I believe this is a Harris parody by Mr. Reagan on X.

“I, Kamal Harris, senior Democrat candidate for President because Joe Biden finally exposed his senility of debate. Thanks, Joe.

I was selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire. I’m both a woman and a person of color. So if you criticize anything I say, you’re both sexist and racist.

I may not know the first thing about running the country, but remember, that’s a good thing if you’re a deep state puppet. I had four years under the tutelage of the ultimate deep state puppet, a wonderful mentor, Joe Joe taught me rule number one, carefully hide your total incompetence.

I take insignificant things and I discuss them as if they’re significant. And I believe that exploring the significance of the insignificant is in itself significant. Talking about the significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. “So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time, and there is such great significance to the passage of time.”

And Another trick is trying to sound black. I pretend to celebrate Kwanza, and in my speeches, I always do my best Barack Obama impression. “So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type.”

And okay, look, maybe my work addressing the root causes of the border crisis were catastrophic, but my knowledge of international politics is truly shocking. “The United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea. It is an alliance that is strong and enduring.”

Just remember, when voting this November, it is important to see what can be unburdened by what has been. And by what has been… I mean, Joe Biden. Do you think the country went to over the past four years? You ain’t seen nothing yet. (Cackle).”

I don't think the Republicans really thought through the abortion issue. My hard core Trump friends are scared to death they picked the wrong hill to die on. We went from "my body, my choice" to telling women "your body my choice". Telling half the voting age population you don't have a say in your own fetal healthcare is not a great place to plant your flag.

Choice should be a conservative principal
Republicans gave up on that freedom to get the religious nuts vote
It's fascinating that all my conservative friends support choice
Bottom line, most conservatives that are not religious support choice just like the majority of Americans

Once you start talking about religion you really eliminate rationality. If you start with an ‘invisible man in the sky said so’ how do you argue? The Christians start with ‘the IMITS says as soon as a sperm meets an egg it results in a human being with the same rights and privileges we all share’, how do you argue against that?
To me, it’s a societal decision, and in our society around 3/4 don’t agree.

I am pro choice, of course. But I am also in favor of letting a private business, like Hobby Lobby, offer health insurance that does not cover abortions. Any individual can decide to not work at Hobby Lobby if that issue is important for them.

It does seem hypocritical to scream "keep government out of our lives", and then scream for government intervention in things I don't like. Gay marriage, abortion, trans rights, etc. Do we want to revert everything back the individual states? Require a green book for travel to see what is legal and not legal as you travel across the country. If a pregnant female is traveling out of state, does she need to verify her pregnancy upon return. Slippery slope.

Win a National Medal of Technology, a Presidential Medal of Freedom or a Nobel Prize and that gives some room to maneuver. Otherwise...


That is my whole point. Some people can. The key is to make yourself one of those people.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Republican women will still vote pro-life, anti-choice in the majority, though.

Depends

I believe no red wave at the midterms is due to Roevember
Republicans have overall underperformed since Roevember
Choice is on the ballot in battleground Nevada
I'm in Nevada and that's what left is pushing in their TV ads as I watch the Olympics

Verify pregnancy upon return? What on earth are you talking about??

Three South Carolina GOP women legislators who filibustered an abortion ban lost their primaries for reelection. It is further evidence that (1)Women cannot trust other women to protect them or act as allies and (2)GOP women are squarely anti-abortion, perfidious and cannot be trusted when it comes to women's health. Do not believe a single Republican when it comes to women's issues, and especially do not believe Republican women.

Yeah. Believe democrats who say men can be women if you are for women’s issues, right?
