Kamala Harris and the Masque of Magical Thinking
American Greatness ^ | 4 Aug 2024 | Roger Kimball

Posted on 08/04/2024 9:48:04 AM PDT by Rummyfan

The Democrats have mutated into the party of nowhere, so it is not surprising that they prefer pleasing fantasy to sobering reality

Although the last few weeks have had their alarming aspects—chief among which was the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on July 13, the odds-on favorite candidate for president—they have also had their amusing moments.

In the latter category, I place the sudden queen-for-a-day-like coronation of Kamala Harris.

True, that coronation was in the nature of an anti-democratic semi-soft-coup (or anti-democratic “inversion of a coup”). Biden and his handlers, right up until the morning of July 21, were insisting that he was not dropping out, that he was “in it to win,” etc. But someone made him an offer he couldn’t refuse and out he went.

Here’s the amusing bit. Until the moment Biden was chased out of the race, Kamala Harris functioned primarily as political life insurance. “You might not like me,” Biden communicated, “but if I go, you’re stuck with her.“

In her case, I don’t think that thinking enters into the equation.

They can scoff when we talk excrement. Takes no thought other than ‘that just them-haters. It’s all feeling to them. We need to hit hard on policies that they’ll have to explain AND THEN scoff at them in their lack of wisdom. That’s when you hit them with the excrement. Too much out there when it comes to targets.

Kamala Harris did not grow up in a red, white and blue, all-American, flag-waving household.
<><>Kamala has always been an inbred radical.
<><>Kamala grew up in the family of two foreign-born committed Marxists.
<><>Imbued with Marxist philosophy discussed at the dinner table for her entire life.
<><>Equity, and the other components of Critical Race Theory, is who Kamala is.
<><>She deeply believes that it is the job of the state to make things “fair.”

Kamala Harris was birthed of foreign-born parents more Marxist than Bernie Sanders.

She was “officially” declared the Democratic Party’s 2024 candidate for the office of the presidency by a majority of Democratic Party state delegates.

After winning not a single delegate during the 2020 primaries, and not even being on the ballot during the 2024 primaries, Kamala Harris has successfully subverted democracy——the Commie way——to become the Democrats’ presidential candidate with a $350 million war chest.

Wait for it, people.

Now that we’ve learned Kamala Harris’ blissfully wed hubby was doing a number on his kid’s nanny, Kamala is being morphed into a total innocent——kinda like a girlfriend of Mayberry’s lunkhead, Gomer Pyle.

Because her husband knocked up the nanny unbenownst to his then-wife, Kamala is no longer being media-glorified -——no more to be depicted as “Wonder Woman,” the hidden light of the Biden admin.

And Jill is fine with that.

“Can such a person win the presidency? No.”

I wish that I shared the author’s confidence. Don’t underestimate the media’s ability to pull the wool over the public’s eyes. They’re selling her as this hip, spunky “girl boss”... and much of the public appears to be buying it.

If you’re writing in Haley, you’re voting for Kamala.

If you’re writing in DeSantis, you’re voting for Kamala.

If you’re writing in Ron Paul, you’re voting for Kamala.

If you’re writing in RFK, you’re voting for Kamala.

If you’re abstaining from voting, you’re voting for Kamala.

The only vote against Kamala Harris is a vote for Donald Trump.

Yep. They did it for the whole 8 years of Obama.

Count on the ferocity of the attacks on Trump by the Democrat/Socialist Party to not just continue, but to accelerate in the coming weeks as Democrat/Socialists are running out of positive things to say about their presumptive candidate.

Despite what the Democrat/Socialist Party-run media persistently promote, I consider Harris as the "presumptive candidate" until she is formally announced at the convention in a couple of weeks, putting nothing past the party leaders and "big dog" donors to change horses in mid-stream if Harris cannot move and sustain the needle as a viable candidate. These people absolutely hate to lose and will to anything -- and I do mean anything -- to avoid losing the power. Anything and everything!

That would be in an honest election, something that will not happen in 2024

If you are counting the harvested ballots of illegal, you are voting for Kamila.
