And of all the issues, bad policies, and trash appointments, why would anyone care that he promotes McDonalds? It’s literally the bottom of the barrel and not even slightly hidden. If you think this is “hidden propaganda” then you have no idea what propaganda is, imo. This is literally explicit promotion. It’s literally a joke because it’s so explicit.
Hey, I'm talking about RFK! The health secretary on a mc donalds propaganda! And it's hidden because there are 2 types of propaganda essentially: one that warns the consumer about it being a propaganda, let's say, it's the honest one, and the other one that just don't. In the case of the health secretary, who have been propagandizing that he will take off poison from the population's lives, to be in a poison junk food hidden propaganda... you have all the right to deem it harmless, but I don't.
