I keep thinking of the parallels to the final few seasons when she becomes President, loses the election, becomes President again. Also, one of the best series finales of any show I’ve ever seen.
I wouldn't underestimate the SNL effect on elite opinion-havers. Remember that the 2020 primary season, they did a roll call sketch that functionally aimed to identify the persona of every Democratic candidate, and Kamala was "America's cool aunt". Maybe they were on to something about how she was/would be perceived, but I think that sort of thing sticks. https://youtu.be/lgA0fjztqaQ?si=htcGyLaDZ0jGgFDw
I will say, from where I watched it happen an important note in the Coconut Tree’ing was that it’s basically Marxist theory, Kamala’s dad is a well known Marxist theoretician, so it had a pathway into Left partisan posting spaces which it’s pure goofiness just allowed it to exploit
Although some brief googling reveals its been around since 2020, I wasn’t sure if “Joever” was “Joe-ver” (rhymes with “over”) or “Jo-ever” (kinda rhymes with “forever”). Maybe perfect ambiguity for our times.
I came across a clip of that audio on Reels several months ago; it was clearly making waves in the algorithm.
Whether you wanna get all “Bene Gesserit” about it or not is up to you, but intentionally or not, a way has been made, and if she is careful to avoid the enemies all around here, there now lies a narrow path to victory for a future President Harris.
I’m late to this. Apologies. Kids. Max, you will understand this as they get older.
At any rate, reading your thoughts here on Harris and Meme Culture: the Online libs blazed the path for Biden with all those Obama/Biden memes in the wake of Trump’s victory. I spent three years arguing with Hashtag The Resistance online and then set aside my differences in 2020. They were annoying as fuck. They showed up to vote.
No one needs a rehash of what the stakes are right now. Every vote is necessary. I will embrace the cringe — in fact bear hug it! — if this is what must be done to stop the Fourth Reich.
I saw a version of the Kamala meme where the last half of the video was her dialog over psychedelic nature footage set to ambient music but haven’t been able to find it again. It was funny I liked it.
Veep prepared us for Kamala

I really should watch the series over again.

Thank you for acknowledging The Chive.

That's your choice.
But what about after?
If the "stakes" are what gives the D Party power, then those "stakes" are guaranteed never to change; much as they haven't between 2020 and now.
I mean, it was the R’s choice to nominate a felon. The D’s didn’t set the stakes.
Yeah they did. It was called the "Pied Piper Strategy", back in 2016. They think their opponents being horrible gives them license to be garbage too.
Can’t forget when Drew Barrymore said we need a Momala either lol
But Kamala was absolutely not having any of it though 😅 The mask slipped off a bit there
Where are the Kamala Anime memes? This isn’t a true meme moment until we get some Naruto/Final Fantasy vibes going.
Hillary destroys Kamala
But we have seen that Hillary is unelectable for many reasons.
Trump cheated in 2016. ballots burned in michigan, elections officials paid off, etc.
she won the popular vote and lost the electoral college because trump cheated. she is electable
Agreed. I've voted for her for president in every election since, and I'll do it again.
😅🥔🍅

Thank you!
I also like the coconut tree monologue with The Dark Knight music over it: https://x.com/thewapplehouse/status/1808484517000204342
