RFK Jr’s running mate was shocked to learn that the media lied about MAGA
American Thinker ^ | 30 Aug, 2024 | Andrea Widburg

Having been told that MAGA people were hate-filled, brainwashed, stupid cultists, Nicole Shanahan was shocked to meet friendly, interesting, and well-informed people.

Nicole Shanahan is an interesting woman (more on that in a minute). She also was, up until this year, a stalwart Democrat. However, the Democrat party’s decidedly anti-Democrat behavior, both in blocking RFK Jr’s campaign and in placing Kamala at the head of the ticket without her having one a single primary ever, soured her on her one-time party. Now that she’s had a taste of MAGA, she’s also realized that the media and the Democrat establishment have been lying all along. Since she’s got rich and powerful friends, let’s hope her epiphany spreads.

Per Wikipedia, Shanahan’s mother was an immigrant who grew up in communist China before meeting her German-Irish father. Her father, a computer specialist, suffered badly from mental illness (bipolar, schizophrenic, depressive) along with self-medicating, causing substance abuse. The pair settled in Oakland, California, and Shanahan describes her upbringing as poverty-stricken and traumatic. Because she was bright and hardworking, though, she went to college and law school.

After becoming interested in patent law, Shanahan leveraged her patent and legal expertise to create a legal tech company. She eventually sold the company in 2020 for an estimated $20 million in IPwe stock (although IPwe’s bankruptcy this year means that, if she hung onto the stock, it’s worth nothing).

In 2018, Shanahan married Sergey Brin, one of Google’s co-founders, with whom she has a young daughter. That marriage didn’t last long. Although Shanahan had a pre-nup with Brin, she negotiated hundreds of millions in Google shares. Estimates are that she’s worth over $1 billion thanks to that short-lived marriage.

Always remember, demonization usually precedes extermination.

Over on X after the debate with biden anti-Trump people were posting ‘I can’t believe Trump said babies were aborted in the 9th months or even after birth. That’s horrible.’

They had plenty of people inform them of the truth with links and video of this. I think they shut up this topic then, but it was interesting how many folks insulated themselves from the truth by depending on the media.

Good point.

I just clicked this one to point out this is a great illustration of why these people always go in the ditch first.

When they find out they been had, they switch allegiances. But by then of course its too late.

And us people with IQs above 65 get to put up with 80 years of communism.

From the article:

“Estimates are that she’s worth over $1 billion thanks to that short-lived marriage.”

Well, I guess that’s...impressive.

Regardless of her net worth, she’s clearly a very intelligent woman.

Glad to have her on the good side now.

MAGA can always use another billionaire or two.

If she is shocked that the media lied then she would be perfect for DC - as a Democrat.

Also, not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

All the lessons Yuri Bezmenov tried to teach us are critical issues right now. The revolution is in full swing. We are Venezuela. See https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4261661/posts

The major point that all the MSM people should realize right now is that when the revolution is complete, all the star-struck fans in the media will be lined against a wall and shot, because when they see what the revolution has wrought they will be disillusioned and become the strongest fighters if they are not immediately exterminated.

Shanahan, RFK Jr, Musk, etc are excellent fighters now because they see that what we’ve been trying to tell the world is actually true: we are in the middle of a coup/revolution to take over this once-great country.

Silicon Valley is waking up. At this point it is truly a question of whether the media/Deep State can keep the public deceived.

Of course, the public was not deceived in Venezuela. The opposition party won by a 2-to-1 margin but Smartmatic was able to steal that election for communist Maduro who is now using lawfare against anybody who fought for election integrity.

We need Silicon Valley, Shanahan, Musk, etc to rise up and bring attention to the corruption of Smartmatic and to the means by which the revolution has subverted honest elections in Venezuela, as well as how easily they can do it here, with we the people having no means to hold them accountable and lawfare being used against anybody who fights for election integrity.

See https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4261661/posts for more on Venezuela.

Given Shanahan’s upbringing in communist Oakland, in poverty, with a Chinese immigrant mother and severely mentally ill father, educated in California schools and universities, she has likely had zero exposure to mainstream Americans, only a warped “Howard Zinn” sense of American history, and no concept of what “Making America Great Again” means. Her comments make it clear how effective Big Media propaganda has been.

Just meeting and talking with normal people must be a revelation for her. Let’s hope she is not faking her epiphany. She needs to travl the US learning about reality, then educate her leftist pals. That she speaks of Dems as “liberals” shows that she has a big lesson yet to learn. The Dems haven’t been Liberals since Hubert Humphrey and George McGovern; the current set are Red Fascists.

I was unaware she had come along with RFKjr in the right direction. Also unaware she is a billionaire. Hope that she and RFKjr stay in their lanes, and help a nation out.

We call these people evil morons. Communists, baby-sacrificers or other bad - yet accurate - names and go on about how they don’t cook us with their evil bullsh!t...

.... then they show up on our doorstep and we let them in.

Like Kanye,Bieber, et al.

We never learn.
