The author of this piece analyses the strong overlap in policies and attitudes between the campaign of RFK Jr to those of the MAGA movement. While RFK Jr's anti-vaccine stance is his most defining belief, his other policy beliefs tie closely with the far right, including voicing attitudes that we need to have an impregnable border, repeating Russia propaganda concerning the war in Ukraine, ramblings about 5g, repeating conspiracy theories that the CIA was responsible for the murders of JFK and RFK, and much more.
This highly ties in with polls that demonstrate that RFK Jr. holds a dismal favoribility rating among Democrats, while Republicans hold a positive favoribility of the Kennedy scion.

🙏 Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is for RFKjr to pull more votes from Trump than he does from Biden in the '24 election...
