Much like the Ziegfeld Follies of the first half of the 20th century, the Kamala Follies are designed to distract and entertain. While for Mr. Ziegfeld that was the point of his magnificent Broadway spectacles, Kamala’s follies are malevolent by nature—and aren’t at all entertaining; her embarrassing song and dance is meant to run out the clock, keeping the American people in the dark about her intentions until a ballot comes their way.
But there are now signs that the American people aren’t as gullible as Kamala and her media court jesters think we are. The post-debate polling has begun to show that her game of hide-and-seek has grown stale. Like so many politicians, Harris believes her own propaganda and thinks she “won” the first debate because all her friends in the media said so. But it’s the American people who decide, as evidenced by the latest New York Times/Sienna poll released Monday and conducted September 17-21. In this, their first polling after the Trump/Harris debate, former president Donald Trump’s gains put the lie to the media narrative about who benefitted from that debate.
In three critical battleground states—Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina—Trump’s numbers tell the story. Pre-debate in Arizona, Harris was ahead by 5 points. In this post-debate poll, Trump is now ahead by 5 points, a ten-point swing. In Georgia, pre-debate Trump was ahead by 4, and post-debate he maintains that lead. For North Carolina, Harris led by 2 points post-debate. Now it’s Trump by 3, a 5-point shift.
Knowing that her vacuous nature would be even more exposed if she were to hold a traditional press conference, Harris has resorted to taped, scripted, and vapid entertainment-like sit-downs. Coincidentally, (or was it?), the other event that happened in the midst of the New York Times polling was the Oprah Winfrey/Kamala live-streamed “forum” featuring Hollywood celebrities cooing over Kamala as she spouted gibberish.
Super-rich celebrities like Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Chris Rock, and Jennifer Lopez drooled over the Democrats’ selected nominee in an effort to raise money (they did) and convince people that she should be president (she shouldn’t). All those celebrities hectoring us to vote for someone who has already destroyed our lives are multi-millionaires, and in Oprah’s case, a billionaire. None of those people vouching for Harris are touched by what Americans are suffering through. Not one of them has struggled with the horrible dilemma of whether you put gas in the car or feed your kids something other than cereal for dinner. Shame on them. They likely thought the ridiculous display by ultra-wealthy deigning to tell us how to vote would help her poll numbers. It’s a good sign it did not.
Throughout this process, which actually began when Donald Trump first ran for the presidency in 2016, it has become clear that the Democratic Party has become the standard bearer for the super-rich elite, while the Republicans under Trump have become the party of the average American, the working people of this country, the middle class. This election has become Trump against a rotten, failed bureaucracy, with Kamala as the designated puppet.
Kamala’s refusal to show some respect for the American people by offering specifics of what she intends to do if elected highlights how little the American people matter to the bureaucratic establishment. To them, we are irritants with problems that are icky and banal. They do not worry about whether or not they will be able to pay the mortgage or the rent the next month, they do not live paycheck to paycheck, and they are not making ends meet by using a credit card or by taking money out of a savings account or a retirement account.
And yet, Democrat leaders, media, and celebrities conspire using everything at their disposal to lift up a woman who is responsible for the destruction of our economy, our national sovereignty, and security, as well as made possible a world at war due to the cartoonish weakness of Harris/Biden administration buffoons. They all know better and yet they do it anyway because if the great unwashed masses gain power, it diminishes the left’s own sense of superiority.
Now it seems the constant hectoring and fearmongering by the Democrats that Trump is the most threatening thing to face America since Godzilla, is backfiring. Rhetoric from a Biden/Harris cabinet member that Trump must be “extinguished,” and even Biden implying on “The View” that Trump be squashed like a bug, is unbelievable in the aftermath of two assassination attempts against the former president and likely next one. But it may be finally backfiring. A new Rasmussen Reports survey asked, “Who is the biggest enemy America currently faces, Iran, China, Russia, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, or domestic extremists?” Democrats came out on top, beating China coming in second. This is not good news for the Democrats as early voting has commenced and election day is just a few weeks away.
Many thought at the beginning of this travesty that Harris would eventually pivot and talk about what she would actually do as president, but that hasn’t happened and now we know it never will. She is now a creation of the media, vacuous and often confused. The good news is we see on almost every front our fellow Americans refusing to be swept along by Kamala’s follies into the leftist volcano. We don’t want follies, bread, and circuses. We want a stable life, safe families, a future we can count on, law and order, and a world if not a peace, then quieted by American strength. A complete rejection of the Harris/Biden catastrophe must be our answer on November 5th and will be our first step to recovery.
