Kamala Harris' Pitch to Undecided Voters: "Just Be" - The Queen of Gobbledegook just dropped a doozy
Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning ^ | 20 Sep, 2024 | Sasha Stone

Oprah Winfrey had a townhall style “interview” with Kamala Harris. All of the ruling class were in attendance —Julie Roberts, Meryl Streep, Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Tracey Ellis Ross — most of whom are afflicted with existential angst as opposed to, you know, practical problems of daily life?

I’m sure an event with Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts was a great way to win over undecided Voters. They’re probably out there thinking, I can’t put food on the table, and I can’t send my kid to school without worrying about them coming home and asking for puberty blockers, and what is going on in Springfield? Are we on the brink of World War III? Ah, but the celebrities will help. They will guide me! Yes! I’ll vote for Harris!

Hollywood doesn’t seem to have gotten the message that almost no one cares what they think. I’d go so far as to say that the majority of Americans can’t stand Hollywood anymore, especially celebrities, preaching to them about what to think and how to vote.

There is something grotesque and unseemly about doubling down on the problem that plagues the Democrats: elitism. Maybe that works in good times. In bad times? All it does is highlight the disconnect between the very rich and the struggling working class.

But it might have been an opportunity for Harris to knock it out of the park, to deliver a strong argument to Americans beyond “Trump is bad.”

She bragged about how she’d shoot anyone who broke into her home. News to those of us who have heard nothing but lectures about people like Julia Roberts and Meryl about the gun problem in America.

At the same time, the NRA circulated a video of Harris talking about going into locked homes to make sure Americans were in compliance: ....SNIP

I didn’t watch the Oprah interview, but people sure are making fun of it.

This is the sequel to “Being There” and Kamala is the new Chauncey Gardner.

All of the ruling class were in attendance —Julie Roberts . . .

Who?

I never knew that Eric Roberts is Julia Roberts’s older brother.

That kind of talk is straight out of "the human potential movement" of the 1970s-80s, that arose out of the work of (communist) Kurt Lewin, father of modern group therapy. It is quickly understandable only to those involved.

For example, "unburdened by what has been," is an aspirational way of saying, 'We're going to shove it down your thoat no matter how many times it failed because we know what's good for you," or as that brilliant sage and indomitable moose, Bullwinkle said repeatedly, "This time for sure!"

Life imitating art.

We probably should not be all that surprised. After Barack Obama succeeded in getting elected with little to no experience, and Joe Biden’s presidency despite his obvious frailties, the candidacy of a Chauncy Gardner type was inevitable at some point.

We somehow managed to survive the first two disasters, but might not be so lucky with the third.

It’s the psychological show. Kamala gave permission for these people to exist (just be) and now, to show their gratitude, they will vote for her. It’s not about politics, rather it’s about feeling good and being recognized by the Queen Bee. Everybody, in a debt of gratitude, will now continue to enjoy their significant and privileged lives, without guilt or question, knowing they are blessed by the Queen. All thanks go to Kamala.

There’s a documentary about Harvey Weinstein in which the interviewer asks Meryl Streep what she knew about his activities. She immediately diverts to Bill O’Reilly’s pay offs at Fox just like Kamala would. When the interviewer follows up, Streep has a blank look on her face and has to be saved by Forrest Gump. Streep is good at memorizing lines but bad at thinking on her feet.
