Cringe White Women Flock to the KHive
23rd July 2024
The only thing more cringe than Kamala Harris is the legion of white women who have suddenly rediscovered their obsession with the Democrats’ presumptive nominee. The KHive, as Harris’s fans call themselves, was launched during Harris’s failed bid for the presidency in 2020 and has since been remobilized to provide suburban moms and young gay men a platform to post coconut memes.
The first pillar of the KHive is race. Being a part of the coalition demands an acute awareness of the enormity of electing the nation’s first black female president and unburdening the white privilege that has been. Any mention of Harris’s Indian heritage is, of course, only optional. “Fellow white ladies. Get over it. Whatever it is, get past it right now,” Rebecca Fachner, a self-proclaimed historian, posted to X. “We’re gonna elect a black woman president and I promise you it’s gonna be amazing. Get on board, no reservations.”
