Ten Days That Changed the World?
It didn’t take long. I read in the New York Times that Kamala Harris is the candidate of “joy.” She hasn’t even been at the forefront for 72 hours and already the syrup has started to drip. Joy? As bad-tempered as she is, she can hardly be the candidate of joy. And, on the other hand, joy does not solve inflation, nor the border crisis.
We knew that nothing would be the same after the attack on Trump. What we didn’t know is that it would all happen so fast. In less than 10 days, the former president has gone from saving his life by a few inches to redoubling his chances of returning to the White House, amid a wave of popular support, as the world watches as the Democratic Party commits assisted suicide in real time. And in less than 10 days, Trump has gone from facing a zombie to having to face a ghost.
Kamala Harris is a gaseous matter, invisible, still unknown to science. Harris is nothingness, a kind of quantum vacuum, the specter of the annihilation of a particle, an error of terrestrial gravity. Of her political abilities we know only one, her ambition. Her intellectual abilities are unaccounted for. And her leadership ability is comparable to that of a driftwood log. Perhaps her only political talent, at this moment, is having been born a woman, but that is a condition that more than 50 percent of American citizens can also claim. And, following Democrat logic, even the other 50 percent could claim it providing they are willing to undergo surgery. The Left has succeeded in making being a woman mean nothing special. So there’s little reason to be impressed with Kamala; in fact, we should remind them of it every time the press announces the possibility that, for the first time, a woman will be president of the United States. It’s micromachismo or whatever the neo-language woke calls it.
Biden would not have resigned without the attack or, rather, without Trump’s rise in popularity after the attack. From that point on, the internal pressures became unbearable and the Democrats had to face their own delusion: they have been insisting for months that Biden is better than ever, that he could even take part in the damn Olympics, and that he is the right man to save the nation from itself.
Neither is it certain that the president has decided to leave of his own free will. I have serious doubts that he has done anything of his own free will in the past year. There is only one thing more sectarian than a progressive taking on a conservative, and that is a progressive taking on another progressive. Historically the Left has been unrivaled in internal purges. I’m prepared to bet that Biden has been secretly purged by the same people who have been celebrating him publicly up until a few hours ago. I am not saddened by the cruelty of his fate, frankly, because he should never have run, but I am amused to discover that, once again, for Democrats, politics is the art of betrayal.
Kamala Harris represents everything that is wrong with the contemporary Left. Biden was a horrible candidate, but if there was one thing we couldn’t accuse him of, it was having bad ideas; to have bad ideas you have to have at least some ideas. It was enough for Biden to figure out in what order to put his shoes on, which, for a few months now, is just about where his presidential responsibilities begin and end. If the Left wishes, we can continue to pretend we haven’t noticed.
Harris is different. Harris is the American version of the radicalized postmodern Left present in the rest of the West. Harris is a frightening mix of wokeism, sentimental politics, socialism, and sectarianism. It is like making Amanda Gorman defense secretary; and I hope I am not giving Harris any ideas. She is capable of signing her on as vice president, without even bothering to find out if anyone has looked into the harmful effects of her poetry on her victims’ glucose levels.
In 20 years of journalism, I have learned that in journalism you should never exaggerate the importance of something that is happening in real time, but above all you should never minimize it. I doubt I’m wrong: I’m pretty sure that in a few years we’ll be talking about what has just happened as the 10 days that changed the world. Trump is saved. Biden is gone. And Harris, well, who cares about Harris?
