A humorous factor occurred on the Democratic Nationwide Conference final week. Not solely has Kamala Harris stolen Donald Trump’s no-tax-on-tips coverage however her get together shape-shifted into MAGA Republicans in entrance of our eyes.
The place as soon as they slandered the American flag as racist and typically set it on hearth, right here have been Democrats drowning in a sea of Stars and Stripes as Harris took the stage Thursday evening.
One minute Oprah was stealing Trump’s chorus about “frequent sense.”
The subsequent minute Pete Buttigieg was introducing himself to the gang by saying: “You may acknowledge me from Fox Information.”
Conventiongoers wore camo hats and the leisure included a rustic singer from rural Alabama and a sheriff in uniform.
Between the “USA! USA!” chants, Harris’ exhortations to God and nation, and Tim “Stolen Valor” Walz’s schmaltzy shtick as a Midwestern conservative, you might be forgiven for pondering you have been at a Trump rally.
That’s precisely what Harris’ gimlet-eyed mind belief of former Obama-ites needs you to suppose.
By reworking Komrade Kamala into an ideological average, a tough-on-crime prosecutor and national-security hawk, they’re making a unadorned bid for swing voters, independents and the five hundred,000 Republicans who voted for Anybody-However-Trump within the GOP primaries on Tremendous Tuesday.
Wall of shamelessness
In her marketing campaign video, Harris even showcased Trump’s border wall that she had beforehand maligned and blocked.
“Fixing the border is hard” says the narrator. “So is Kamala Harris.”
The shamelessness is breathtaking. Because the Biden administration’s level particular person for unlawful migration since March 2021, so-called “border czar” Harris is answerable for the unfettered invasion of greater than 10 million unlawful aliens who’ve crossed the southern border.
However now we’re informed she is more durable than Trump, an aggressive “border-state prosecutor” with a document of preventing the cartels who management the border.
“After a long time in legislation enforcement, I do know the significance of security and safety, particularly at our border,” she mentioned with a straight face.
Her speech portrayed her as “robust on crime” although she is on document praising the defund-police motion on the peak of the BLM-Antifa riots of 2020 and urging on the rioters.
“They’re not gonna cease,” she informed Stephen Colbert in June 2020. “They’re not going to let up — and they need to not.”
She even promoted a fundraiser to bail out the rioters who trashed Minneapolis.
She is the other of a law-and-order candidate and the best strategy to perceive her new persona is to appreciate that each place that got here out of her mouth Thursday is the other of the reality.
Her speech was a cynical seize bag of poll-tested key phrases designed to allay well-founded fears of conservatives that she is a far-left radical in sheep’s clothes.
There was barely a peep of criticism from the progressives within the room or the media at Harris’ abrupt U-turn. They know precisely what’s happening.
In a clip that went viral on social media, a speaker at a DNC “Black Caucus” assembly let the cat out of the bag: “We received 70 days to behave proper . . . After 70 days, we are able to return to performing loopy.”
Most excited concerning the DNC conference have been warmongering never-Trumpers who hate the previous president a lot they suppose nothing of jettisoning all conservative ideas to lionize a leftist.
Invoice Kristol, the Iraq Struggle’s chief cheerleader, as an illustration, wasted no time endorsing Harris and praised the prime-time look Thursday of former CIA Director Leon Panetta, one of many unrepentant Soiled 51 liars who falsely claimed that Hunter Biden’s laptop computer was Russian disinformation.
“Leon Panetta quoting Ronald Reagan!” tweeted Kristol. “My type of Democratic conference.”
Among the many turncoat Republicans honored with a prime-time talking slot was former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, Nancy Pelosi’s pet traitor on the Jan. 6 committee: “Democrats are as patriotic as” Republicans, he gushed.
Later he informed CNN that Harris’ speech was “actually good. Trump has ceded a lot floor that was historically Republican floor [such as] nationwide protection . . . Kamala got here in and took that floor [on] immigration [and] Ukraine. I feel in the event you’re an undecided Republican on the market it’s robust to not vote for Kamala now.”
He’s an inexpensive date.
Harris’ artful speechwriters had studded her speech with sufficient set off phrases to fulfill the neocon world. She claimed to have “confronted threats to our safety, negotiated with international leaders, and strengthened our alliances.”
She even boasted about assembly with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on the Munich Safety Convention in February 2022 “to warn him about Russia’s plan to invade” as if the Russian troops amassed on his border weren’t apparent.
One observer of her efficiency in Munich was astonished that she highlighted it in her speech as a result of it was so embarrassing. 5 days later, Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. So, except that was her purpose, she failed miserably.
As a part of her new persona, Harris wore a conservative navy pantsuit quite than the pastels she normally favors, and didn’t make a giant deal about being a lady.
After years of decrying poisonous masculinity, particularly of the pallid hue, Democrats now are inviting “white dudes for Kamala” to a seat on the desk, though, as CNN’s Dana Bash identified, they don’t seem to be “”the testosterone-laden, gun-toting sort of man who needs to hearken to Hulk Hogan” however subservient males who know their place within the matriarchy —like Walz and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.
A Kennedy says it greatest
The antidote to the topsy-turvy Alice in Wonderland bubble on the DNC conference was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s honest and considerate endorsement of Trump on Friday.
“How did the Democratic Occasion select a candidate who has by no means carried out an interview or a debate throughout all the election cycle? We all know the solutions. They did it by weaponizing authorities businesses. They did it by abandoning democracy,” Kennedy mentioned.
“They did it by silencing the opposition and by disenfranchising American voters. What most alarms me isn’t how the Democratic Occasion conducts its inside affairs or runs its candidates. What alarms me is the resort to censorship and media management and the weaponization of federal businesses.”
“In a single speech he punctured the smoke-and-mirrors fakery of the DNC conference and confirmed how hole the get together’s appeals to “freedom” are.
The liberty of Harris-Walz is the coercion of going together with their large authorities initiatives like “free” faculty, “free” little one care, “Medicare for all,” value fixing and taxes on nonexistent income to pay for all of it.
It’s the liberty of FBI censorship and CIA lies, of SWAT raids on the properties of pro-life Christians and state spies at Catholic Mass. It’s the liberty of Mao and Stalin, and of authoritarians in all places.
No dissent is allowed within the explosion of pleasure that Harris’ ascension has introduced forth.
The censorship industrial complicated will see to that. In any other case, it’s off to the gulag with you.
