Was MAHA Decisive?

I’ll have to admit that I find this conclusion profoundly dispiriting:

To be clear I don’t know that this is true, and given that the election was quite close it’s obvious that any number of issues were “decisive” even if they moved only a relatively small number of votes. For some reason, tho, I find the idea of losing the election because of RFK Jr.-led defections more infuriating than just about anything else I can think of. This blog was more or less founded on contempt for Nader voters, but I might hate the idea of someone who would be swayed to Trump because of Senor Brainworm even more desperately. Nader/Stein voters are narcissistic, self-important trolls, but at least their demands make a certain kind of sense. The folks swayed by MAHA are moronic in a more apolitical sense, and as the OP suggests it would have been nearly impossible to placate RFK Jr. without blowing up other parts of the coalition. And the thing is that I can’t even say conclusively that the argument is wrong; I made some nasty comments on my Facebook page about RFK Jr. supporters in the summer of 2024 and I was rapidly defriended by several people that I regarded as otherwise completely apolitical.

So… chew on that, and please tell me that I’m wrong and that a moronic failson did not catalyze a fascist takeover of the United States because he hated vaccinations. What brings this to mind, of course, is social media’s awful “pers “person of the week” who Scott and others have already discussed at far too much length…
