It is always tempting to think that whatever you are experiencing is new, but almost everything in this world has happened in every conceivable way. As the old saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun, just new ways of doing it. There are, however, novelties of this age that arise from the fact we are the first virtual civilization. The internet, this alternative reality that for many people has supplanted reality, is a new thing and therefore it brings new experiences.
One of those is the virtual campaign run by the regime for Kamala Harris. For the last three weeks we have been subjected to the greatest gaslighting campaign since the Soviets discovered cinema or the Nazis took power in Germany. All of the regime elements have been enlisted to promote the inevitability of Kamala Harris and Elmer Fudd. Meanwhile, the only mention of her opponent are imaginary tales about him raging to his subordinates down in his bunker.
Proof that the universe has a sense of humor is the fact that the self-proclaimed right-wing influencers are the ones most caught up in this media operation. It makes sense though, as these are people who live online, always looking for the latest thing so they can rush to the head of the line and proclaim themselves the leaders of it. They see this tidal wave of pro-Harris media and they get swept up in it while trying to front run it.
What we are experiencing is a test of sorts. Can a regime with near total control of the media organs brainwash enough people to elect an imaginary person? That is what is happening. The real Kamala Harris is fading into the background, while a new, virtual Kamala Harris fills every nook and cranny of the information space. Can this virtual candidate jump from cyberspace into reality? Alternatively, is this the bridge too far and what triggers a change in how people view the media?
