If you have ever confronted the astonishing hatred that San Francisco Bay Area Democrats have for anything Republican, much less MAGA Republican, then you understand why Kamala Harris may become the next president of the United States.
This isn’t a hate that is grounded in reality. It is nurtured by decades of propaganda, backed by trillions of dollars in big tech wealth, and, lately, the most powerful tools of mass hypnosis and Pavlovian conditioning the world has ever seen. If you question any of their pieties—climate, race, gender, Trump—you are instantly and permanently dehumanized. It is impossible to change their minds. There is no room for nuance. There is no tolerance for alternative perspectives. You are hated. You are garbage. Give up. Die.
This is Kamala Harris’s core constituency.
If you haven’t experienced the withering rebukes of San Francisco progressives or been the target of their white-hot rage, you might think Harris’s Portlandian drivel actually indicates a benevolent, if somewhat intellectually middling, soul. Her bird-brained new-age prognostications are certainly more humorous than fearsome:
“It is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day.”
“The significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.”
“You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.”
It’s hard to ascribe malevolence to phrases like this. They’re the words of a vapid airhead, not a tyrant. On the other hand, Harris’s penchant for nodding her head in the affirmative as a way to punctuate literally everything she says is more than slightly ominous. It is a condescending, passive-aggressive way to telegraph what is actually a terrifying arrogance. I am right. You will agree. Nod your head with me. This is how it is.
Yikes.
Here’s what Kamala Harris is really about, and here’s what we are up against:
California is ruled by a coalition of extreme environmentalists, opportunistic business interests, the “renewables” lobby, the Homeless Industrial Complex, the DEI Industrial Complex, public sector unions, including the rabidly partisan and woke teachers union, and Hollywood, all backed by tech billionaires who wield stupefying wealth and influence.
At its roots, this is a coalition of lunatics, crooks, and amoral pragmatists. A prominent Democrat who was working on some genuine reforms once told me, “We had the Republicans at hello.” A businessman who supports Democrats once shared with me a similar sentiment. “Why should we back Republicans?” he said, “we’ve already got them.” And yet the Republicans, especially the “MAGA Republicans,” are the threat. Go figure.
This is a machine, and Harris is just a cog. Meanwhile, California is broken. People can’t afford homes or any other essentials, including gasoline, electricity, water, food, tuition, or health care. And the reason California is broken is because the economy is dominated by leeches who profit from inefficiency and failure and hide behind pessimistic narratives—climate doom, race and gender resentment.
Not every Democrat in California has bought the progressive narrative. Not every one of them has become usefully terrified of climate catastrophes, pervasive white bigotry, and MAGA fascists. Not every one of them has succumbed to apocalyptic fear and hence yielded to blinding hatred of the alleged deniers, bigots, Nazis and MAGA storm troopers on the brink of destroying the world.
No. Some of them are just practical. Do you want to do business in California? Play ball with the Democratic machine. Do you want to make incremental change? Maybe find some nonpartisan island of common sense and work towards at least one useful reform? Be a Democrat. To have credibility in California, that’s the price of admission. Which is to say, there are some Democrats in California trying to do some good.
The problem with this otherwise sound reasoning is that even Democrats with mostly good ideas are bound to have at least one issue where they are insanely, fatally flawed. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a perfect example. On many critical issues, he is a breath of fresh air, a voice of honesty and courage. But on the issue of climate change, his positions are just as fascist, delusional and obedient to the doom narrative as the worst machine politician the Democrats can offer.
Which brings us back to Kamala Harris. She is going to represent the Democrats in the race for U.S. president for the same reason Joe Biden did. Just like Joe, she is a puppet. A cog in the machine. But make no mistake about the motivations of her donors. They want to rule the world. And make no mistake about her grassroots supporters. They have been manipulated into thinking of themselves as embattled warriors, fueled by a hatred they believe is righteous and justified.
The irony is deep and tragic. They are the Nazis they hate. They are the haters they hate. They are the puppets of the authoritarian machine they think they’re fighting.
As Kamala Harris spouts her goofy aphorisms, in between stoking her acolytes with fear and loathing, this machine is one election away from consolidating its power across America. If it wins, it will do to the entire country what it’s done to California.
Republicans aren’t any less corrupt or incorruptible. It’s simply that Democrats as a group are far more arrogant about their capabilities and goals. I remember reading Learned Hand’s speech on the spirit of liberty.
Democrats no longer believe in liberty or support its proliferation for all their talk of “Our Democracy”. They tend to be nihilists, and literally sell their souls to keep their power over others. People who love liberty are content to let others express themselves, so they can express themselves. Democrats and their donors act like medieval lords and their vassals, not modern free people. Democrat politicians pledge fealty to their liege lords and masters to keep that power. Before our eyes, we’ve witnessed California, Maryland, Illinois and New York reduced from once-thriving free and democratic states to broken-down, impoverished peasants and the filthy rich wannabe aristocrats who grind everyone else down believing they are ordained to exercise that power.
In the end, Americans are people who like to be able to do what they want to do or what they believe they are here to accomplish. When the productive and stable types leave those states, they infill with unassimilable non-Americans or the very worst America has to offer: billionaires.
Imagine if Michael Bloomberg had managed to get himself elected to the Presidency? Does anyone believe he wouldn’t have been even more threatening and tyrannical than Joe or Kamala? Perhaps America needs a tax on billionaires? No, make that a wealth confiscation program. After all, as their proxies continue to claim, “You didn’t build that!”.
And yet, the Californication of the rest of the US won’t come about because of a Harris administration, God forbid, but rather that people fleeing California’s unlivable conditions export the Progressive mind virus by voting for the same untenable policies that have decimated their former home in their new environments. They, generally speaking, don’t learn a damn thing and have the self-awareness of tree fungus, in that they utter fail to see that they are part of the problem.
Republicans of the go-along-to-get-along variety are also to blame. If they didn’t cave because someone might say unpleasant things about them( true or untrue) or even worse, because they share an ideological premise that government is always the answer with their Dem opponents, just don’t agree to the degree to which government is the solution, then they might offer clear alternatives to their potential constituents. The idea that it is preferably to lose but retain the moral high ground is one that I have only seen within the Republican party-- and it oft guarantees that that is exactly what happens
Granted that California is run by kooks, how does this translate into the entire country being run next year by a person like Kamala Harris?
The bigger question is: will Democrats commit election fraud again on a massive scale, and do they believe they will get away with it? Maybe they plan to steal Texas (along with other states) using Biden’s newly ‘legalized’ illegals? Texas will throw out their votes. Leftist Federal Judges will block that, allowing lawsuits to go forward that do not ‘follow the law.’ In the meantime, Democrats push certification forward, leaving the state’s electoral votes uncounted in the final tally. It wouldn’t be a sucker punch by 2020 standards, which was the real secret sauce of that steal. Biden, the moderate, was its second cousin twice removed. Back then, the nation had no idea it would get four years of open borders, economic malpractice on an industrial scale, and a foreign policy that looked like it was designed to start World War III. It does now. That’s a big problem for Democrats, other than the San Francisco sub-variant.
KamaNot.
“… this machine is one election away from consolidating its power across America. If it wins, it will do to the entire country what it’s done to California.”
Good and hard.
The average American understands that this election is consequential, and some Americans even grasp the reality that should we lose in November, our country is forever lost.
The problem with this calculus is what can–or should–we do if the unthinkable happens? And this is the exact quandary that I have been harping on for the last four years. The left is THIS CLOSE to their long desired goal of absolute control, so it is foolish in the extreme to think we can vote more or harder than those who will count those votes.
Thus, the question comes down to this: what are we willing to risk to save our country? Or perhaps the better question should be…are we willing to risk anything?
Many Americans are rapidly approaching the point of having nothing whatever to lose and have every reason to risk it all. Reading about the fates of the signors of the Declaration of Independence demonstrates why risking it all for the cause of liberty does not end in personal benefit. That kind of unselfish sacrifice is rare these days.
