandemic that they don’t know squat, but they want to rule the world. It’s time to take power and freedom back from elites like them. If a few people die unnecessarily in the fight for freedom, that’s a price well worth paying.
Kennedy’s ability to stay in Trump’s good graces depends on his willingness to ease up on businesses and thus keep the PBPs happy. Thus far, he has done that; the focus of his tenure has been on firing people and supporting anti-vaxxers, which keeps the far right happy.
