Demagoguery repeats itself.

Four years ago, I blogged about the nomination of Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s running mate for the 2020 Presidential campaign. Not so much about her record in politics – but about all the knuckle-dragging racist, sexist, vitriolic horseshit that Republicans tried to throw at her.

And the Kamala Harris attacks began in four … three … two …

And not less than three days after President Biden announced he was suspending his 2024 re-election campaign and instead throwing his support toward his Vice-President – who currently now has more than enough delegates and superdelegates pledging their vote for her – the knuckle-draggers are back. And they’re getting more vulgar and violent and vritriolic.

To them I say … give me a fucking break.

It’s the same old shit. “Oh, she’s a DEI hire.” “Oh, she’s a woman who slept her way to the top.” “Oh, she did this,” “Oh, she did that,” blah blah blah.

It’s the same old smears and slander.

For example … let’s start with the racism taunts. They’re already filling social media like mildew.

Then again, for every one of these chisel-headed dog-whistles from the MAGA underworld, there’s always someone to respond back in a “get back under the bridge, you troll” moment.

As I was saying …

Oh, and this one’s a self-own with a chef’s kiss. Check out the profile picture of the “black woman” who wrote this. Sure looks like a white guy named Joey, doesn’t it?

Right. If you’re a black woman, I’m Taylor Swift and my girlfriend is Travis Kelce.

And then there’s the whole “border czar” thingy. Supposedly during her Vice-Presidency, Kamala Harris was appointed as the “border czar” or the “immigration czar,” as this post from the king of the trolls postulates.

News flash, Donnie. The Vice-President was never the “Border Czar”, there is no such position or role. She was involved in immigration policy with the Biden Administration, and her job was to address root causes of immigration from Central America as a long term strategy. And immigration and border crossings have DROPPED from those targeted countries in that time.

Oh, and I seem to recall that Biden actually offered a border solution that was stricter than anything Trump had during his years in office, and Trump actually told the Republicans in Congress to vote AGAINST Biden’s bill because he didn’t want Biden to get any sort of immigration victory. That’s right, start the fire and then blame the firemen because the trees are burning. Yeesh.

And then there’s the “she slept her way to the top” yoke. The chant that she and the mayor of San Francisco were shaking the sheets and that she received a plum appointment as a reward. That little screed seems to have a cheerleader in a failed network newscaster who barely graduated from Bethlehem Central High School.

Megyn Kelly should talk. I mean, it’s not like she was listed as “the other woman” in Brit Hume’s divorce statement … oh, wait …

Maybe we need to hear from the person involved in the “she slept her way to the top” story. Ladies and gentleme, the former mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown.

Then you get some blather by a troll who calls himself “Cat turd.” That’s right, the MAGA cognoscenti are getting information from a guy who calls himself “Cat turd.”

Aw, someone tried to poke Montel Williams about the fact that he once dated Kamala Harris way back in the day. Probably NOT a good idea to poke Montel Williams.

So yeah, there’s all that. The MAGA chuds and the knuckle-dragging misogynists are turning a blind eye to their racist, predatory, felonious demagogue and are instead trying to find something, anything, to hit Kamala Harris with.

And these posts aren’t even the tip of the iceberg. There are people who are attacking her for having the temerity to laugh. Or the temerity to dance with other people. Or the unmitigated gall to purchase La Cruset cookware.

Cut me a break, you fetid bonkbrains.

I may not get Joe Biden for another four years, but I’m good with Kamala Harris for four – maybe eight – years. I’m way good with that.

Trust me, I lived through four years of Donald Trump as President. Barely.

I don’t think I could live four years with another run with that orange goblin in the White House.

So there.
