What I hate about Harris
You will agree, but never admit it –from the e-book "Call Me Toxic – I get Trump" on Amazon
I don’t hate Kamala Harris because she is black or female. But I do hate a lot abvot her:
1. She is empty
She gives me feeling there is nothing there.
Partly it’s her public behavior: the cackling, the girlish excitability, the not answering questions, her leaning on celebrities to get attention.
But looking past that, there is still nothing to see.
She did not have to fight to get where she is.
She did a serious job as attorney general in California, but since then – nothing.
As a senator, though she served on various committees, but did nothing of note – except kowtow to the woke left.
As VP she did nothing of note.
She was only chosen as vice president because she is black and female – Biden even announced he would choose a black woman. That give the conservatives cause to call her a “DEI hire,” and they’re not wrong.
Since becoming a candidate, she has tried to reinvent herself in a number of ways, but none of it sounds real, and all of it sounds like pandering. I understand that she has to disassociate herself from the extreme left to reach the moderates, but her change of heart is not believable, and her flip-flopping makes even her formerly extreme left tendencies feel fake.
She feels AI-generated, a hologram, the Great and Powerful Oz, but without anyone behind the curtain.
You can’t ask me to vote for that.
2. She is a populist
Since getting to the Senate, Harris has done very little but suck up to the extreme left.
She has repeatedly called for her supporters to “stay woke,” aligned herself with the Black Lives Matter movement, and while she never explicitly supported the Defund the Police movement (as some claim), she flirted with it, like Trump flirts with racism.
She aligned herself with Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for all idea and the so-called Green New Deal, both of which were too far left even for Biden.
When woke extremism began to come into disrepute, she reversed all her stances – now she’s pro- fracking, owns guns and can’t stop talking about her middle-class upbringing.
She’s not a bad a populist as Bernie Sanders and Trump, who both claimed the system is rigged and call for “revolution.” But at least with those two, we knew what we were getting.
This is a chapter out of “Call Me Toxic – I Get Trump,” in which I explain in detail what I think about the current situation – including Trump and Harris, election issues, January 6 and Hitler and all that, but also the Democrats and wokeness and the deterioration of American values – oh yes, and also how and why I voted. The book is available on Amazon. I wrote it because I knew the only way to explain myself was if I can talk for a while without anyone interrupting. If you want to yell at me, send me an e-mail, comment, whatever – you have to read the book first. (German: Beschimpt mich – ich verstehe Trump)
3. She is too close to the extreme left
Since realizing that she has to convince moderates, she has tried to reinvent herself as a patriotic, gun-toting American – but I don’t believe her.
From her time in the Senate on, she associated herself almost exclusively with wokism and the extreme left, and I don’t think that has changed. She will not become a leftist dictator, and parts of her presidency may turn out well.
But she is an open door to the extreme left. She is a symbol of and, if she gets into the White House, justification for the direction the Democratic party is now going.
I think she is a believer, and that makes her dangerous.
4. She’s goofy
Trump is a bully, a liar, unsophisticated and widely hated – but everyone is afraid of him.
Kamala Harris is joyous, sweet, just a little confused – and no one will ever take her seriously.
I remember this conversation when Jimmy Carter was elected.
I liked the guy – he was a good man. And when the Republicans criticized him for being too nice to take seriously, I agreed with the Democrats, who countered that it’s time for a gentler America.
A new age has dawned, I thought, and it’s silly to think America needs a tough guy-president in this day and age.
Then Iran treated the poor guy like a doormat, and I began to realize that the world out there is not the nice place we like to think it is.
Can you imagine Iran, China or Russia taking Harris seriously?
Can you imagine her in 1941, facing off with Hitler? I can’t.
When Trump was president, I hated that the whole world hated him – but when he barked, they paid attention. They won’t pay attention to Harris.
