Kamala Harris: The Left’s Manifested Candidate

Manifestation is the idea that if a person wishes something to happen hard enough, they can make it a reality.  

The left loves the idea of narratives creating reality, rather than being tied to objective facts, and the past month of the non-existent Kamala Harris presidential campaign is their real-world attempt to wish their hand-chosen person into the Oval Office.

The establishment media is running flattering Time Magazine covers of Harris promoting her as a visionary leader, and claiming that she is running a “joyful” campaign.

They have buried Harris’ culpability for the 10 million illegal aliens who have entered the country since she became the Border Czar at the direction of President Joe Biden.   Nope, that never happened, pay no attention to their own reporting in 2021, believe them now.

And of course, most of the media seems perfectly content with Kamala Harris completely ignoring them for the past month, so her own words didn’t get in the way of the re-branding to a moderate visionary.

Even the single-name designation of Kamala is an overt stroke to put the invisible Vice President and candidate into the same stratosphere as Beyonce, Cher and other divas who are single-name famous.

In light of this exaltation of the former senator from California and current vice president, the puzzling question is why she wasn’t deployed for the past three and a half years by the Biden administration to sell his and her policies, which have fallen flat with the American public?

The reason she wasn’t barnstorming across the nation, drawing crowds and creating excitement for the radical Biden agenda is simple – she was and is an even worse spokesperson-advocate than even the enfeebled President Biden.

Known for confusing word salads that are designed to make her sound smart, while actually revealing her to be vacuous, Kamala Harris’s great hope is that no one will actually force her to campaign hard over the next 80 or so days. Just like her predecessor, the Democrat elites and billionaires who chose her are hoping to fool enough of the public to elect her.

Just listen to or read this explanation of the internet cloud by Harris, “No longer are you necessarily keeping those private files in some file cabinet that’s locked in the basement of the house. It’s on your laptop and then it’s therefore up here in the cloud THAT EXISTS ABOVE US (emphasis mine), right? (while nodding her head to someone off camera)  It’s no longer in a physical place.”  

Apparently the massive data centers which are popping up around the country to house the computer servers needed to hold the data are a mystery to Harris, who has proven one thing if nothing else.  

She is no Al Gore.

But those who actually do understand manipulating the web are working overtime to erase and change her record and persona. Her campaign is putting ads up on Google which feature columns written about Harris, but contain made-up headlines to make it appear, at a glance, that she is an amazing figure who has risen seemingly out of nowhere.

It would be funny if it weren’t such a blatant manipulation in the hopes of manifesting a presidency simply by burying the truth and replacing it with a fairy tale narrative that only occasionally brushes against the truth.

But what would you expect from a hand-picked candidate whose ascension negated the votes of 14 and a half million Democrats all in the name of saving democracy?

We are in a world where the end justifies the means for those on the left who cravenly seek power at any cost, so turning a history of far left crazy into a benign face of the future just seems natural to the billionaires and elites who elevated her.

The only question remaining is whether the American public will fall for it and in doing so put a knife to the heart of the idea that elections are an exchange of ideas rather than simply a competition between those who are shilling for Burger King versus those trying to get you to eat at McDonald’s.
