The Meme-ification of Kamala Harris
Harpers Bazaar ^ | 7/23/24 | Lois Staples

You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?!” Vice President Kamala Harris famously asked with her signature zany laugh in a May 2023 speech. “You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you!” The coconut tree aphorism—which can actually be attributed to Harris’s mother, Shyamala—is why your social media feed has probably been full of coconut emojis and memes since Sunday afternoon, when President Joe Biden announced he would not be seeking reelection in November, and endorsed Harris to replace him on the Democratic ticket.

Since Biden’s disastrous June 27 debate performance, there have been a lot of memes: about Biden and his forgetfulness, about Nancy Pelosi’s purported role as puppet-master in his stepping aside, and also, significantly, about Harris. Moments that might have once been perceived as awkward—Harris giggling like a mischievous aunt on her second glass of wine at a wedding, her mom-dancing, her less-than-enthusiastic reaction when Drew Barrymore earnestly asked her to be “Momala for the country” in April—have become a strange source of comfort these past few weeks. Many have commented on the resemblance between the current situation and the plot of the HBO comedy series Veep, in which Julia Louis-Dreyfus played a gaffe-prone vice president. Now that Harris is the front-runner to replace Biden, it’s becoming clear that her memeability is one of her political strengths. In a media environment where attention trumps all, could Harris be about to have the last laugh?

Yeah, the propaganda left media have their orders, take this turd, called Kamala, and make her out to be a golden egg, that will save their democracy, from that evil Trump.
