This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a written address to the gathering that Shanahan posted to X, she declared that “Bobby Kennedy can win this next election” because he “understands the deeply troubling, almost demonic forces that have overtaken our agencies, and our culture.”
The former believe that a luciferian cabal have taken over the highest levels of government, and that this evil group of power players traffic children and harvest their blood to extend their own lives.
Many Christian nationalists also believe that their movement is wrestling against demonic forces, and that their political opponents do not simply disagree with them over principle, but are in fact controlled by Satan and must be countered through “spiritual warfare.”
Both groups tend to idolize Donald Trump as a divine agent, on a heavenly mission to conquer the deep state — which helps explain why Shanahan may be seeking to substitute RFK Jr. as their savior.
Shanahan is far from the only left-wing, natural-living, yoga lover whose new age spirituality and distrust of the medical establishment has led directly to a wormhole journey to the world of right-wing conspiracy theory.
Shanahan, who has second billing on what is expected to be the most successful third-party presidential ticket in decades, doesn’t seem particularly averse to the conspiracy theory — if she isn’t pushing some of its core principles outright.
