That’s just it though. Like, ok my racist uncle wants RFK, but why do people with the power to make or break politicians care? My racist uncle is dumb and hates vaccines, but what is RFK promising to do for these other people? I just don’t believe Elon musk and his ilk are actually antivax, so why are they pushing RFK so hard? I get playing to your base, but if it was just about getting someone who is antivax so Rs feel seen, then why does it seem like it’s RFK or bust for these people?

Money, connections, status, publicity, loyalty. Probably a useful idiot like Trump.
