In Donald Trump’s returning to X, he asked maybe the important question of the 2024 poll:” Are you better off today than you were when I was leader”?
Maybe second only in importance to that problem is this one:” When it comes to your plan, Vice President Kamala Harris, are you lying then, or were you lying next”? Given the information war that the government press are waging on her behalf, having coronated her as the Democrat nominee and created a complete safe bubble around her in the days that have followed, it’s a problem Trump will probably have to ask Harris himself.
Harris — or more accurately Harris propagandists, since they have been the people addressing concerns about her policy jobs — has flip-flopped on banning drilling, “decriminalizing” illegal immigration, and providing universal federal health treatment. She tries to unburden herself from what has been, including serving as one of the most liberal senators in the upper chamber and then as No. 2 ) in perhaps the most fundamentally left-wing government in American history.
in selecting Minnesota Governor. Tim Walz has also appeared to be her running mate, and she has shown her kindred spirit. This is a man who has given illegal aliens all kinds of tax benefits and wants to give other potential “newcomers” a chance to catapult past any border wall. This is a supplier of tampons to boys ‘ bathrooms, a Covid snitch line installer, a socialist shill, and a man who allowed George Floyd rioters to scorch Minneapolis while Harris promoted a bail fund for the arsonists. As exemplified in his disgraceful stolen valor scandal, he has also sought to unburden himself from what has been.
How can Harris reconcile her past anti-energy, pro-invasion, health care-system-destroying record, the record of the Biden-Harris White House that so alienated Americans that The Party was forced to jettison its chief figurehead, and the record of her VP pick, with the positions of candidate Kamala? She cannot.
There are only two ways to comprehend” The Great Reimagining” currently taking place, both of which state that the person who is now calling for price controls has not had a sincere change of heart in the opposite direction. One is that Harris is cynical and treats Americans with contempt. She is who she has always been: an authoritarian leftist determined to make America San Francisco, but she must lie, obfuscate, and avoid scrutiny of her true beliefs at all costs because American voters would reject this fate.
Axios laid this out explicitly, its top editors reporting:
Harris’s intention is to unapologetically alter some of her more liberal positions and assert that her White House experience has helped her change her mind. …
She’s also fine plucking popular Trump ideas, notably’ no tax on tips’ for service and hospitality workers — popular in Nevada, one of the biggest swing states. …
Her bet: whatever she says in the small, three-month window of her snap campaign will be what sticks. Harris is aware that the majority of people are not familiar with her. So she believes she can define herself, even if it includes flip-flops and co-opts.
In other words, Harris is trying to smack a quick one at the American people. Axios is conveying her campaign’s apparent view that we are idiots.
The alternative explanation is not much better. Harris has no fixed positions, so she is content to repudiate all of her most politically incorrect positions. That is, she is willing to say or carry out whatever is necessary to seize control.
Naturally, this would raise questions about why she so fervently desires that sort of power and whether Americans should want a leader with such a power-hungry streak. Additionally, it raises the question of whether or not we should believe what she says is accurate. Axios claims Vice President Harris “wants to break with Biden on issues where he is unpopular.” She could, however, zig after she had been elected, returning to the Biden-Harris agenda on steroids.
The communications arm of our ruling regime, the corporate media, will use its absolute best efforts to protect the Democratic Party’s frontwoman. In a hostile information environment rigged to promote the regime’s preferred narratives and suppress competing ones, the Trump campaign is obligated to bring up the issue of the candidate’s radicalism, cynicism, and duplicity as much as possible.
The 2024 election, and indeed the future of the country, may well depend upon it.
