So what about Sand and his position on MAHA themes, principles, and values? This wholesale support of Republicans may backfire in the midterms despite Trump and SCOTUS intimidation campaign...Again, is MAHA a Republican operation? If so, be clear with us why.

"Is MAHA a Republican operation?"

Seriously? Duh!

Look him up - another maga millionaire headed towards billionaire. Nothing in his history shows any concern with maha issues. I my some very recent pandering to get elected.

It's likely that MAHA would be aligned with Democrats today had they permitted Kennedy and Gabbard to fairly compete in the 2024 and 2020 primaries respectively. The considerable corporate financial power behind the Dems shut that possibility down given the profit-busting positions (for big pharma, big chemical, and the MIC) taken by both of these MAHA candidates.

The "profit busting positions" are addressed only by performative lip service. No one that isn't truly wealthy gets a high level trump appointment, and they're all tied up with Big Everything.

You all are cheering about some Koch scion winning Iowa Republican primary for governor. Can't get more Big Chemical than Koch.

Part of what you’re saying is definitely true, re, [mostly] wealthy people in cabinet positions— Gabbard being one exception—but their wealth correlates with past success in their respective fields, some of whom, like Kennedy may have gained it through virtuous works. As for the winning Iowa Republican candidate, time will tell where his heart is. What’s undeniable though is that he is identified as the MAHA candidate, which affirms the perception that MAHA is a valuable political asset. This could help sharpen the focus of candidates who wish to gain MAHA voters’ support (on either side of the aisle).

I lived in Des Moines for 1.5 years, and I was getting sicker as time went by, but thought it was related to other health issues.

I fled Iowa in early April, and am in California now. The weather improved my arthritis significantly, but I also noticed recently that several neurological symptoms have vanished. I'm not dizzy and wobbling on my feet. So, was pollution in the water or from the airport killing me, or could it have been something in the house (radon?) CO from the furnace?

Good news for MAHA, but the fact Lahn was also endorsed by TPUSA makes me skeptical of the rest of his platform (i.e. pro-Israel?).

I am from Iowa and host the Facebook page MAHA united. We're very excited about the Zach Lahn win for many reasons, especially as we rank #2 in the country for the incidence of Cancer. President Trump, love him, endorsed the purple, establishment RINO. Yeah Iowa for being first in the nation again

This is massively important. Hopefully Trump and Vance are paying attention and see this for what it is. It's been difficult to tease out what Trump's primary magic represents. Now it is clear. MAHA is the strongest force within the formidable MAGA movement. Rubio works for Trump, but he is habitually aligned with the old guard. Vance is more aligned with Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard. Keep this information in your memory as we approach 2028.

Not unhinged enough

Congratulations Zach, you deserve this win and your platform deserved the support of MAHA PAC. What a great day for Iowans and farmer’s everywhere.

Which parts of it appealed to you?

AMAZING WIN FOR MAHA !!!!

MAHArd's avatar

How so? You know nothing about this guy.

Michael Kane's avatar

Have you heard him speak? He's 1000% MAHA.

MAHArd's avatar

For a month or two, perhaps. Have you heard him speak? Or only the brief clips you've been fed?

Have you read anything from any of his previous political campaigns? Have you read anything written about him before 2026?

He's a major player at Koch, Inc. The second largest privately held US company. Refining and distribution of petroleum and chemical intermediates and polymers - of fertilizers and textiles, of pulp and paper - of chemical manufacturing equipment, etc

How maha is that? How gullible are you?
