All the libs will go back to brunch and sleepwalk for another 4 years. Harris will fail at everything she does and make life worse, especially for Muslims, and the left will be blamed for everything. The right will dig their heels in even more on reaction, yada yada, y'all know how this show goes.

Also considering the current age of identity politics I think there will be a lot of really gross and cynical uses of her identity. The "👏more👏women👏faces👏of👏empire👏" meme will be played out in some of the grossest way possible win or loss. It will be "inspiring" that she wants to be a helm of the machine that makes everything worse. I think it'll be uniquely bad for black leftists as I'm over 9000% certain that they will do the "If you ain't votin' for Kamala you ain't black" thing.

I also think there will be a lot of weird "DISCOURSE©®™" on how black is too black or not black enough or too woman or not too woman enough sorts of discussions. There are LOT of reasons to hate Kamala, and I want to say here and now I hate her cause she's an imperialist, a liberal, and just generally everything I don't like about democrats. Not her identity.

I think we are going to see a lot people talking about how it's either good or bad to be a bad bitch/brat (I don't even know what that means and I don't care enough about modern pop to figure it out)/girlboss when you're tough on crime or immigrants or all the stuff we hate about imperialism.

(for the record I think it's weird and perfectly shows how racist America truly is in that blackness sort of overwrites all other ethnic heritages and backgrounds because we hate it the most)

Lots of it in her speech last night.

CW: SAShe mentioned sexual abuse in her speech four times, including in a section where she proclaimed her unwavering support for a pro-rape country, and pretended that her time as a prosecutor was spent defending victims of sexual violence rather than protecting the perpetrators.

She's also vice president to, at the least, a weird pervert and at worst a sexual predator
