Did you know that Kamala Harris is currently the favorite to replace Gavin Newsom as governor of California?
Californians can’t seem to get enough of her, although it is easy to overstate any poll numbers at this stage of the game. After all, she has incredible name ID in the state; millions of people there just voted for her, and she is a famously horrible campaigner.
But still, she is the leading candidate.
Which is a good reminder of what we here in the real world narrowly averted.
Kamala Harris was absolutely hammered in NYC..

Lots of people posted this video of Harris meeting with some actors at a Broadway show, mostly because they thought she looked and sounded hammered (maybe?) and that she sounded vacuous (always). But what I found striking was how everybody hung on her every word and nodded along with her nonsense.
O M G 🤪

It’s like cult members hanging on the every word of a cult leader’s rambling. It’s as if she has the hypnotizing power of a cobra weaving in front of its victim.
If you aren’t the hypnotized one, it looks creepy and bizarre. What is wrong with these people?
Thank you voters for UNBURDING us with WHAT COULD of BEEN!
The EXACT SAME people that claimed for 4 years that Joe Biden was “sharp” said that Kamala Harris would be a great President.
The Democrat party is unraveling in real time which means America is healing.

The Democratic Party often appears to be filled with half-wits. We believe that because the people who lead the party are so clearly liars and con men, with mentally vacuous people like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris rising to the very top of the party despite being unable to string sentences together.
But I KNOW it is not the case that most Democrats are dumb. Forget the education/credentials arguments since prestigious degrees and nice titles guarantee nothing about a person’s intelligence anymore. David Hogg went to Harvard, FFS, so credentials mean nothing.
But I know from personal experience that plenty of Democrats are smart, yet they nod along and clap to this nonsense and don’t seem to notice that none of it makes sense.
Which brings us back to the hypnosis hypothesis. It must be the case that the steady stream of Pravda propaganda, appeals to authority, belief in credentials, and restricted social circles combine to hypnotize otherwise capable people into believing that nonsense makes sense. Throw in some emotionally loaded words and you can make “educated” people believe anything.
Even that Kamala Harris is a leader worth following. That she utters profundities.
This gets me back to a point I make often: it is the enabling institutions, such as academia and the Pravda Media, that must remain the focus of most of our efforts. They make the hypnosis possible.
Nobody would follow Kamala Harris but for the fact that they are told she is a wise woman. Obviously, she hasn’t the capacity to teach a third-grade class. She is as profound as a fortune cookie.
Elite institutions are our real enemy. Democratic Party politicians are, for the most part, interchangeable tools.
