Add rural America to the list of places Kamala Harris
hasn’t been, along with Europe and the parts of the border that are actually in
crisis.
Harris sat with Soledad O’Brien for a softball interview
and couldn’t even handle the slow pitch.
I’m not sure any amount of media training can fix this.
There are lots of bad arguments against voter ID, which
enjoys the support of 4 out of every 5 Americans. Harris’s argument that people
who live in rural areas find it “almost impossible” to photocopy their ID to
prove who they are may just be the dumbest of all of them. It’s roughly 20
years behind the times and wildly out of touch.
Harris mentions Kinkos and says they’re not accessible in
rural America. Kinkos doesn’t even exist anymore and hasn’t for several years.
They’re called FedEx Office now.
But rural Americans (is that going to become a protected
class now?) have access to these things called “smartphones,” which they can
use to scan and send their IDs if they need to. They also have access to these
things called “scanners,” “printers,” and these amazing devices that can scan,
they can print, and they can even digitally transmit information through wires
— and wirelessly. It’s like magic, really. Rural Americans also
have this amazing communications tech called “email.” They also have various means
of getting their information from where it is to where it needs to be — in
physical form! There’s even a whole government service dedicated to moving
physical pieces of paper and even packages from place to place called the “U.S.
Postal Service.” We truly live in an age of miracle and wonder.
Harris should remember the postal service since its
unionized government employees endorsed her and her half-witted boss.
But how would a San Francisco liberal know the first
thing about what rural America is like? How would she have the first clue,
since she’s had no contact with most of America and has no idea how most people
live or think?
Be under no illusions about anything. The current
administration is full of out-of-touch ideologues and demagogues such as Harris.
They’re as self-assured as they are clueless. They make poor decisions that
hurt people by the millions but as long as their intentions — in their own
minds — are good, all is well. The woke, activist media won’t call them out on
it and too many of our countrymen would rather live in a fictional world than
look at the reality of this awful administration.
Don’t take 2022 for granted, in other words. Opposing
voter ID signals a strong desire to cheat.
