Comments on: The selling of Kamala: Part I – the happy warrior https://thenewneo.com/2024/08/14/the-selling-of-kamala-part-i-the-happy-warrior/ A blog about political change, among other things Thu, 22 Aug 2024 02:06:47 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.2 By: David+Foster https://thenewneo.com/2024/08/14/the-selling-of-kamala-part-i-the-happy-warrior/#comment-2757541 Thu, 22 Aug 2024 02:06:47 +0000 https://www.thenewneo.com/?p=136215#comment-2757541 It seems clear that most of what Harris says is scripted, and especially, her interactions with Walz are scripted to the point of extreme cringe.

There’s a pulp novel from 1954 that posits a future United States run by communications specialists…sophisticated advertising & PR men who rule by persuading the public that they really want what they are supposed to want. They even have a computer to assist them.

We seem to be headed in that direction, and the Harris/Walz campaign is definitely an indicator.

I reviewed the book in 2021 and updated the review last year with some additional commentary.

https://notthebee.com/article/watch-philadelphia-woman-is-brought-to-tears-when-asked-how-much-inflation-has-hurt-her-the-last-few-years

“I blame the federal government … If a working class mom who works as a paralegal cannot by a $2 bell pepper because it’s now $5, imagine a mother living with food stamps. Imagine a mother working minimum wage trying to feed children.”

Not The Bee expounded: “My two cents? This is where voting for the “compassionate” Democrats lands you. They’re going to run a campaign of joy, free stuff, hope, and all it gets you is misery.”

But the Democrats, as others have noted above, intends to blame everyone and everything EXCEPT the federal government (which at the moment is THEM).

And a lot of voters will believe the gaslighting, not the facts.

I suspect Hillary thought she was also the smartest woman to ever grace Yale’s hallowed halls, so seeing a real dumpster get the gold would be a double rankle.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Worry,_Be_Happy#Use_by_the_George_Bush_campaign) It seems to have worked!

To actually win, she’ll have to convince people that she actually stands for something. There’s an old rule that you can’t beat somebody with nobody.

What does this say about the American voters?
What experience does Kamala bring to the table?
What office has she ever held that was not literally given to her as a result of her connections, skin color or gender?

If she becomes president she will achieve two “firsts;” the first female president (this must burn white hot in Hillary Clinton’s nether reaches), and be the dumbest, most stupid, and most ignorant president in US history. She has already succeeded in being the most ignorant and dumb VP in US history.
I am not merely mocking her when I describe her as stupid, dumb and ignorant. I am actually describing her intellectual attributes.

Regardless, she has a good chance of becoming president. Putin, China , Iran, Venezuela and the CPUSA cannot believe their luck.

Kamala Harris does not exist.
Just like Joe Biden does not exist…and never did—not as president, anyway, which is what we’re talking about.

More specifically, Joe Biden “existed”…until he didn’t.
It was all Democratic Party and—especially MEDIA—puffery.
When the fiction was no longer sustainable, then pop went the weasel.

(Who’s running the country, again? AND does it even matter, where the Democrats are involved? DID IT EVER MATTER?
…No, it’s fiction all the way down. Narrative Uber Alles… and if the Democratic Party perversity continues, it will be for the foreseeable future.)

File under: The weasel is dead. LONG LIVE THE WEASEL!
