‘Who really are the MAGA People?’ RFK Jr. VP pick drops ‘brilliant’ satirical ad exploring Trump supporters

September 14, 2024 | | Print Article

The unity movement struck again with their latest “brilliant” satirical ad dispelling the mystery of the “fascinating and often misunderstood” group known as “The MAGA People.”

Since the suspension of his own presidential campaign, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s full-throttle push to Make America Healthy Again has come with interviews, stump speeches and viral moments in support of former President Donald Trump. The same was true for his former running mate, entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan, who recently spoofed a nature documentary to show what Make America Great Again was really about.

“Who really are the MAGA People?” she asked on X Friday while sharing the roughly two-and-a-half-minute video.

Bringing to mind the work of David Attenborough, establishing shots of an airplane in travel preceded an array of everyday people as the narrator said, “Across the Atlantic in the North American country of the United States, lies a fascinating and often misunderstood collective.”

“From its northeastern cities, to its midwestern towns, to its expansive west, this courageous group of individuals are most notably known for their unwavering patriotism,” the voice continued. “Join us as we explore the fascinating world of ‘The MAGA People.'”

“As we embarked on our journey, we were judicious in taking all necessary precautions. Our media had warned us that these were a vicious, radical and even deplorable people,” viewers were told as an on-screen caption reading, “First encounter with MAGA people,” was displayed over video of what looked to be a grandmother and her two young granddaughters laughing and smiling on a porch swing before showing other ordinary Americans.

“Contrary to what we’d been told, we found the MAGA people to be warm, loving and even rather cheeky at times,” said that narrator as clips led up to Trump performing his wildly popular dance moves.

Before breaking down how freedom, health, the Constitution and a restoration of the American Dream were the foundation of what the tens of millions of citizens who support a second Trump administration sought after, the voiceover expressed, “As we spent time with the MAGA people, we learned that their mantra, Make America Great Again, is an optimistic belief that the United States will once again prosper by returning to its founding principles of a government by and for the people.”

Highlighting how MAGA supporters came from “all walks of life,” like military service members, farmers and even health gurus, the ad that neared 2 million views after around 18 hours on social media was a knockout follow-up to Shanahan’s Big Pharma satire warning about people who “might be struggling from [Trump Derangement Syndrome,” while promoting the cure, “Introducing Independence.”

For style, messaging and its suspected impact, the division-busting ad garnered tremendous support and a hope to continue seeing similar content to break through to voters across the aisle before Election Day.
